I made a very simple information sheet/poster. PDF so can be printed at any size.

I made a crazy interactive widget to illustrate the ionic forms of glycine. Just for fun really. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my interactive resources are mini-web sites local to your computer. After unzipping, they comprise a folder containing the main .html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the .html file and the resource will work. If, however , you move or delete any of the files from this hierarchy, the resource will not work.

A simple, readily photocopied worksheet on phenol. Information on the front, six questions on the back.

I have made a simulation of the marble chips and acid experiment at four different concentrations of acid. Just double click on the “gas syringe.html” file and it will open in your web browser. You could use browser zoom controls to make it huge if you wish. Maybe take measurements of volume of gas evolved against time or just use to introduce the experiment or revise. ( the price for this could save your department many times in broken gas syringes.)

For AQA GCSE Chemistry.

I have made a simulation of this experiment at four different temperatures. Double click on the “disappearing cross copy.html” file and there it is in your web browser. Students time the cross disappearing, after someone presses the button and shouts go. Saves a nasty experiment with hot solutions and sulfur dioxide. Use over and over again. You can make it huge by using the browser zoom controls. A preview is available on my web site.

The development of atomic models over time.

I made a wordsearch and bingo of key words. Just for fun.

This is a simple worksheet about writing word equations for neutralisation reactions. It covers 2 pages. There are plenty of examples, which get harder as you go on. There is an accompanying powerpoint, as an additional download… NB I am well aware that exam boards, RSC and text books regard acid plus metal to be a redox reaction, which of course it is. However, in such a reaction, the pH increases to neutral and the acid has gone, so I think it can properly be regarded as neutralization of an acid. And since this worksheet is really about naming salts, I had to include it. I removed the spurious reaction of copper metal with dilute acids (woops, senile moment)

Info sheet followed by a bit of practice in the calculations.

I have made a cartoon of dot cross type diagrams for all of the structures on the AQA specification. Simple double click on the covalent bonding.html file and it runs in your browser. Its nice and colourful, big and bold (zoom in with your browser to make it as big as possible). Could use around the whiteboard, or for independent study at a computer. It’s not intended as a whole lesson, but as a useful resource that can be revisited a number of times with a class to reinforce what they need to know for the exam. Could be starter or plenary or interlude. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.

I made an intertactive widget thingy with multiple choice questions about KS 4 chemistry. Point at the correct answer and click. Instant feedback provided. 20 fun questions.

i made a tiny cartoon trying to explain how the halogen carrier works in friedel crafts (PS: you can use the youtube version for free)

I made a tiny video to illustrate this.

A minute video giving defintions of nucleophile and electrophile. Because I could.

I made a crazy cartoon illustrating the calculation of the enthalpy change from bond enthalpies for the reaction between chlorine and hydrogen. Just for fun really. Note: the youtube version is free.

I made a tiny worksheet on calculating % composition

Double click on pretty poly(mers).html, and the activity will open in you browser. Simply drag the structure of each monomer to the box next to the name of the polymer. Good AFL around the whiteboard. A paper version is also available. Suitable for GCSE and A level students.
