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. 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.

Molnupiravir: exam practice.

Exam boards often take unknown substances and ask students to apply their understanding of chemistry to them. To provide practice answering this type of question, I am developing a series of worksheets with this type of question. The series is called Practicexamquest. Molnupiravir has recently been approved as an anti COVID drug, so is of topical interest. Comprises 7 questions over 2 sides.

I made a clunky cartoon about cracking alkanes with a cheery soundtrack. The idea is for students to write and record the narration… something different to just ‘writing up’ the experiment.
