I made a pack of ten mazes with solutions to keep people quiet as the end of term approaches. Good for developing skills of concentration.

I made a crazy video about hydrolysing water with a hofmann voltameter Note: the youtube version is free. I only put a price on the download because you have to do that for the resource to appear on TES pages.
Drag& Drop Functional Group with formulae

Drag& Drop Functional Group with formulae

(0)
This is a variation of my ‘drag and drop functional group’ activity. In this case you drag the structural formula to the correct name of the functional group. If it is correct it will stick, otherwise it won’t. Could be used around the whiteboard as a quick AFL. This is a simple html5 document- simply double click on the html file and it will load in your web browser. (nb because the table is long, you may have to zoom out in your web browser to complete.) ** 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.

I made a wacky interactive widget thingy to illustrate the gas laws. Change the property with the slider and it draws the graph. Just for fun really. A preview may be seen on my web site.

Biology word searches

Word searches help concentrate on scientific literacy and aid concentration. they are good summary activities and for revision. I have tried to make these attractive and efficacious in that they use only one side of A4. A solution is provided for each.

Cut & Stick reaction mechanisms

5 Resources
Sixth formers love cut & stick exercises. They are valuable because they familiarise the student with the mechanism, they promote discussion when done in groups, and are different to taking notes and practical work.
