For fun

A simple movie to help explain electrolysis. Uses half equations.

I made a very simple ‘fill in the gaps’ worksheet. It may be useful because it focuses on the adjectival and noun words in this topic.

A diagram to be labelled.

A simple worksheet.

Based on AQA chemistry specification.

A straightforward worksheet on the oxidation of alcohols with information on the front, questions, then answers. In black & white for ready photocopying.

An alternative to my cut and stick exercise. Double click on the .html file, and it will open in your browser. You can zoom it so it’s huge using the browser zoom controls. Drag the structures to the correct places, then get a reward. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop 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 frome this hierarchy, the resource will not work.

I made a simple information sheet about combustion of fuels and pollution. Because I wanted to.

A simple cartoon with half equations. Electrode labels now correct! I have now added positive charges to the hydrogen atom cores/hydrogen ions. The you tube version adds a funky beat.

A very simple diagram of the apparatus for simple distillation. It may be useful for teaching the principles of how to draw diagrams in chemistry.

Just a simple info sheet/poster.

A very simple worksheet to aid the distinction of addition polymers from condensation polymers. Explanation on page 1, questions on page 2.

Cut & stick away.

A tiny sheet where the student fills in the name of the reaction and the required reagents in the boxes. Start of a series. Covers reactions in OCR B.

For GCSE chemistry enjoyment

Just practice at recognising types of chemical species.

I made an little interactive widget thingy about the coloured forms of this indicator. It can be seen on my web site. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my interactive resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.

All chemistry students should have this somewhere in their folder. Plus a sheet with ten questions.

Reaction mechanisms are beautiful dances, with the dancing atoms throwing out two (heterolytic ) or one (homolytic) arms out to their partner. Thus, I added a little beat to this reaction mechanism.
