I made a tiny, simple little interactive animation thingy to illustrate particles in a clunky kind of way. Just the three states of matter.

I got out my felt pens again and made a naive little movie of this reaction, just to show where the atoms come from and go to. No mechanism in sight.

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.

I made a definitions sheet for reaction mechanisms for a student of mine. I thought I would share it.

I made a very simple wordsearch. Update: I know have added a labelling exercise to compliment this

I made a tiny cartoon illustrating the two reaction profiles

When I was teaching chemistry, we bought an 'interactive periodic table" which turned out to comprise laminated printed sheets of the first 22 elements with their electronic configurations, and some blue tac. This is my response to that. CLICK ON AN ELEMENT AND THE ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION IS RETURNED. This compliments my drag & drop version.

A simple information sheet, with the emphasis on clarity. It may be useful to someone, somewhere.

Because I wanted to

A simple summary sheet.

I have made a little interactive cartoon thingy to reinforce or introduce the two types of bond fission, heterolysis and homolysis. Just click on the bond fission html file and it opens in your browser. You can make it huge using the browser zoom controls. 19.9.19- apologies the file previously uploaded was done in error.

I made a presentation illustrating the structure of the amino acids

I made a simple presentation. Powerpoint and Keynote versions

I made a simple summary sheet as a revision resource. It aims briefly to summarise the benzene evidence.

Just for fun

I have made a very simple information sheet about forming mineral acids, for display or handout. Very few students are aware of this bit of basic chemistry, so I think it is worthwhile.

Could be useful at the end of term. Students could then research some scientists of whom they hadn’t heard.

A simple cut & match activity which is really just practice at naming and recognising structures and their representations. I made this because I enjoy doing this sort of thing!

I have made a simple information sheet for this important, but much neglected, topic.
