I post things that are finished and that work. I make resources when I can't find anything that works in the way which I want it to. If they don't work for you then let me know through the comments section and I'll try to put them right. If they do work and you like them then please comment too. Some things take a long time to make and to get right... so I charge a little for those.

A simple powerpoint with a clear visual representation of how diffusion works. Higher level. Comments welcome.
Polymer structures

Polymer structures

This is really simple. A named monomer followed by the named polymer. The structure of both are shown clearly to help with relating the polymer to the monomer and vice versa.

Thermosetting and thermosoftening polymers

(0)
Four clear powerpoint slides that show crystallinity in HDPE, random chains in LDPE, thermosetting polymers and thermosoftening polymers.\nI go through it using the IWB but print out the slides, two on a paged,backed, without the diagrams, to give pupils the opportunity to draw out the different structures.

A practical worksheet on the whiteboard to save with photocopying. A simple prac, put rocks in water, dry off and see if they have gained mass. A sample set of results are included. Comments welcome
Finding formulae and writing equations

Finding formulae and writing equations

(10)
A carefully constructed sequence of exercises to teach students how to write chemical formulae. \nThen students are taken through writing equations with a worked example and then a series of questions.
Double bond structure

Double bond structure

(0)
A power point that explains double bond structure. It starts wityh bond angles and develops into sigma and pi bonds. Comments welcome.
How many atoms are there in me? starter.

How many atoms are there in me? starter.

(2)
I don't know what prompted it but a student asked me, 'How many atoms are there in me?' After a quick calculation based on her mass and the atoms all being carbon, the number was too big to visualise. Hence the subsequent question from the same student, 'So how big would that be if every atom was a one pence piece?'\n\nThis is the result. Thanks Niamh, for the original question

Some Key-words to use in controlled assessments

(0)
A version of the glossary provided by the exam boards. This one has had its reading age reduced but not it's content or it&'s usefulness.\n\nIt can also be used to introduce the terms in KS3 if you are 'Getting Practical'
Isomers of butene

This introduces cis and trans isomerism. Let me rephrase that. This introduces E/Z isomerism.
The bonding in ethene
mrlowemrlowe

The bonding in ethene

(0)
This can be used as an introduction to ethene. It is designed to help students link the displayed formula, that is common in texts, to the idea of a covalent bond being a shared pair of electrons.\n\nComments and feedback are welcome
Making and naming chain isomers

Making and naming chain isomers

(0)
This powerpoint is meant to be used in conjunction with a molecular modelling kit. Students work in groups to build what they think are the isomers called for. They can then rotate the chains to find out which ones are the same.\n\nNamenclature can also be tested\n\nComments welcome.
