A very simple KS3 labelling exercise

with some easter eggs

Use the proton NMR trace to distinguish which is which.

i made a tiny video

Add motion to your lesson. This is a simple animation of the reaction mechanism. It is presented as a single powerpoint slide

I dont’t know why.

For my amusement

resistance is futile

For reasons only known to myself, I sat down with the spec & made this. With solution.

Make things move in your class. A little starter illustrating the nitration of benzene. Just open the ‘electrophilic substitution , nitration of benzene copy.html’ file and it will run in your browser. You can zoom in or out using the browser controls. 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 have also included it as a movie format.

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.

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.

Part of my series of A level style questions. Two pages with six questions.

I made this set of exam questions around glycerol. It has six questions over two sides.

for that first lesson.

Distinguish between element or compound from the formula.

A fun video about this. Because I wanted to.

This maybe helpful as a small revision exercise. Has a ‘check my answers’, ‘solve’, and ‘hint’ button. This runs in your browser. Simply click on the file called ‘index’ Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my interactive resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.

One of my wacky videos illustrating the difference in reactivity of benzene vs phenol in terms of polarising power.
