A very simple crossword covering initial GCSE ideas on atomic structure.

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

A simple wordsearch on energy & electricity. Word searches help concentrate on scientific literacy and aid concentration. they are good summary activities and for revision. I have tried to make this attractive and efficacious in that it uses only one side of A4.

A very simple worksheet. ( I have now removed the duplicated lamp symbol).

I have tried to illustrate the concept of separation of water molecules rather than breaking covalent bonds when water is heated with a quick and dirty animation. Click on the water boiling.html file and it will run in your browser.

A little bit of ‘learning without working’ activity for the end of term, in black and white for easy cheap photocopying. Suitable for all abilities, but earlier years may need to look some clues up. The answers are included.

I made a tiny, simple little interactive animation thingy to illustrate particles in a clunky kind of way. Just the three states of matter. 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 in your web browser… If, however , you move or delete any of the files from this hierarchy, the resource will not work. stdobbs.com ©D&D production

I made a whacky film thingy about this.

Whacky narrated video showing how to answer the ‘draw a ray diagram to show the formation of an image by a plane mirror’ type question.

As it says on the tin. AQA GCSE science.

Made in response to confusion of a student. A tiny, nutty little video about this. Sixth formers might find it amusing and therefore memorable.
