Effect of pH on amino acids

I made a crazy interactive widget to illustrate the ionic forms of glycine. Just for fun really. 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 made a little cartoon to illustrate biceps and triceps contracting and relaxing to move the arm. Simply double click on the .html file, and it should open in your browser. Now has radius and ulnar. A preview is available 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.

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 solution is provided.

I have made a simulation of the marble chips and acid experiment at four different concentrations of acid. Just double click on the “gas syringe.html” file and it will open in your web browser. You could use browser zoom controls to make it huge if you wish. Maybe take measurements of volume of gas evolved against time or just use to introduce the experiment or revise. ( the price for this could save your department many times in broken gas syringes.)
