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.

This runs in your browser…click on the correct answer and you get feedback. Eight slides. 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 quiz.html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the quiz.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 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.

Because it matters, and I care

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 simple presentation. Powerpoint and Keynote versions

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

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.

Info sheet followed by a bit of practice in the calculations.

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.

My extremely tacky public information film.
