introduction ppt

to help with low ability ionic bonding

tutorial explaining how to write formulae and equations. also a worksheet - I give this out before starting to teach 'balancing equations&'. It saves a lot of time answering the same questions!

I set h/w to use books to make notes on the diazonium ion (will have interesting results). I start lesson by offering pupils a selection of sweets (including skittles) and then put up first slide. Would they allow their children to eat these sweets? after this lesson we do the prac to make an azo dye

worksheet including questions on definitions, properties, uses and differences between HDPE and LDPE.
