I post things that are finished and that work. I make resources when I can't find anything that works in the way which I want it to. If they don't work for you then let me know through the comments section and I'll try to put them right. If they do work and you like them then please comment too.
Some things take a long time to make and to get right... so I charge a little for those.

PowerPoint that goes through the Haber process, conditions and position of the equilibrium. Then applies these rules to the contact process.
Comments welcome
Starting with the mining of bauxite and the processing to make alumina.
It then moves on to a useful animation of the electrolysis process that doesn’t need flash

Active reading sheets mean that the pupils have to read them though several times in quick succession to get the answers. They choose the titles for the paragraphs and select data for later questions.
Useful tool for conveying lots of info fast and generating discussion.
The sedimentary rocks sheet is just an old-fashioned cut and sort into order. Give pupils the precut sheets as they are printed in order

Four clear powerpoint slides that show crystallinity in HDPE, random chains in LDPE, thermosetting polymers and thermosoftening polymers.
I go through it using the IWB but print out the slides, two on a paged,backed, without the diagrams, to give pupils the opportunity to draw out the different structures.
Active reading sheets get pupils to read the information several times and analyse it in different ways.
Pupil read the sheet then re-read it to add titles to paragraphs, then re-read it to find the negatives, then re-read to find the positives, then re-read to find business strategies.
A useful way to put across a lot of information without copying and with the knowledge that it will be read.
Comments welcomed
An active reading worksheet that contains a lot of information. Pupils read it through and then read it again to give titles to paragraphs. Then they have to read it again to sift out various bits of information.
Reviews welcome
I don't know what prompted it but a student asked me, 'How many atoms are there in me?' After a quick calculation based on her mass and the atoms all being carbon, the number was too big to visualise. Hence the subsequent question from the same student, 'So how big would that be if every atom was a one pence piece?'
This is the result. Thanks Niamh, for the original question
The same start as the copper powerpoint about the pitfalls of metal extraction.
The difference is the animaton of the purification of copper that shows what happens at each electrode and also electroplating.
Comments welcome.
The old A*-G AQA unit C2 syllabus turned into a series of questions and answers.
Useful for starter questions.
Great for knowledge acquisition. The format is a table with two columns, one Questions, the other Answers. Students fold the paper in half and ask themselves the question, then turn over for the answer.
Great for revision in pairs or with a parent, even if they don’t know the chemistry, because the answers are already there.
The Old A*-G OCR gateway C1 syllabus turned into a series of questions and answers.
Really Useful as a starter question bank.
Great for knowledge acquisition.
The general format is a table with two columns, one Questions, the other Answers. Students fold the paper in half and ask themselves the question, turn over for the answer. Great for revision in pairs or with a parent. Even if they don’t know the chemistry, because the answers are already there.
Now includes the general chemistry knowledge from fundamental chemical concepts.
Thanks to google earth for the satellite images. This shows the area round Vesuvius and allows pupils to discuss why some people live in the shadow of volcanoes.
A version of the glossary provided by the exam boards. This one has had its reading age reduced but not it's content or it&'s usefulness.
It can also be used to introduce the terms in KS3 if you are 'Getting Practical'
Two powerpoints that show different aspects of food chemistry. They include recipes for those that want something more than boiling eggs.
Thanks to my colleague, Mrs Cooper for the egg slide in the emulsifiers powerpoint
This is really simple. A named monomer followed by the named polymer. The structure of both are shown clearly to help with relating the polymer to the monomer and vice versa.
