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.

Polymer structures

(1)
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.
The Extraction of Aluminium

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 If you like this, leave a review, some constructive criticism or some questions.

Explaining isotopes powerpoint

(15)
Isotopes of hydrogen are used to show what isotopes are. Calculations of Relative Atomic Mass are covered through a worked example using chlorine and then an exercise using copper.

Purifying copper

Purifying copper

(2)
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 Pitfalls of Metal Extraction or Quarrying

The Pitfalls of Metal Extraction or Quarrying

(2)
A few facts to begin with to show the amount of waste produced by metal extraction. Then asks pupils to consider the effects of a nearby farm discovering copper and selling up to become a copper mine.
The extraction of iron

The extraction of iron

(0)
This powerpoint focuses less on chemistry and more on the economic aspects of the process. Some good links to geography and business studies.
Some Key-words to use in controlled assessments

Some Key-words to use in controlled assessments

(1)
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'

Loop game for crude oil from Gateway C1

(1)
Cut out the answer and question sections. Pupils find the answer to each question until they arrive back at the start. There is on question that doesnt fit, so watch out for it. comments welcome
Isomers of butene

Isomers of butene

(2)
This introduces cis and trans isomerism. Let me rephrase that. This introduces E/Z isomerism.
All the OCR Y10 Formulae and RMMs on one sheet
mrlowemrlowe

All the OCR Y10 Formulae and RMMs on one sheet

(1)
Students write formulae from names and calculate relative molecular masses from formulae. A simple two sided sheet that covers all the formulae and masses needed in the Y10 OCR course but will be useful for other boards. comments welcome.
Fertilisation in Humans
mrlowemrlowe

Fertilisation in Humans

(4)
This is a three slide powerpoint. Print out the first two and you have a cut and paste activity. I added the third slide so that pupils could self mark the activity. It saves a lot of writing about intercourse which some pupils in year seven find difficult to do. Comments and feedback welcome
Datasheet of common ions
mrlowemrlowe

Datasheet of common ions

(6)
A simple table of common ions that pupils can reference when working out formulae. Old fashioned but great for those stretching and challenging formulae questions
Fats and Oils
mrlowemrlowe

Fats and Oils

(1)
A powerpoint that shows the triester structure of fats and then looks at the different types of fatty acids. Comments welcome
Making and naming chain isomers
mrlowemrlowe

Making and naming chain isomers

(1)
This powerpoint is meant to be used in conjunction with a molecular modelling kit. Students work in groups to build what they think are the isomers called for. They can then rotate the chains to find out which ones are the same. Namenclature can also be tested Comments welcome.
