A simple worksheet on IUPAC nomenclature. A set of simple rules, followed by nine questions (branched chain alkanes and alkenes) over two sides. With separate answers sheet. First of a series.

Limiting factors of photosynthesis

I made a crazy interactive widget thingy to illustrate the limiting factor graphs for photosynthesis. Just for fun really. Project it onto the whiteboard perhaps. Make it huge using the browser zoom controls. I hope that it entertains you. 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.

End of term Science crossword

A little bit of ‘learning without working’ activity for the end of term, in black and white for easy cheap photocopying. Suitable for all abilities, but earlier years may need to look some clues up. The answers are included.
Recognising the Type of Reaction

Recognising the Type of Reaction

(0)
One of the most useful skills in answering many GCSE chemistry questions is to work out what type of reaction is involved in the question. This helps you work out what the products may be, but also answer other questions about the reaction. Students often find this very difficult, mainly due to a lack of practice and experience. This simple information sheet with questions at the back is in black and white so can be readily photocopied.

I made a very simple labelling activity for KS3 students. (I have also produced interactive, drag & drop versions. See my 'Anatomy interactive" bundle.
