I made a tiny little widget thingummy. Press the button and watch the movement of myosin filaments during contraction or relaxation. Just for fun. 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.

A wacky classification interactive activity that might amuse some students. Double click on the .html file and it will open in your browser. Drag the components into the correct order. You could make it huge using browser zoom controls. I have added a funky soundtrack to spice it up a bit.

I got my gel pens out, and by request, cobbled together a hydrolytic lock & key cartoon. Its worse even than the associative one.

Match the definition to the word. Words taken for AQA GCSE science ‘how science works’ Please note: this can be printed on two sides of the same sheet, because the definitions are on the same side- no need to keep turning over. Update: I have now included a simple presentation with the definitions.

I stole this wheel from wikipedia (NB the author grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions), so I put it onto a display that may be useful to someone. I made the table myself.

I made an infographic about mrs gren, then turned it into an activity by removing the answers. 2 pages. Very simple, but quirky and therefore memorable. That’s my style.

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.
