My usual series of A level chemistry practice exam questions. Take it or leave it.

I made a simple three slide presentation concerning addition reaction of alkenes compared with the substitution reaction of arenes. This is an important exam question topic and is poorly understood by students. I enclose both keynote and powerpoint versions.

I wanted some nice graphics concerning the benzene topic for my own use, so I made some vector artwork and thought they might be of some use to somebody. These are all pdf files, but if you want editable svg or eps files, contact me.

I made some nice vector artwork about this. I. thought I would share them. let me know if you want them in an editable format.

I made one of my cludgy videos to illustrate this important exam topic.

I made a fun video illustrating how to draw diagrams of electronic configuration, for GCSE chemists.

A minimalist presentation which has dot diagrams up to potassium.

I made a fun video about dipoles in molecules.

This runs in your browser…click on the correct answer and you get feedback. Eight slides. 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 quiz.html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the quiz.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.

I made a crazy video about hydrolysing water with a hofmann voltameter Note: the youtube version is free. I only put a price on the download because you have to do that for the resource to appear on TES pages.

I made a simple worksheet about density. 5 pages. Two of info, one table of values, a page of questions and my answers. I have now added a keynote and powerpoint version.

simple labelling exercise

Made for my own satisfaction I have now added a set of bingo cards as an alternative

I made a little presentation about working out the number of each atom from the formula. As keynote, powerpoint & pdf versions.

This is an HTML5 version of my Electronic configuration and the Periodic Table activity (no flash plugin is required) Double click on the periodic table.html file et voila… . drag the electronic configurations to the correct elements. This provides an excellent understanding of the layout of the periodic table and its basis in electronic structure. Can be used many times, say as AFL on the whiteboard. It can be previewed on my web site. (pleas note: I made it big for projection, but if it’s too big or small, simply zoom in or out with the browser zoom control.) Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop 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.

Match the hazard warning sign to its description. If correct it sticks. Open the html file by double clicking, et voila. A preview of this activity can be seen on my web site.

A Drag & Drop exercise for building up the electronic structure of atoms. After a short cartoon for building up an atom of calcium, students build up four atoms by drag and drop. Could be used projected on the whiteboard or by students individually at computers. Double click on the full atomic structure.html file and it will open in your browser. I made it big for projection, but it can be made smaller by zooming out using the browser zoom control.

This is a variation of my ‘drag and drop functional group’ activity. In this case you drag the structural formula to the correct name of the functional group. If it is correct it will stick, otherwise it won’t. Could be used around the whiteboard as a quick AFL. This is a simple html5 document- simply double click on the html file and it will load in your web browser. (nb because the table is long, you may have to zoom out in your web browser to complete.) ** Please note:** in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my interactive resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.

For fun

A very simple (and so clear) labelling activity. (NB. Please also see my interactive, drag & drop version, for £1.00, in my shop.)
