A very eccentric revision movie about making salts. Uses repetition to aid memory.

Info sheet followed by a bit of practice in the calculations.

A cut N stick version of my interactive cycle.

Exam boards often take unknown substances and ask students to apply their understanding of chemistry to them. To provide practice answering this type of question, I am developing a series of worksheets with this type of question. The series is called “Practicexamquest.”

One of a series.

I have made a little movie to simply distinguish between SN1 and SN2. It is similar my youtube video shown ( no music though- if you want that, just use the youtube!) I have not added commentary, leaving that to the teacher. If required, I could add it. Update: now sn1 improved so it is more simultaneous. 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.

I set this to a funky beat, in an attempt to aid memory. Play it over and over again. If it’s too large to download, you could play it directly from this page, pressing the fill screen button. Why not play it at the end of many lessons, getting students to chant the names of the functional groups as they appear? A real process of learning.

I made a tiny, simple little interactive animation thingy to illustrate particles in a clunky kind of way. Just the three states of matter.

A simple cut & stick exercise

I got out my felt pens again and made a naive little movie of this reaction, just to show where the atoms come from and go to. No mechanism in sight.

I made a definitions sheet for reaction mechanisms for a student of mine. I thought I would share it.

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 an little interactive widget thingy about the coloured forms of this indicator. It can be seen on my web site.

Quick and rough. 7 slides to summarize ways of representing molecules using glycine as an example. Might save you some time.

I made this for my own amusement. I have now included my KS4 worksheet activity as a free gift.

When I was teaching chemistry, we bought an 'interactive periodic table" which turned out to comprise laminated printed sheets of the first 22 elements with their electronic configurations, and some blue tac. This is my response to that. CLICK ON AN ELEMENT AND THE ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION IS RETURNED. This compliments my drag & drop version.

I made a simple labelling exercise for this GCSE chemistry practical. Now added a very simple additional worksheet

I have made a little interactive cartoon thingy to reinforce or introduce the two types of bond fission, heterolysis and homolysis. Just click on the bond fission html file and it opens in your browser. You can make it huge using the browser zoom controls. 19.9.19- apologies the file previously uploaded was done in error.

Just practice at recognising types of chemical species.
