I made an little interactive widget thingy about the coloured forms of this indicator. It can be seen on my web site. 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. ©D&D production

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

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 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.
