I have added the new definitions to the SI wheel of units. Possibly for display in your lab.

A straightforward worksheet on the oxidation of alcohols with information on the front, questions, then answers. In black & white for ready photocopying.

I have made a very simple information sheet about forming mineral acids, for display or handout. Very few students are aware of this bit of basic chemistry, so I think it is worthwhile.
Classification hierarchy drag&drop

Classification hierarchy drag&drop

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. 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.

simple quick video, three chromosomes, maybe students can shout out the stages. (hope it’s accurate enough, if not students can point out the errors!)

Double click on the .html file and it will open in your browser. Make it massive using the browser zoom controls if you so desire. Drag the symbols to the correct places. Gives a different flavour to learning mechanisms. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.

Word searches help concentrate on scientific literacy and aid concentration. they are good summary activities and for revision. I have tried to make this attractive and efficacious in that it uses only one side of A4. A solution is provided.
