A wordsearch of the characters found in the Hobbit. With a little easter egg.

I recently downloaded the RSC’s very useful “education in chemistry” resource on titrations. The documents are beautifully produced, but I was appalled that the “diagram” column in the equipment tables were low resolution bitmapped graphics. I thought I would produce my own simple diagrams in vector form, so that they can be used at any scale without pixellation. I provide this as a pdf which you can copy and paste from freely, but if you need SVG files , please feel free to contact me via my web site. They may be of use to someone, somewhere.

I made a crazy interactive widget thingy to illustrate the limiting factor graphs for photosynthesis. Just for fun really. Project it onto the whiteboard perhaps. Make it huge using the browser zoom controls. I hope that it entertains you. 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 simple worksheet

I have made a deliberately clunky representation of this, using gel-pen type colours. Just the sort of thing to amuse some sixth formers. Relish its unprofessionalness. I do. UPDATE: link added to movie on YouTube of hydrolysis reaction. Double click on the html file, and it will open in your browser.

Bah Humbug. For your students’ (mild) entertainment around christmas. With a tiny bit of science in it. And some Latin.

Because I could.

A very simple KS3 labelling exercise

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

I made a very simple information sheet/poster. PDF so can be printed at any size.

I made a crazy interactive widget to illustrate the ionic forms of glycine. Just for fun really.

Remdesivir is a novel antiviral drug in the class of nucleotide analogs. It has been shown to prevent the coronovirus, an RNA virus, from reproducing. Part of the Practicexamques series.

As specified on the tin.

I made a very simple cartoon of the left side of the heart beating.

I illustrated the canonical molecular shapes in this very simple presentation. For fun really.

A simple worsearch with some biology terms from KS3

Preparing for a lesson with a student on waves, I was searching for diagrams to illustrate it. The internet is awash with suitable diagrams, but they all seem to be low-resolution bitmaps. Being a vector graphic fanatic, I made some high quality graphics of my own. I offer them in pdf, keynote and powerpoint formats.
