Sixth formers love cut & stick. They reinforce understanding and promote discussion. Cut sheet and stick sheet, with spaces to write in bond angles, number of bonding pairs and number of lone pairs.

alkenes versus arenes

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 made a pack of ten mazes with solutions to keep people quiet as the end of term approaches. Good for developing skills of concentration.

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.
Drag& Drop Functional Group with formulae

Drag& Drop Functional Group with formulae

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. 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 made a wacky interactive widget thingy to illustrate the gas laws. Change the property with the slider and it draws the graph. Just for fun really. A preview may be seen on my web site.
