An introductory sheet of answers, followed by cut and stick exercise for this challenging mechanism. Cut and stick promotes familiarity with the mechanism, promotes discussion when done in groups, and is enjoyed immensely by sixth formers.

Cut & Stick reaction mechanisms

5 Resources
Sixth formers love cut & stick exercises. They are valuable because they familiarise the student with the mechanism, they promote discussion when done in groups, and are different to taking notes and practical work.

Neutralisation Reactions presentation

This is a simple powerpoint presentation outlining how to write word equations for neutralisation reactions. It has plenty of examples and problems. It is allied to my worksheet of the same name, with the same problems for students to try. The answers are at the end of the presentation, for students to mark their own work.

A cut and stick exercise to help reinforce this very important concept. Students cut out the pieces and arrange the pieces to give the correct mechanism.

Double click on ‘digestive system.html’ and file will open in your browser. Drag & Drop around the whiteboard or individually, then perhaps print out the finished work. 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.

The disappearing cross experiment simulation

I have made a simulation of this experiment at four different temperatures. Double click on the “disappearing cross copy.html” file and there it is in your web browser. Students time the cross disappearing, after someone presses the button and shouts go. Saves a nasty experiment with hot solutions and sulfur dioxide. Use over and over again. You can make it huge by using the browser zoom controls. A preview is available on my web site.
