A cut N stick version of my interactive cycle.

Exam boards often take unknown substances and ask students to apply their understanding of chemistry to them. To provide practice answering this type of question, I am developing a series of worksheets with this type of question. The series is called “Practicexamquest.”

One of a series.

I have tried to illustrate the concept of separation of water molecules rather than breaking covalent bonds when water is heated with a quick and dirty animation. Click on the water boiling.html file and it will run in your browser.

A very short & simple video showing transfer of an electron from sodium atom to chlorine atom

Colourful contextual diagram about amides.

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.

A tiny sheet where the student fills in the name of the reaction and the required reagents in the boxes. Start of a series. Covers reactions in OCR B.

I made a definitions sheet for reaction mechanisms for a student of mine. I thought I would share it.

This runs in your browser…click on the correct answer and you get feedback. Eight slides. 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 quiz.html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the quiz.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 used colour to enhance this simple display. Might be of use to someone.

I made a very simple wordsearch. Update: I know have added a labelling exercise to compliment this

I made a tiny cartoon illustrating the two reaction profiles

Because it matters, and I care

to put you in a christmas spirit

A simple information sheet, with the emphasis on clarity. It may be useful to someone, somewhere.

Because I wanted to

A simple summary sheet.

I have made a little interactive cartoon thingy to reinforce or introduce the two types of bond fission, heterolysis and homolysis. Just click on the bond fission html file and it opens in your browser. You can make it huge using the browser zoom controls. 19.9.19- apologies the file previously uploaded was done in error.
