NMR examples explained
Colourful, comprehensible, clear examples to illustrate the interpretation of proton NMR spectra. Could be used as a display, or on the whiteboard, or as a handout.
Esters worksheet
Introduction on the front, eleven questions on naming esters on the back. All in black and white for photocopying cheaply. To save you some time. Useful for GCSE, but could be used at A level.
Types of chemical reaction.
I made a very simple information sheet/poster. PDF so can be printed at any size.
Chemical Formulae
A simple, photocopiable worksheet (black and white!) that gives practice at interpreting simple chemical formulae. The examples get harder as you proceed. It is comprised of two pages of examples. It is suitable for KS3 and KS4 students. It could be used in class or for homework.
balancing equations for burning hydrocarbons.
A simple black and white worksheet of two sides, with questions on balancing equations for the combustion of hydrocarbons.
Free radical substitution cut&stick
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.

Interactive electronic configuration
Drag and drop resources to reinforce electronic configuration in atoms and how this underpins the layout of the periodic table.
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.
AQA GCSE chemistry: quantitive chemistry wordsearch & bingo
I made a wordsearch and bingo of key words. Just for fun.
End of term Science crossword
A little bit of ‘learning without working’ activity for the end of term, in black and white for easy cheap photocopying. Suitable for all abilities, but earlier years may need to look some clues up. The answers are included.
Nucleophilic substitution animation
Add motion to your lesson. This is a simple animation of the reaction mechanism. It is presented as a single powerpoint slide
Relative molecular mass.
A simple worksheet giving lots of examples of calculating Mr values. answers included. Black and white for ease of photocopying.
Consists of introductory page, examples on back, and final page with answers.
Pretty Poly(mers)
This is a very simple worksheet. Link the name of the polymer to its monomer. Then draw the repeating unit. A drag and drop version may follow. Watch this space.
Naming organic substances 1
A simple worksheet on IUPAC nomenclature. A set of simple rules, followed by nine questions (branched chain alkanes and alkenes) over two sides. With separate answers sheet. First of a series.
Displacement reactions
Readily photocopiable worksheet on displacement reactions and the reactivity series.
