Science club activity: detecting glucose in urine.

practical involving using benedict’s solution to detect glucose in aqueous samples. Less messy than food tests, and has the clinical biochemistry lab scenario slant. Presentations in powerpoint, keynote and a pdf copy. Hope it is of some use to someone, somewhere.

Blast Furnace: Label it

I wanted a scaleable vector graphic of the blast furnace. Since I could only find low resolution ones on the web I drew my own in affinity designer. Then I turned it into a labelling exercise. Hope someone can use it. NB if you want an editable version, feel free to contact me via my web site.

AFL maybe around the whiteboard, it runs in your browser. unzip, Click on the states of matter drag & drop.html file (leave everything else alone, please!), press the "go for it " button, and you are away! Enjoy. 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 “states of matter drag & drop.html” file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the “states of matter drag & drop.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.

Key concepts in chemistry interactive quiz.

Key concepts in chemistry interactive quiz.

I made a crazy interactive widget thingy to test key concepts in chemistry, with 50 multiple choice questions. Just click on the correct answer. Instant feedback is given and the widget keeps a tally of the score. Just for fun really.

Double click on the .html file and the resource will work in your web browser. If, however , you move or delete any of the files from this hierarchy, the resource will not work. Also: The test is aimed at year 11 students, or perhaps early year 12. I added a couple of questions to which they may not know the answers. This could be used as a check to see if they are googling the answers, or perhaps you might allow them to google the answers as an exercise in self-study. I added some rotating structures- just drag to rotate, and little bits of whimsy, because that is how I am.
