I found a beautiful diagram of a general bioreactor by Yassine Mrabeton onWikipedia. He has given rights for free use if attributed. I turned it into a label it exercise.

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.

The language of measurement

I used AQA’s list of measurement terms (which is included) to make a wordsearch, bingo game, and match the definition sheet. NB: I have now added the definitions as a presentation, in both powerpoint and keynote formats. I made it in keynote and exported to powerpoint, so the keynote version is better.

I made an infographic about mrs gren, then turned it into an activity by removing the answers. 2 pages. Very simple, but quirky and therefore memorable. That’s my style.

Limiting factors of photosynthesis

I made a crazy interactive widget thingy to illustrate the limiting factor graphs for photosynthesis. Just for fun really. Project it onto the whiteboard perhaps. Make it huge using the browser zoom controls. I hope that it entertains you. 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.
