Heaven knows why…

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.

One of the most useful skills in answering many GCSE chemistry questions is to work out what type of reaction is involved in the question. This helps you work out what the products may be, but also answer other questions about the reaction. Students often find this very difficult, mainly due to a lack of practice and experience. This simple information sheet with questions at the back is in black and white so can be readily photocopied.

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. 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 key concepts in chemistry interactive quiz.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 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.

A labelling exercise. Very simple.

I made a tiny little presentation on this: far from perfect but ok for me. As ppt, keynote and PDF

I have made a simulation of the marble chips and acid experiment at four different concentrations of acid. Just double click on the “gas syringe.html” file and it will open in your web browser. You could use browser zoom controls to make it huge if you wish. Maybe take measurements of volume of gas evolved against time or just use to introduce the experiment or revise. ( the price for this could save your department many times in broken gas syringes.)
