GCSE chemistry I was experimenting with this new style of wordsearch (for me) where the student colours in the correct letters. I guess this gives a more attractive overall result.

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.

A wordsearch in which you colour in the letters of the solution. Just for fun & mindfulness

just because … (note: the letters are outlined so the words can be coloured in, rather than ringed or highlighted)

because.

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.

pride comes before a fall

There was a song…

Because I’m a decent minded man

a very simple and short presentation on the structure of NADH As powerpoint, keynote and PDF

A simple wordsearch for AQA GCSE chemistry. It might save you a few minutes.

I made a very simple presentation to illustrate the structure of ATP. Available as powerpoint, keynote and PDF

getting into the holiday spirit

end of term fun

I came across a beautiful (copywright-free) animated GIF of the stucture of Pacal’s triangle on Wikepedia . However, it is small and looks terrible when blown up to full screen size because gifs are bitmapped and therefore pixilated. I resolved to replicate it as a vector animation that can be played at any size. I offer this as an html file ( which will open in your browser) , and an mp4 movie. I also exported it as a much larger animated GIF. If you would like it as an animated SVG please contact me via my web site (purely because TES won’t allow me to upload SVG’s)

I made a tiny crazy little animation of agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments. Maybe sudents could provide narration. In the following formats: HTML (double click and it opens in your browser) animated gif MP4 (movie)

I made a whacky cartoon so students can see a gel run. I provide it as an MP4 movie, but also as an html page which will open in the browser. The latter will continuopusly loop. Maybe run in the background on an open day? (NB if its too big in your browser, simply zoom out using the browser’s zoom controls.)
