I made a whacky revision cartoon thingy about the motor effect and fleming’s left hand rule. Just for fun really. (the youtube version has narrative)

Water circuit analogy

In the past I have used a physical water circuit to explain to groups concepts such as potential difference and current. I wanted my own diagram of this, so produced this. Someone, somewhere might find it of use.

I have made a very simple information sheet about forming mineral acids, for display or handout. Very few students are aware of this bit of basic chemistry, so I think it is worthwhile.

A simple cut & match activity which is really just practice at naming and recognising structures and their representations. I made this because I enjoy doing this sort of thing!

Match the definition to the word. Words taken for AQA GCSE science ‘how science works’ Please note: this can be printed on two sides of the same sheet, because the definitions are on the same side- no need to keep turning over. Update: I have now included a simple presentation with the definitions.

I made a tiny cartoon to contrast the action of a zinc electrode as an electrochemical cell or as in electrolysis. Double click on 'zinc electrode.html"

I made a simple display of the atomic structure of various isotopes, with the emphasis on simplicity and clarity. Just because I wanted to. I also included it as keynote and powerpoint presentations.

Double click on the HTML file 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.
