there are many diagrams of the fractionating column out there. I unashamedly drew on many of them as inspiration for this. However, they are almost exclusively low resolution, bitmapped graphics. I have made my version as an infinitely scalable vector graphic. I then used it to make this labelling exercise. Just for the love of it really. I hope someone might find it useful.

may be useful as a starter or something.

I recently downloaded the RSC’s very useful “education in chemistry” resource on titrations. The documents are beautifully produced, but I was appalled that the “diagram” column in the equipment tables were low resolution bitmapped graphics. I thought I would produce my own simple diagrams in vector form, so that they can be used at any scale without pixellation. I provide this as a pdf which you can copy and paste from freely, but if you need SVG files , please feel free to contact me via my web site. They may be of use to someone, somewhere.

A simple worksheet.

This is quite a challenging wordsearch, although it appears simple. ( I have now included a pdf of 30 atomic structure bingo cards)

I made a very simple information sheet/poster. PDF so can be printed at any size.

I illustrated the canonical molecular shapes in this very simple presentation. For fun really.

Open the html file et voila. Drag the descriptions to the correct places and get a prize. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop 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.

Bah Humbug. For your students’ (mild) entertainment around christmas. With a tiny bit of science in it. And some Latin.

For fun

A very simple (and so clear) labelling activity. (NB. Please also see my interactive, drag & drop version, for £1.00, in my shop.)

I made a crazy interactive widget to illustrate the ionic forms of glycine. Just for fun really.
