Many animations: measurement of rates; effect of concentration, temp, surface area, catalysts. A fun interactive whiteboard quiz hosted by Mister T; a chance for pupils to interpret a rate of reaction graph. Some of the excellent animations are free samples from Crocodile Clips Chemistry (see link below). Some are from the excellent www.sciencepages.co.uk who kindly gave permission for their use.

A card game designed to reinforce and consolidate students' understanding of displacement reactions of the halogens. The rules are similar to whist with students a pair of cards if a reaction would occur. The game usually prompts much student discussion about the reactions. There is a set of cards to print out, and a teacher sheet with instructions about how to play.

This presentation summarises the physical and chemical properties of the alkali metals. It contains interactive slides for class questions and particle diagrams to show the reactions with oxygen, chlorine and water. The ppt finishes with a summary activity. I have used this as a whole lesson with a teacher demonstration of the alkali metals and have found that students understand the work well.
