The Crude Oil PowerPoint outlines the fact that crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons. The PowerPoint Alkanes and Alkenes discusses how crude oil is separated via fractional distillation, the properties and uses of alkanes and alkenes, cracking, and polymerisation leading to the production of plastics. Worksheet answers appear in the presentation. Several animations throughout. [17 Slides]

Introduction to refining and polymerisation. An onscreen cloze/labelling activity written in Excel; it ticks each word as students get them correct. Students like it because it gives immediate feedback. I've used it with all ability groups at GCSE. If you want to work out how it's done, the password to unprotect it is 'teachable'. Save as a template to stop students overwriting the original.
