Revamping my HTML-based homepage and making it considerably leaner, I removed many of its contents. Those that I think others might still find useful — notably the science resources — I am reproducing them here.
This is a reproduction of the page containing links to the online PowerPoint slides I used when I taught second year IB Diploma chemistry students (click here for the first year materials) a long time ago. It also contains links to other useful resources.
NB. This is a reproduction of something that was last revised and updated in January 2010! If the curriculum has changed since then–which I am sure it has because IB revises them every four years–it’s your responsibility to identify the relevant from the irrelevant.
