In my previous incarnation<\/a> as a high school Chemistry teacher, I would begin a topic with a multi-media PowerPoint presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objectives were to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. introduce the most important concept in the topic,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. get my students\u2019 imagination going,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. put the topic into wider context, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. start the topic with some\u2026laughter!!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I thought some teachers and students might find those presentations useful. So I have decided to publish them all here as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The following is the introduction to the subject of IB Diploma Chemistry. As such, it contains images which also appear in the topic introductory presentations, such as Bonding<\/a>, Kinetics<\/a> etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Of course, since I didn\u2019t record the presentation, my commentaries are missing. But it might be interesting (challenging?) for you to try and figure out what I must have accompanied each slide with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With this particular presentation, when the students walked into the classroom, they would have been greeted with the title slide projected on the whiteboard and Rush’s Chemistry<\/a> playing in the background!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Update January 6, 2017<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Google Drive publish function stopped working and so, finding no alternative, I have had to convert the PowerPoint presentation into a movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
