Put the concept on the board. Let them play with it.

An interactive GCSE chemistry lesson exploring electron configurations and their connection to the periodic table. Students build shell diagrams for the first 20 elements, write numerical configurations and investigate how outer electrons and occupied shells determine group and period. Includes animated shell filling, worked examples, guided practice, element comparisons and reaction predictions, aligned with AQA 4.1.1.7 and 4.1.2.1.

An interactive Year 7 Biology lesson exploring how substances move into and out of cells. Students develop the idea of diffusion using animated particle models, investigate the spread of a smell, and carry out a virtual coloured-agar diffusion experiment with timed observations. The lesson then applies these ideas to plants, including gas exchange, osmosis and an animated explanation of how water loss causes wilting. Activities follow pages 19–23 of the accompanying Cells lesson booklet and include retrieval, guided explanations, practical observation, checking and application tasks.

Observing Cells is an interactive Year 7 Biology lesson introducing cells, microscopes and magnification. It follows pages 4–8 of the Cells lesson booklet, using large classroom-friendly visuals, guided explanations and interactive checks. Students explore how living things are made of cells, learn the main parts of a light microscope and their functions, practise the correct focusing sequence, and calculate total magnification. Visual models include a zoom from a leaf to individual cells, Hooke’s cork observations, scientific drawing guidance, and realistic onion and cheek cell views at different magnifications.

An interactive Year 7 Biology lesson exploring how specialised cells are adapted to carry out particular jobs. Students investigate nerve cells, red blood cells, sperm and egg cells, palisade cells and root hair cells using animated models, selectable features and guided activities. Visualisations include repeated electrical impulses travelling along a nerve cell, oxygen binding to haemoglobin and being transported from the lungs to body tissues, a scaled sperm–egg comparison, photosynthesis in palisade cells and absorption by root hair cells.

An interactive GCSE Chemistry visualisation for exploring the properties and reactions of the Group 7 halogens. Students compare chlorine, bromine and iodine, investigate trends in relative molecular mass, melting point and boiling point, explore why reactivity decreases down the group, and model the formation of ionic and covalent compounds. An interactive displacement-reaction lab allows students to predict, observe and explain reactions between halogens and aqueous halide salts. Projector and Student views, staged animations, predictions and diagnostic questions support both whole-class teaching and independent learning.

Explore first and successive ionisation energies through animated electron removal, electron configurations, orbital diagrams and interactive graphs. Compare atoms and ions, investigate trends across periods and down groups, and explain exceptions using nuclear charge, shielding, subshells and electron pairing. Includes prediction-and-reveal controls and data for elements from hydrogen to xenon.

An interactive A-level chemistry simulation linking molecular structure and intermolecular forces to physical properties. Explore iodine and ice lattices, rotate local and extended 3-D ice structures, and investigate melting, boiling, solubility and electrical conductivity. Animated particle models explain water’s unusually high melting and boiling points and why ice floats. Designed to follow the molecular shapes, polarity and intermolecular forces simulations, with prediction prompts, revealable explanations and understanding checks.

An interactive A-level chemistry tool exploring London forces, permanent dipole–dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding. Animated electron clouds show how temporary dipoles arise and induce dipoles in neighbouring particles. Molecular models, displayed formulae and comparisons help students connect molecular structure with intermolecular attractions, while investigations explore polarisability, molecular contact and boiling.

An interactive exploration of electronegativity, bond polarity and molecular polarity for A-level Chemistry. Students compare Pauling values, investigate periodic trends and switch between dot-and-cross representations, electron clouds and rotatable molecular models. Whole-molecule charge maps show electron-rich and electron-poor regions, while animated charge-centre constructions explain why bond dipoles cancel or produce an overall dipole. Any two examples can be compared side by side, with prediction questions and explanatory feedback supporting classroom discussion and independent learning.
