New blog post - it's been a while.. scienceskool.co.uk/1/post/20…
An old video (12 years ago!) of a very large and dangerous thermite reaction I did. Aluminium displaces the iron in iron oxide exothermically. If you look closely you can see me lighting the reaction, and then almost getting killed in the process. #science #dangerous #chemistry
Giant periodic table?" Completed it mate". With thanks to @compoundchem for the amazing infographics.
The Dragon's Breath demonstration. Blowing icing sugar through a Bunsen flame. The huge surface area allows the icing sugar to ignite, this effect is one of the reasons that flour mills and their like have to be so careful. #dragon #science #chemistry #demonstration
One of the biggest misconceptions in education in England is that a grade 4 GCSE is a pass. Unless you get a U, you have passed the GCSE. Not all students can, or will, achieve a grade 4, and for those who work hard and have tried their best, they should be allowed to be proud.

Eh, have another semi-periodic reminder that ()() is not a palindrome but ())( is
This is awesome!
300 years of element discovery in 99 seconds. What the Periodic Table would have looked like every year since 1718.
I’m a 109 elements old. What’s your elemental age? #RealTimeChem
Another electrochemical cells questions for the twittersphere. Can anyone give a convincing argument as to why in fuel cells they call the anode the negative electrode and the cathode positive.

Interesting question from an alevel student today. When making and drawing electrochemical cells, why does the voltmeter appear go in series! Anyone have an answer, I hadn't even noticed before. @SellaTheChemist @WRBdB
Greensward Academy would love this.

The iodine clock results are in! Two times speed, and almost incomprehensible sound. As you can see, increasing concentration of iodine increases rate, in what should be a first order reaction. Results are not perfect but I blame the students! #chemistry #science #practicals
All ready to start simultaneous iodine clock reactions. Potassium iodine concentrations ranging from 4.0x10-3 to 2.0x10-2. Results video to follow! #chemistry #science #kinetics #experiment #practicals #rates
