Resources
These materials are based around the idea of mathematical story-telling, something that the resources’ author describes as ‘The Three Acts of a Mathematical Story’.
Act One
This is where the story is introduced, using as few words as possible, and in a way that will...
Dye-sensitized Solar Energy
The activity, from the Biomimicry 3.8 Institute, provides an illustration of biomimetic technology. Students explore how to produce electricity by constructing a dye-sensitised solar cell at ambient temperatures, using a few simple materials. In the manufacturing of most solar cells, silica must be heated to...

Dyes: Industrial scale up
This is a worksheet which looks at various factors which effect the scaling up of laboratory processes to industrial scale in the commercial manufacture of dyes. Students look at
- costs of the raw materials for each dye
- the percentage yield
- size of reaction vessels
- energy...

Dynamic equilibrium
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Recognise that a reactant added in excess will still be present in the final reaction mixture.
- Recognise that some chemical reactions are reversible.
- Recognise...
