Put your name on it
The poster has a plate that says This poster belongs to. Type your name and we write it on the line for you. It all happens on your own device, so your name is never sent to us.
Sign in and we will fill in your name for you.
Prefer a pen? Download the plain poster above and write on the line. Bangla names work too, if your device has a Bangla font (most phones do).
Printing tips
Get a good print without spending much
Choose the size
A3 is the design size, and A2 is best for a wall. Most print shops can do both. Choose "Actual size" or "Fit to page" in the print settings.
Save ink
The page is white and the header is pale, so even the colour edition uses little ink. On a black-and-white printer, use the black-and-white edition.
Print one test
Screens and printers show colours differently. Print one copy first and hold it at arm's length. It should be easy to read.
In the classroom
Four ways to use it
Smell test. Smell cinnamon, cumin, mint, clove, fennel and cardamom, and match each to its molecule. Which two share an aldehyde?
Two experiments. Try the whole-or-crushed test and the warm-it-up test from the bottom of the poster, with an adult. What changes when more molecules can escape?
Spot the groups. Cinnamon and cumin are aldehydes, coriander and mint are alcohols, and cardamom is an ester. Compare with the Functional groups poster.
Collect the set. This is part 2 of 3. See the heat poster and the taste poster too.
Free to print and use in classrooms, labs and reading rooms, with Chem2Cure credited. Please do not sell it. Check the facts against your textbook.
