60 Second Chemistry Quiz Challenge

Over the past few years AUS-e-TUTE has received a lot of feedback.
One of the things that we hear a lot from teachers who are part of an AUS-e-TUTE Class or School Group Membership is that the students love to do the drills. They love to see how many questions they can get done quickly.
Well ..... we thought we could turn some basic chemistry concepts into timed challenges.
And ..... we've just uploaded the very first of these. We've called it the 60 Second Chemistry Quiz Challenge because you have just 60 seconds to answer as many questions correctly as you can.
This 60 Second Chemistry Quiz Challenge is called "It's Elementary", so I'm sure you can already guess what the questions are about :)

You can have a go yourself at:

Polymer Banknotes

Australia was the first country to successfully replace paper notes with polymer notes, beginning with the circulation of $10 polymer banknotes back in 1988. Other countries, including Brunei, Canada, Fiji, Israel, Mauritius, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Romania, and Vietnam, have now abandoned paper in favour of polymer banknotes. Even the Bank of England will begin circulating polymer banknotes to replace the existing paper banknotes in 2016.

Australia is still the world's leading authority and prints polymer banknotes for more than 20 other countries in the world.

But what is a polymer banknote and why is it better than a paper banknote?
