Atomic Structure Bunting Classroom Display

(0)
ATOMIC STRUCTURE BUNTING Included in this resource: 20 bunting triangles - 1 triangle for each of the first 20 elements in the periodic table (hydrogen to calcium included). Students must use a period table to help them fill in the numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons. They can then add the electrons to the correct electron shells. When I have used this previously, I have given each student a triangle to complete independently. They have then cut out their triangle and connected it to the class bunting chain. This makes for a collaborative group activity, resulting in a bold bunting classroom decoration which students can be really proud of. The document is print ready and saved in an A4 format. The document is black and white due to printing purposes, so you may choose to print on colored paper to give a nice effect when it is hung up in your classroom.

Mole Calculations Chemistry Revision Game

Mole Calculations Chemistry Revision Game

(0)
Mole Calculations Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from ‘The Mole Concept’ unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around relative formula mass, moles and masses and volume and concentration calculations. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: What is the relative formula mass of water? How many grams of MgO are there in 0.5 moles? What is the concentration of 5dm3 of acid which is 10 moles? Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF). The students can then cut out the pin wheel for themselves and push a pen or pencil through the middle for the wheel to spin around. I found clamp stands to be a useful alternative.
