Anion and Cation Testing Foldable Activity

Here’s a really useful summary resource that can be used to help students learn the tests for different ions and also the positive results of each test. I used this in my classroom to help prepare students for a 6-mark extended question on ion testing and it really helped them to remember the details of the more difficult tests.

This resource includes a foldable sheet with different tabs for each test and an inner, central, section for students to colour in the positive results of flame tests & precipitate tests. I’ve also added extension tasks that can be used to push higher attaining students. Answers are also included.

Feedback is always appreciated :)
