Polymers: Hexagon revision puzzle and Self-marking excel worksheet (GCSE)

Triangle puzzle on polymers where students match sentence fragments to construct a large hexagon. It is a revision activity which works across the ability range and is enjoyed by students. This could be used for groups of three, and it works well as a race. An answer sheet is provided.

Introduction to refining and polymerisation. An onscreen cloze/labelling activity written in Excel; it ticks each word as students get them correct. Students like it because it gives immediate feedback. I’ve used it with all ability groups at GCSE. If you want to work out how it’s done, the password to unprotect it is ‘eliziczac’. Save as a template to stop students overwriting the original. Works well on a VLE.
