Mind maps linking key definitions for new specification AQA A-level Chemistry Unit 3.1.1 Atomic Structure Unit 3.1.2 Amount of substance Cut and stick a comprehensive glossary onto a pre-prepared mind map showing the connections between the concepts and definitions in the topic. How many marks do your students lose because they cannot correctly interpret the question or use the incorrect terminology in the definitions? This activity is best printed A3 so the definitions can be easily read. Students can then prepare their own mind map definitions sheet by cutting and sticking the relevant definitions onto the mind map. Make it more or less difficult by adjusting the mind maps to contain more or less information to help them.
