History of the Periodic Table - Mendeleev Focus By the end of the lesson your students will be able to: Identify how early versions of the periodic table were laid out. Describe how Mendeleev left gaps in his periodic table for undiscovered elements. Explain how Mendeleev’s predictions were proved correct. This resource is a PowerPoint presentation to support teaching about the history of the periodic table for the first time. By the end of the lesson, students should understand how Dmitri Mendeleev supported the development of the periodic table. Previous knowledge on what a group and period is will be required - apart from that no previous teaching is required. Included in the resource: Opening slide with title, keywords, learning objectives and lead on topics Starter slide with simple intro task Information slides on the works of Mendeleev - how he arranged elements, why he left gaps, how his predictions were proven etc. Printable worksheet slide to consolidate knowledge and organize learning Plenary question slide to summarise All ANSWERS included and the resource is completely EDITABLE.

Electrical Circuit Components and Symbols Activity

(1)
Included in the resource: 15 circuit component information sheets (2 per A4 sheet) Including component name, electrical circuit symbol and it’s role in an electrical circuit. Examples: fuse, switch, bulb, diode, thermistor, resistor, battery etc . . . A student information collection table Used to gather the information from the sheets in one place. Students are advised to fill in the table as far as they can, then use the information sheets for assistive learning. This resource is ideal for a student focused approach to teaching electrical circuit symbols. I print off the information sheets and stick them around the classroom. Students can then roam around with their collection tables and fill them in as they pass each information sheet or ‘collection point’. Practical, keeps the students engaged and no further preparation required. Just print!
