Graphene is a relatively new and exciting substance that students need to know about. This resource can be used as a simple worksheet where the students cut and paste the answer in the correct place. In differentiated classrooms it can be used with small groups. Puzzles are particularly effective for kinaesthetic learners. Active activities are engaging for students who do not like writing such as students with dyslexia. Students can work alone or in groups. Group work where students speak and suggest the correct answer if beneficial to learning as it helps internalise scientific and technical vocabulary which helps students to remember the facts.
It is part of a growing series of resources on graphene:
