Drag the electronic configuration to the element, if it is correct it sticks, but not if it’s wrong. Useful as a quick AFL around the board. Helps students to quickly see patterns in the structure of the atom. Double click on the html file. No flash plugin required. I suggest you zoom out in the browser view to assist solving.

Drag the structure to the name and drop… If it is correct it sticks. Useful around the whiteboard for AFL. Simply open the html file. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop resources are mini-web sites local to your computer. After unzipping, they comprise a folder containing the main .html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the .html file and the resource will work. If, however , you move or delete any of the files from this hierarchy, the resource will not work.

An introductory sheet of answers, followed by cut and stick exercise for this challenging mechanism. Cut and stick promotes familiarity with the mechanism, promotes discussion when done in groups, and is enjoyed immensely by sixth formers.
