Chemical Bonding Revision Game

Chemical Bonding Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the chemical bonding unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around ionic, simple covalent, giant covalent and metallic bonding, with a selection of questions from each bonding type. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: Which types of elements undergo covalent bonding? Why do simple covalent substances have a low boiling point? Describe how positive and negative ions are held together Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF). The students can then cut out the pin wheel for themselves and push a pen or pencil through the middle for the wheel to spin around. I found clamp stands to be a useful alternative.
