Including atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, chemical symbols and formulae and naming compounds, this is a unique diagnostic tool to check understanding and produce a personal review sheet. It can be used after the module has been taught or as a review lesson prior to testing. What is Included 54 Question PowerPoint Answers PowerPoint Student answer sheet Fact Sheet Suggested Lesson Plan Students have some time to review the fact sheet either independently or with teacher. Students use the answer sheet to write down the answers to the questions on the Question PowerPoint Students check their answers against the answer PowerPoint On the fact sheets, students circle the numbers of the questions they got wrong on the answer sheet. This gives them a review list of facts to take away with them. Lots more resources at my shop? Elf Off the Shelf Resources

Prior Knowledge Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. Arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases. Properties of solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement of their particles. Change of state including sublimation. Pressure in gases and the effect of increasing the number of particles and temperature and decreasing volume. Diffusion What You Get 90 dominos Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play. Rules of the Game Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards. The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction. Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched. If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached. If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand. More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources

This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on the kinetic theory of matter which uses the particle model to explain change of state, gas pressure and diffusion. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn.

How to Play Highest score of dice starts Pupils take turns and work their way around the board following the instructions in the squares. Certain squares indicate that the pupil takes a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces. If a player thinks an answer given by an opponent is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces. In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but the teacher has a quick-check answer sheet. Prior Knowledge Required An acid is a substance which contains hydrogen, tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and has a pH between 0 and 6. A base is a substance which is the oxide or hydroxide of a metal, feels soapy, turns red litmus blue and has a pH between 8 and 14. Concentrated acids and bases are corrosive. Know that neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline. The pH of strong acids (0 – 2), weak acids (3 – 6), neutral substances (7), weak bases (8 – 11) and strong bases (12 – 14).
