This resource explains how to write the electronic configuration of the first 36 elements in terms of their shells, sub shell and orbitals. It covers the AQA syllabus, but can be used with others. It contains a 30+ page Power Point which explains how electrons fill up the lowest energy levels first, how electrons prefer to stay unpaired and the rather tricky transition metal 4s/3d energy levels. It explains how to write the configuration for neutral atoms as well as ions and contains a page of questions, based around exam questions from AQA. Questions have comments from the examiners report to say how difficult students in the exam found this type of question. It also contains: Periodic Table with all configurations Student sheet with diagrams on for students to add notes to (or cut out and stick in diagrams) Help sheet to practice configuration Question sheet with answers provided on the Power Point Homework/Extra Questions sheet to challenge the most able An animated slide that shows all 36 configurations on an energy level diagram and position on the Periodic table.

Update: I have improved the graphics on this since it was made a few years ago. This powerpoint is aimed at KS4 (and higher ability KS3) and helps students to understand what is happening to the ions in solution. It shows sodium ions and chloride ions moving to the electrodes, gaining and losing electrons to become atoms and explaining reduction and oxidation.

This resource is a complete CPD for staff in science departments. It has everything you need, so that the staff are able to plan effective misconception lessons. This is where misconceptions are exposed, challenged and hopefully overcome. If contains: 27 page ppt to lead the training Misconceptions sorted into Topics and Key stages (so they can easily be inserted into SoW) Full overcoming Forces Misconceptions Lesson (worth £2) Seven activites for Teachers (interactive or participatory) Numerous examples of how activities can be incorporated into lessons or lessons adapted to obtain and challenge expectations. An editable Word version of one of my most downloaded resources (Misconceptions Booklet) so that parts of it can be taken out and used for training. If you’re looking for a Teacher only Toolkit (it’s basically all the resources here minus the CPD activities) click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/misconceptions-teacher-toolkit-resource-12447706 Please comment if you have found this useful Thank you.

This is a helpsheet that uses the circle/ring the formula method to stop students from the misconception of changing the subscripted formula. Students can use this to help them answer questions until they don’t need this scaffolding. There are a lot of balancing equation question sheets, but not many free methods. Hope this is useful.
