I'm using this with my year 7's and 8's to help them learn their keywords. Start the slideshow and then just press S to stop on a slide on a learning method. I've included a second file in which the wording can be changed to adapt to any subject.

A quick keyword starter to ensure students know definitions of elements, compounds and electrons etc before moving onto ions and bonding

A summary of alkali metals properties and reaction

Foundation and higher versions of a starter for ionic bonding. Students complete the names and symbols for group 1,2 and 6,7. Higher tier can also add electronic configuration before moving onto ionic bonding
