This is animation I use to explain metallic bonding and to show the ‘delocalised electrons’. You are able to change the colours or size of the animation and input this into your lesson/powerpoint. I created this myself, using animation on powerpoint - hope it helps you explain metallic bonding! :)

**This is a quick game to play with your students to test them in a fun way! It can be used for KS3 & KS4. The RULES Give students a card between two and a piece of paper Set a timer- however long you think they will need In that time ask them to answer each question At the end ask any students what answer they got, if anyone of their peers got similar ask them to raise their hand. Keep a note of each answer and the number students who raised their hands. The students who had the most popular answer the most popular DON’T receive a point! The point of this activity is to try and help students think outside the box, using their understanding. Rather than memorisation

This word search would be perfect for an icebreaker, starter and plenary activity! It can be used individually or in groups or the whole class! It’s based off of the periodic table so students may need access to one to be able to answer it. They will need to find the names for the symbols. This could also be used for students that finish other activities Early, so they can get on with some more work instead of distracting others. The answers are included!

Online Activity I’ve designed this activity purposely to be used for remote/online learning. The students will be able to drag and drop the electrons, protons and neutrons to the correct areas, without interfering with the diagram itself or title etc. You can use this activity in anyway you choose, emailing it out to each student individually or doing it during an online synchronous session. Drag and Drop activity involving the periodic table, there is 1 to 4 orbitals shown. Students will be able to choose any to do or you can edit the slides to suit you.

Students will be required to answer the questions and find them answers in the wordsearch!
