Please note, that this resource is included in the lessons for chemical analysis that I have created, if you prefer to purchase whole lessons. Instructions included in the resource. Based on new specification for both AQA and Edexcel chemistry courses, but would work for other exam boards (specification references are included). The students use the correct colours for precipitates formed with chemical analysis tests, cut out the flaps and insert them into the correct spaces. Differentiated to three levels of difficulty. I thought it might be good for them to stick the completed resource on the inside of their chemistry book, although it is best printed on A4 for ease of manipulation on its creation. Could be used as a home work, in a revision or cover lesson.
