Support your students to learn the definitions they need for all the year 1 and AS topics in the new specification A-level chemistry!
Each powerpoint activity sheet contains a mind map for each of the topics covered and a glossary of words to cut out.
Students use the first mind map for reference and then cut out and stick the definitions on the second mind map. You could completely remove the words on the second mind map and encourage students to arrange the glossary themselves to make the activity more challenging.
