Atomic Structure and Bonding Task Cards

(0)
Atomic Structure and Bonding Definitions Task Cards This resource includes 2 packs of task cards (20 task cards in each). Both sets include the same keywords and each require students to define the keywords. There are 4 task cards per side of A4. Simply print and give to your students. No further prep is required. Lower ability set: This set has ‘power words’ included which are three related words that students must use in their definitions. This provides students with a writing framework to help them build their definitions. Higher ability set: This set does not include power words and relies of students accessing their own knowledge of atomic structure and bonding to write definitions.

Atomic Structure Bunting Classroom Display

(1)
ATOMIC STRUCTURE BUNTING Included in this resource: 20 bunting triangles - 1 triangle for each of the first 20 elements in the periodic table (hydrogen to calcium included). Students must use a period table to help them fill in the numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons. They can then add the electrons to the correct electron shells. When I have used this previously, I have given each student a triangle to complete independently. They have then cut out their triangle and connected it to the class bunting chain. This makes for a collaborative group activity, resulting in a bold bunting classroom decoration which students can be really proud of. The document is print ready and saved in an A4 format. The document is black and white due to printing purposes, so you may choose to print on colored paper to give a nice effect when it is hung up in your classroom.
