GCSE Science Periodic Table Revision Activity
chalky1234567chalky1234567

GCSE Science Periodic Table Revision Activity

(0)
This is an activity that I have used with my Y11 students during their revision. It can be used in a number of ways. The general instructions of how to use it are: 1. Print off the power point slides (2 to a page works well) 2. Set up some tables and outline the shape of the periodic table 3. Put on the labels for the groups and the periods in the correct places 4. Write on a few elements 5. Give each student an element card which gives them a range of things they need to work out about the element as a starter 6. Ask the students to place their element where they think it should be 7. Use the question cards as a basis for a discussion about the periodic table (there are around 25 question cards so most students will be asked at least one thing. There is lots in the power point and it can easily be differentiated Thanks for looking
