Graph plotting activity - looking at bpt and bpt's and intermolecular forces.

pupils work in groups of 4. 1st give them 4 cards with correct atomic structure, including electron shells and tell them to come up with rules. then give them 4 cards with incorrect atomic structure to test their rules. then they have to see if they need all the rules.... works a treat! please comment and rate if you use, thanks

PowerPoint/Lesson plan going through the structure of an atom. Aim is to understand how the periodic table can be used to calculate numbers of sub atomic particles in particular elements.
