There is a combination of practical based questions (practical points), bonus questions (bonus points) and higher tier questions (bold). All the treasure hunt slides can be adapted and created to other specifications including the NEW EDEXCEL specification. I have an additional treasure hunt/ points game available for the new EDEXCEL GCSE based on the content required the end of year exam
TOPIC 1: Atomic structure and the periodic table
TOPIC 2: Ionic compounds and Analysis
TOPIC 3: Covalent compounds and separation techniques
TOPIC 4: Groups and the periodic table
TOPIC 5: Chemical reactions
TOPIC 6: Quantitative chemistry
The resource is expensive due to the amount of work put in to this top quality resource and because of this the revision slides can even be printed out and used in the classroom as revision MATS. There are 23 slides of questions for all abilities (foundation and higher) covering the whole specification for this C2 exam. These are a really good revision resource and last a lifetime once laminated.
