A very clear powerpoint presentation showing the ‘arrows in boxes’ electronic sub shell filling order from hydrogen to krypton. My students find this very helpful and it is useful when printed as a handout. It also shows clearly the incomplete 4s subshell in chromium and copper.
This is a really fun crossword puzzle and is the perfect quick starter or plenary to any GCSE level atomic structure lesson.
The puzzle includes answers and covers the following key words:
Ion
Isotopes
Neutron
Negatively
Mass number
Atomic number
Electron
Proton
Nucleus
The file is a PowerPoint, so the puzzle can be easily printed or even projected on your interactive whiteboard for students to fill in. Since it is out of ten marks, you can quickly determine a percentage score for each student too.
This worksheet provides ten questions that help the students to practice their skills in balancing redox equations by adjusting coefficients and by adding OH-, H20, and H+ where necessary.
This worksheet is suitable for 'AS' - Level and IB Diploma Chemistry students. Syllabus reference: "Write ionic half-equations and use them to construct full ionic equations." (Edexcel 'AS' - Level Chemistry Specification, First Examinations 2014).
Full answers are provided in this package.
This is a perfect resource to use as a quick starter, plenary or homework. I have included both the pdf and docx files in this package.

This is a fun (and moderately challenging) crossword puzzle that would serve as an excellent starter, plenary or in-lesson activity for any periodic table class. This crossword tests students knowledge of:
Group number
Names of groups (e.g. The 'Halogens' are the group 7 elements)
Symbols (e.g. Ca is the symbol for calcium)
Properties (e.g. Potassium has similar properties to sodium because it is in the same group)
This is a lot of fun and my students loved it. If your kids have never learnt anything about the periodic table before, then you could provide the students with a periodic table to help them as they do the puzzle.
In this pack you get a PPTX (which you can edit), a pdf version and a png of the puzzle itself (in case you want to project it on your interactive whiteboard for students to fill in).
This is a fun (and moderately challenging) crossword puzzle that would serve as an excellent starter, plenary or in-lesson activity for any radioactivity and isotopes class. This crossword tests students’ knowledge of:
Isotopic/atomic structure
The difference between alpha, beta and gamma radiation
Knowledge of the isotopes of hydrogen (i.e. deuterium and tritium)
Radioactive decay and half-life
The use of Uranium-235 as an electricity generating fuel
This is a lot of fun and my students loved it. If your kids have never learnt anything about the radioactivity and isotopes before, then you could provide the students with a summary to help them as they do the puzzle.
