This is a fun (and moderately challenging) crossword puzzle that would serve as an excellent starter, plenary or in-lesson activity for any class about elements, compounds and isotopes. This crossword tests students’ knowledge of: 1. The differences between elements and compounds in terms of physical structure, ease of separation and reactivity 2. Groups and periods in the periodic table, and how they relate to valence electron and shell number 3. The atomic definition of isotopes This is a lot of fun and your kids will love it. If your students have never learnt anything about elements, compounds and isotopes before, then you could provide the students with a summary 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).
