Check students’ understanding of how properties of substances depend on their structure and bonding using this lesson plan with activities for 16–18 year olds.

In this activity, students match cards that describe properties, structures, bonding and particles with particular substances. The card matching allows students to evaluate their own understanding, before sharing, defending and modifying their views through peer assessment.
