ResourceTrends in reactivity in the periodic table
This could be used to follow up some work on the periodic table where the trends in reactivity in groups 1 and 7 have been identified. It can be used as a differentiated activity for the more able students within a group.
-
ResourceElemental Su Doku
This activity helps students gain a familiarity with the periodic table by getting them to continually refer to it in a problem solving activity.
-
ResourceNoble gases
The activity sets some critical thinking and pattern spotting tasks in the context of the noble gases. This can be used to develop skills in determining mathematical relationships between variables from graphs.
-
ResourceCarbon - the element with several identities
The student worksheet includes information about Sir Harry Kroto, one of the team who discovered the third allotrope of carbon, buckminsterfullerene.
-
ResourceThe atom detectives
This resource presents chemists as real people and not stereotypical ‘mad scientists’ whose lives are completely dominated by science.
