Develop learners’ sub-microscopic understanding by interpreting a range of models used to represent metallic structure and metal ions

Developing understanding is a series of resources that encourage learners to connect their thinking at the macroscopic, sub-microscopic and symbolic levels. In this metallic bonding worksheet learners think about different representations of metallic structure and metal ions and what those representations mean at the sub-microscopic level. Icons in the margin indicate which level of understanding each question is developing to help prompt learners in their thinking. As a result, learners should develop more secure mental models to support their understanding of this topic.
