Develop understanding of reactants and products at different conceptual levels using an iron and sulfur reaction as an example
Develop learners’ thinking in the context of the formation of iron sulfide from elemental iron and sulfur at three different conceptual levels: macroscopic, sub-microscopic and symbolic.
This resource is made up of a single-page Johnstone’s triangle worksheet, which helps learners to think about the properties of iron, sulfur and iron sulfide and the diagrams and symbols we use to represent them.
