Atomic Knowledge

Powerpoint slides introducing the atom to key stage 3/6th and 7th grade students studying chemistry. Simple, easy to understand, especially for lower ability students. Can be used as a powerpoint at the beginning of the lesson, or as handouts for the students to take home or follow in class.

A fact sheet explaining the difference between series and parallel circuits. Colour coded diagrams explaining how the current and potential difference is in a series and a parallel circuit.

An easy handout for a 5 minute task at the beginning of a lesson regarding animal and plant cells and organelle. A "match the description to the organelle" task, with an added bonus question for students to complete.

A fact sheet listing the periodic table symbol, quantity of protons, neutrons and electrons in Group 1 (alkaline metals), Group 7 (the halogens) and Group 0 (the noble gases) of the periodic table. Also described is how the reactivity, relative atomic masses and melting/boiling points change within the group. Helpful for any chemistry students struggling to remember the characteristics of Group 1, 7 and 0.
