Mole Calculations Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from ‘The Mole Concept’ unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around relative formula mass, moles and masses and volume and concentration calculations. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: What is the relative formula mass of water? How many grams of MgO are there in 0.5 moles? What is the concentration of 5dm3 of acid which is 10 moles? Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF). The students can then cut out the pin wheel for themselves and push a pen or pencil through the middle for the wheel to spin around. I found clamp stands to be a useful alternative.
