A revision mat to summarise the content within the KS3 activate 1 Chemistry - Elements, atoms and compounds. It includes questions and diagrams that are linked to the textbook pages and designed with the activate tests in mind. Useful for students to complete as independent revision in lesson or at home prior to the test. There are 3 versions to suit H,M,L students with the higher one focussed on helping students with grades 7+ reach their targets.
Designed for GCSE students starting to explore the basics of atomic structure, elements, and compounds.
Each worksheet uses engaging tasks and clear formatting to aid understanding. These resources are perfect for differentiation and are especially suited for low-ability classes.
Answers included
• Worksheet 1: The Atom
Students label a diagram of the atom, identifying protons, neutrons, and electrons while including their relative masses, charges, and locations. A table is provided for further reinforcement of these concepts.
• Worksheet 2: Atoms and Elements
A retrieval task focusing on the basics of atomic structure, including calculating the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons from atomic mass and number. It also includes a challenge question about the behavior of electrons in ions.
• Worksheet 3: Compounds
Retrieval activities on atoms and elements are extended to compounds. Students define compounds, distinguish them from elements, and identify compounds from a list of substances, explaining their reasoning.
