This is an activity that I have used with my Y11 students during their revision. It can be used in a number of ways. The general instructions of how to use it are:
1. Print off the power point slides (2 to a page works well)
2. Set up some tables and outline the shape of the periodic table
3. Put on the labels for the groups and the periods in the correct places
4. Write on a few elements
5. Give each student an element card which gives them a range of things they need to work out about the element as a starter
6. Ask the students to place their element where they think it should be
7. Use the question cards as a basis for a discussion about the periodic table (there are around 25 question cards so most students will be asked at least one thing.
There is lots in the power point and it can easily be differentiated

This originally was a resource designed to be used over 3 lessons to prepare students to take the 2015 P3 exam as a mock. The lessons are based around a series of activities designed to engage students rather than reteaching them the content. For each activity there is a short tick list of what students need to know to help them identify where they still need to revise. The activities include:
X-ray & ultra sound battle ships
Electromagnetic induction micro-teaching
The eye snakes & ladders
CT scanner question matrix
Refractive index card sort
Pendulum data analysis activity
Hydraulic question race
Transformers 7 monkey activity
