The resource consists of thirty-five
colour cards, including a 'Categories'
card to explain the information given
in each section of the cards.
The following information is provided
for each element:
- Description
- Symbol
- Atomic mass
- Atomic number
- Discovery date
- Melting point
- Boiling point
- Density
The cards can be used to play a Top
Trumps style game. Pupils take it
in turn to nominate a category in
which their card scores highly. If
their value beats their opponent's,
they win the card. This continues
for each successive card until one
player has won all the cards and hence
the game. In some cases a category
is not applicable for a card. The
player should then select a different
category.
- For more lively revision.
- As an introduction or summary
activity for atomic structure.
- As a stimulus for individual pupil
research topics.
- Pupils could produce their own
card. Send them to us and we will
award a prize for the best one received
and put it on the final CD ROM in
the series.
