I loved this one, went up along the ceiling of my lab for a good year after advent

Metallic first along with the formation of metallic ions. Then ionic which has a lower cog load as students already get the electrons being lost. Finish with covalent.

Physics teachers. A few years ago Keith Stansbie created a massive SLOP database for GCSE. It is in the form of xl files. There are literally over a 1000 Qs here on most topics. Instructions can be found in a doc file within. Pls RT if useful

I still got the points though

Good luck with that. We have pushed it to the very end of taught chemistry. I do love the cobalt chloride demos though.

Equilibrium

Love their energy stuff. I do wish they were editable though.

Rocks and earth science, done in geography and not needed later in science, difficult to engage students. #chatchemistry

Ah but intermolecular forces only works if you have small covalent molecules. If you just call it attractive forces then it can be built on when we heat a metal/ ionic substance.

Go out to the monastery and visit the original pastel de nata shop. Also LX factory, an art/ food place which also has live music. If you want to ride the famous tramline do it in the evening and you won't have to queue.

Solid and liquid should obey the laws of gravity.

I use them in science all the time, great for diagrams which students need to practice. Starter questions and short answers in the lesson. Also planning longer answers, working out balancing equations. Also the tables themselves with a whiteboard pen, great for write what you know, others add bits
