SS1 (revision of CI 9.1)	Lesley Johnston Tadcaster Grammar School	To play Connect 4 oxidation states, you need the grid on paper and also the questions on cards (cut up). This is much loved by Y13 who like to play to stop their opponents gaining a line of 4. It generates a lot of discussion. Based on an idea from ALPS. New for the 3rd edition.
SS1 (revision of CI 9.1)	Lesley Johnston Tadcaster Grammar school	This answers without questions will allow you to gauge students’ understanding of formulae of ions and oxidation numbers. One student in a pair writes the questions for the top part of the sheet and the other for the bottom part. They then ask each other their questions and see if they come up with a valid answer. I would quickly go over this. Include how charge relates to group and ions to learn.
SS1 (Storylines)	Lesley Johnston Tadcaster Grammar School	Students will have read SL SS1 for homework. This can be used as a starter. Students write the correct text above each line having been told that all the vowels have been replaced by the letter x. New for the 3rd edition.

SS3 (CI 9.3)	Lesley Johnston Tadcaster Grammar School	These two documents are based on an idea from a course called Active Assessment and consider the feasibility of reactions. Students worked in 2/3s and were given the word document and the words/phrases on cards. It did generate a lot of discussion. Students were asked to put their sentences on OHP transparency strips so the whole class could look at them after small group discussion. It led to consideration of what the ideal answer might look like and the careful use of scientific terminology. Still relevant for the 3rd edition.
SS3 (CI 9.3)	Lesley Johnston Tadcaster Grammar School	In this plenary PowerPoint, students are invited to choose a number and then asked the question. Based on a template from the Secondary National Strategy. New for the 3rd edition.
