Chemical pelmanism

Just been having fun with one of my pupils. She was having trouble with definitions of words like 'solute' so I just did a pack of cards with the terms on some and the definitions on others. Then we turned them all over and tried to pick up matching pairs.

We both had great fun with it. I think I may try something similar with properties of solids, gases and liquids next week. They might work as a lotto game.

I think that this is an excellent way to help people learn.

You need a full class for "element bingo"

I read that as 'greases and liquids' which sounds like another class altogether.

I DO like the icon.

Sounds like a plan. XD What age group/where do you teach?

I usually teach GCSE, but I do a few younger ones from time to time. This particular pupil is Key stage 3, so needs a lot more basic stuff.

I tutor from home. It means I don't have to drive (which is often a problem for me) and if I'm ill, it's easy to cancel lessons.

I have to thank kalypsov for that. She had it, and I fell in love and asked for it.
