1) Typical task card review.

- 15 of the 25 Task Cards are provided in the below sample

- For typical review, you can simply distribute the Task Cards to your class for individual, group or whole class review

- The cue cards can be projected on the board for whole class review

- The cards work well as cue cards, test review, etc.

- A student worksheet as well as teacher answer key are provided

2) Task card review game - lots of fun!

- Students perform a scavenger hunt type activity in small groups

- The groups have to match their answers to certain words which spell out a quote

- Once the group has completed each Task Card and put together the quote, they are the winner

- A really exciting an engaging activity which gets your students out of their seats and moving around answering questions

- Great for Review

Topics include:

- naming and formula writing.

- writing and predicting chemical equations.

- types of reactions.

- word equations.

- balancing equations.

- conservation of mass.

- acids and bases.

- periodic table properties

- ions

- atoms

The Product includes the following NGSS:

• HS-PS1-1 - Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
• HS-PS1-2 - Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
• HS-PS1-3 - Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles.
• HS-PS1-4 - Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond energy.
• HS-PS1-5 - Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.

These NGSS standards involve developing models, planning investigations, and constructing explanations related to topics covered in the task cards like periodic trends, chemical bonding, and reaction rates - key concepts addressed in a high school chemistry course.
