Thank you guys for your ideas. I like the idea of role plays and the card game which I didn't think of! Mints in coke - well all kids love that one - that is sure to work all the time to keep up excitment and motivation. Cheers, and take care, Jules

Thanks guys for your input - it gave me some good tips and ideas. Cheers, Jules

Hey it's Jules, I am a secondary science school science teacher and love making my classes exciting and interesting. Boring, mundane teachers quite upset me as I believe it imerative students learn to love all aspects of science. Has anyone got any good ideas for group or co-operative learning activities relating to chemistry - eg bonding, cations, anions, acids and bases - pretty basic stuff (ideas other than the usal lab experiemnts would be hugely appreciated). Cheers, Jules

Hi There, I am new to this discussion site but have enjoyed reading questions and answers for a while now. I am a secondary science teacher and am interested in opinions on the best way to educate and explain what isotopes are. Year 10's are intelligent and pick up very qickly. I find it hard not to cause confusion in the topic??? Cheers, Julies
