Utilising the Periodic Table and Lewis theory in How science works
Issue 330 | Page 101 | Published Sep 2008
Description
As part of the new 'How science works' programme of study for key stage 4 (14-16 year-olds) taught in England and Wales, alternative layouts of the Periodic Table and alternative versions of the Lewis electron-dot theory should be considered in GCSE science lessons. Apart from encouraging critical thinking, many students might also find these alternative versions more useful in mastering the specification content.
