Instructional Ideas

• After completing the cards, have learners cut them out and use them as flash cards to study for an element exam
• Laminate before cutting out, and keep a complete set on hand for pupils to use during in-class review sessions

Pros

• Can be used for a unique activity to reinforce properties of common elements
• A strong support for Next Generation Science Standard HS-PS1-1

Cons

• Although it is not a deal-breaker, the line for boiling point is right up against the edge of its box resulting in less-attractive formatting
