Stick to Science Chemical Nomenclature Cards offers a fun and visible way educators can introduce secondary school students to the chemical nomenclature. Ideal for educators and teacher candidates with a focus on Intermediate-Senior specializing in Science General and Chemistry, the kit contains all the chemical elements on magnetic cards that can be used in the classroom. The flash cards can be used for a number of classroom activities and lessons.
This kit includes an accompanying guide outlining tasks for the educator. Each one of the 144 magnetic cards are able to stick to all magnetic whiteboard and chalkboards providing a visible way to explore and illustrate concepts without the confusion of erasing. The kit also allows teachers to:
- Review element names and the periodic table’s families and period.
- Introduce the importance of valency by combining anions and cations.
- Explore combinations of elements to form compounds.
- Illustrate how to balance chemical equations. The four basic types of chemical reactions can also be illustrated as well!
