Chemistry jigaws: key stage 3
Chemical jigsaws offer a highly effective method of teaching chemical formulae and equations. Each jigsaw uses a number of interlocking pieces with plus signs and arrows that enable students to build representations of covalent and ionic compounds and also to model equations. Classroom trials show that using the jigsaw kits creates a number of advantages over more traditional approaches to teaching and learning: more effective understanding of formulae enhanced motivation use of OHP for demonstrations.
