A colourful lesson with nat 5 on ionic bonding 🌈

We used skittles as electrons to model ionic bonding!

Their electron diagrams were a treat! 🍬

S1 were busy today setting some pitfall traps in the woods!

They made use of the natural and not so natural environment (🍜) around them to create some inventive traps!

Stay tuned to see what wonderful beasties we uncover! 🪱🪰🦟🕷
