Decide which illustrations accurately show the relationships between positively and negatively charged electrons.
Students are provided with a set of cards showing different combinations of possible interactions between positively and negatively charged electrons. Students sort the cards to show which cards are the most accurate and which are inaccurate, then rework the inaccurate diagrams to make them accurate.
Handout of Charge cards and scissors or already cut up set of cards, one set of 12 cards per pair of students
