Use this decision tree to help your learners find answers to questions about structure and bonding by scaffolding their thinking

A decision tree is a visual representation of the route you take to find an answer. It plans out thinking and breaks it down into a series of decisions to make. The decision tree is available as an editable PowerPoint file or pdf with guidance and links to more support.
