About this resource

These Knowledge check worksheets provide a series of questions to assess learners’ knowledge and understanding of atomic structure at the end of a period of teaching or as revision.

They are available at foundation and higher level and as fully-editable versions so you can adapt them to suit learners’ needs. Use for individual student work in class or at home. 

Content includes:

  • sub-atomic particles
  • atomic number and mass number
  • comparing different isotopes
  • representing atoms with symbols
  • history of the model of the atom (higher only).

Also available to assess this topic

Stretch and challenge: take learners beyond the curriculum by considering atomic structure in the context of the Sun, tackling topics such as isotopes of hydrogen, fusion reactions and forming heavier elements. 

Structure strip: support learners to retrieve information on the model of the atom and subatomic particles with a structure strip which helps to scaffold independent writing.
