Flame test colours
Flame test colours as a reference table, one row per metal ion, ready for the board in one click. It sits beside the other tests for ions in the science table builder, so the class can compare them.
A hand-built replica of the real builder page, not a screenshot. Every control shown exists in the product.
Part of the Science table family. See Bond energies table, Tests for gases and Tests for negative ions pages to explore further.
Why this works in Chemistry
The two that get confused are the reds, lithium crimson and calcium orange red, and pupils see the words far more often than the flames. Side by side on the board is what fixes the distinction. Clear the colour cells and the same table becomes a recall task before you show the full set.
Exam boards word two of these differently, and a pupil marked against the wrong wording loses a mark for knowing the chemistry. The builder keeps the standard set and says so under the picker, so the table on the board matches the mark scheme your class will meet.
