AQA 9-1 Topic 1 Chemistry - development of the periodic table and separating methods

A double lesson looking at the role of Newlands and Mendeleev in the development of the periodic table, comparing early versions of the periodic table to the modern periodic table and explaining how the separating techniques of filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatography work.
Lots of content in the lesson, including:

The lesson features:

• A starter consisting of 10 basic recall questions from previous learning with animated answers (labelling the plum pudding model, electron configurations, isotopes, what the mass number tells you about an atom, displacement reactions, group 1 reactions with water, periodic table arrangement, atomic structure)
• A printable sheet for students to make notes on comparing the 3 versions of the periodic table
• Summary notes for the periodic tables created by Newlands and Mendeleev
• A link to a video explaining how Mendeleev organised the elements in his periodic table
• A series of exam style questions and animated answers testing students understanding of the different periodic tables
• Slides explaining how the separation techniques of filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatography work and accompanying worksheet for students to fill in (this could be done as a carousel activity)
• Summary questions asking students to name the technique most suitable to separate a variety of mixtures
