This is a fully-resourced lesson about group 7 of the Periodic Table, the halogens, which includes a lesson presentation (34 slides) and a differentiated worksheet. The lesson begins by challenging students to recognise and explain why the electronic structure of group 1 and group 7 means that they react together easily. As the lesson progresses, students will learn more and more properties about the halogens and key terms such as diatomic are used throughout so that students become accustomed to these. Moving forwards, students will carry out a series of displacement reactions so that they can recognise that the reactivity of these elements decreases as they go down the group. Students are challeged to explain this with reference to electron configuration and a differentiated worksheet will help those who need assistance to access this work.
This lesson has been designed for GCSE students (14 - 16 year olds in the UK) but is suitable for younger students who might be carrying out a project on the Periodic Table

Excellent material as always. Thanks for sharing and for free
Thank you for sharing freely.
Amazing lesson, easy to follow very engaging. Full stars!!!! <br /> THANKS FOR SHARING ☺
This lesson is very well written and resourced, helped me to explain Halogens as a non-specialist.
Nice, easily adaptable - I used with Y8 top set.
