Reaction of Acids with Metals, Bases and Carbonates Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Dominoes Game

A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on the reaction of acids with metals, bases and carbonates for middle school plus an enjoyable yet challenging dominoes game which students can either match or answer the question.

The teaching pack contains eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.

The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. It is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities in that it can be played by simply matching the pictures but presents a challenge for those who are able to match a picture with another which means the same.

• Acids contain hydrogen.
• A salt is formed when the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a metal.
