The lesson then covers the hydrolysis of polymers to return to the original monomers. The final part of the lesson is practice at working out the original monomer using a digram of the original polymer. The lesson includes lots of independent tasks I aim to reduce photocopying so all activities and answers are in the PowerPoint- a total of 42 slides

A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5 a and b of the OCR chemistry specification- chemical analysis using thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography. The lesson starts by recapping some of the analytical techniques introduced in year 12. The lesson then moves on to TLC chromatography and how this can be used. This includes some exam questions and independent tasks The lesson then moves on to looking at gas chromatography again using lots of independent tasks to support understanding I am to reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PPT (37 slides in total)
