A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about the reactions of alkali metals and water (specifically group 1). Learners will be able to explain the reactivity with regards to shielding.
Learning objective: Explain the reactivity of group 1 metals with water and justify the reason for this reactivity.
By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
Success criteria:
Identify the products produced when metal and water react.
Describe the order of reactivity in group 1 metals.
Explain the dangers of Potassium, Rubidium and Caesium.
Powerpoint contains 45 slides (some slide-by-slide animations)
A simple and fun competitive snap game using scientific terminology matched with pictures.
PPT can be presented to the entire class for a whole class session, or can be printed and cut for team games - there will always be a snap between 2 cards but the students need to find and identify the correct scientific key word. The students who calls out the key word first wins the round.
Key words included are:
Units, DNA, Bunsen burner, Tripod, Beaker, Gauze, Heat mat, Measuring cylinder, Safety glasses, Repeatability, Dissolving, Melt, Solidify, Evaporate, forceps, solid, Liquid, gas, reaction, reproductive system, microscope, pH, Periodic table, pipette, carbohydrate, fat, protein, test tube, lab coat, kinetic energy, sound energy, gravitational potential energy, atom, thermometer, cell, digestive, system, Electrical energy, circulatory system, electron, respiratory system, nervous system, litmus paper, skeleton, photosynthesis, light energy.
Excellent as a settling activity or starter / interim activity.

A collection of revision resources for Pearsons combined science 9-1 edexcel specification: Chemistry paper 5. Sometimes referred to as Chemistry paper 2.
The resources were originally produced on google slides, therefore, please open them using google slides in order to avoid alignment issues on powerpoint.
Included in this collection are:
Blank revision posters for the students to fill and consolidate their knowledge.
Answer keys for the revision posters
Topics covered are:
Section 14 - Groups in the Periodic Table
Section 15 - Rates of Reaction & Energy Changes
Section 16 - Fuels & Earth Science
The entire resource contains 7 slides.
