Electrolysis REVISION (GCSE)

This is an engaging revision lesson which uses a range of exam questions, understanding checks, quick differentiated tasks and quiz competitions to allow students to assess their knowledge of the topic of electrolysis. This is a topic which is almost guaranteed to be on the GCSE paper every year and therefore a student’s ability to achieve good marks on this topic will have a big impact on their overall success. The lesson looks at the electrolysis of both molten salts and aqueous solutions and guides students through predicting the products at each of the electrodes as well as writing half equations to represent these reactions. Students will enjoy the range of activities including quiz rounds such as “Have you got the SOLUTION” whilst crucially being able to recognise the finer details of this topic which require their further attention before an end of topic assessment or the terminal GCSE exams.
