KS3 Activate - Acids and alkalis TOPIC

A full topic designed from the KS3 Activate curriculum from the “acids and alkalis” topic from Activate 1, Chemistry.
This bundle includes five full 1-hour lessons.

Each lesson is designed to be engaging and interactive, and contain plenty of guided demos and class practicals. All of the instructions are included as well as risk assessments.

The lessons should be taught in this order:

1. Acids and alkalis
2. Indicators
3. The pH scale
4. Neutralisation
5. Making salts

All of my lesson resources contain:

• A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter
• An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson
• Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load
• Teacher models
• Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes
• Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides
• A plenary task
