Reaction of Acids with Metals, Bases and Carbonates Fully Resourced lesson Plus Board Game

A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on the reaction of acids with metals, bases and carbonates for KS3 plus an enjoyable and challenging board game for up to six players per set to consolidate learning.

The lesson 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.

What’s Covered

• Acids contain hydrogen.
• A salt is formed when the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a metal.
• Hydrochloric acid forms salts called chlorides
• Sulfuric acid forms salts called sulfates.
• Nitric acid forms salts called nitrates.
• metal + acid --> a salt + hydrogen
• base + acid --> a salt + water
• alkali + acid –>a salt + water
• carbonate + acid --> a salt + water + carbon dioxide
• The first part of a salt is the metal and the second comes from the acid.
• Writing word equations for reactions between acids and metals, bases and carbonates.
