A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5c of the OCR specification - testing for functional groups and PAG7.3
The lesson starts with reminders of the tests for the main functional groups in the OCR specification. Each one is set out with the same structure- first giving an opportunity for recall before revealing the answer.
The lesson then introduces PAG7.3 (you will need to download the full details off the OCR interchange).
After the practical there are a series of activities allowing students to apply what they have learned about the tests. These can be done individually or as a class.
I am to actively reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PowerPoint (29 slides in total)
