A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about how salts can be made by reacting a metal oxide and base. Students will be able to name salts or determine the reactants that form them, balance equations regarding salts and for a high ability stretch use moles in order to calculate the needed masses of reactants to react completely. Progress checks are available following each success criteria Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Learning objective: Justify how specific salts can be synthesised with reference to amounts. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: Identify the products / reactants of an acid-base reaction. Describe how to balance equations. Explain why equations must be balanced. Powerpoint contains 21 slides. Some prior information is needed for understanding chemical formulae in the later parts of the lesson.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Recall what’s meant by a soluble substance. Describe how to prepare soluble and insoluble salts. Explain why only insoluble salts can be separated using filtration.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify 4 types of materials. Describe the properties of each of these materials. Explain why ceramics are not used in building tools.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify 3 elements from a single group. Identify 3 elements from a single period. Describe how elements are grouped. Explain why the periodic table is set out in the order that it is.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify metals and non-metals. Describe 2 properties of metals and non-metals. Explain why non-metals can harm the environment

A series of 3 lessons if needed summarising the reactions of metals with: Water, Oxygen and acids. Suitable for KS5 students (yrs 17-18)

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify what is meant by oxidation and reduction. Describe how halogens and metals react during displacement reactions. Explain why transitions metals can bond to many different atoms.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: •Identify the elements within periods 2 and 3. •Describe how periods 2 and 3 will react with Oxygen. •Explain the formula, state and structure of each element in period 2 and 3.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: •Identify the S, P and D blocks. •Describe what is meant by an ionisation energy. •Explain why the ionisation energy changes through groups and periods.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the trends in atomic radius across a period. Identify the trend in atomic radius down a group. Describe the trend in melting points across a period. Explain why this trend occurs by mentioning the types of bonding. Suitable for KS5 students (Yrs 17-18)

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the methods used to treat water. Describe the process of treating water. Explain why it is important to treat water.

Learning Objectives: To understand that distillation can be used to separate a liquid from the solids, which are dissolved in it. To explain how distillation occurs. To explain how Condenser works to distill a solvent from a solution.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the: Dalton, Thomson and Rutherford models of atoms. Describe how each of the models came about. Explain why Rutherford’s experiment proved that atoms are made mostly of empty space.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: •Identify the equipment needed to perform chromatography. •Describe how substances react to chromatography. •Explain why chromatography is used by the police.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the equipment needed for Crystallization and filtration. Describe the process of filtration and Crystallization. Justify the correct method to use given the situation.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Recall how many electrons each shell can hold. Describe the link between the electronic configuration diagram and written version. Explain the link between the outer electrons and the group the atom is in.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Use groups and periods to identify specific elements. Describe how elements are placed in the periodic table. Compare the older version which included gaps with the modern periodic table.
