AQA GCSE 9-1 Neutralisation reactions and making a soluble salt required practical

A double lesson/ series of lessons looking at neutralisation reactions, writing ionic formulae and the process of making crystals of a soluble salt (AQA required practical)
Lesson features include:

A starter consisting of basic recall questions from previous learning (extraction of metals, reduction/ oxidation, properties of ionic compounds, covalent bonding diagrams, relative formula mass and moles)
Slides introducing the pH scale, weak/ strong acids and alkalis and the difference between an alkali and a base with AfL question (alongside an animated answer)
Slides with guided practice on how to name salts and writing ionic formulae for salts.
Slides and an acompanying worksheet providing plenty of practice on writing equations for metal and acid, acid and alkali and acid and metal carbonate reactions
A step by step explanation of the stages involved in making crystals of a soluble salt, including a table for pupils to fill in explaining the reason for each stage in the practical
Practice exam-style questions with scaffolded support. The questions focus on describing the method used to make a soluble salt and explaining errors in methods.
Simple, easy to follow instructions for carrying out the soluble salt practical
A worksheet containing exam-style questions. Answers are included with the sheet to enable assessment of pupil progress
Review questions with animated answers
