Reactivity of Metals (full lesson inc Practical) - KS3 Chemistry

This is a very simple KS3 Chemistry lesson to introduce the concept of reactivity and the reactivity series of metals.

Resource includes a very self explanatory powerpoint (including a technician list for ordering practical equipment), an introduction to the reactivity series plus a straight forward practical for students to deduce the order of reactivity of 4 metals to help fill in the gaps of the reactivity series they have been given. I have produced a practical hand out with a simple equipment list and method plus a pre-drawn table to help students get started straight away or feel free to get them designing their own if you wish. Finally students will need to write brief conclusions regarding their results and then move on to some higher order prediction making for other metals based on their results.

Download it, open it and it’s ready to go! (The only prep you’ll need to do is ordering your practical kit!)
