Lesson features include: A 10 question starter quiz based on previous learning with animated answers (questions based on Topic 1, 2 and 3 to assist with long term memory retrieval) Slides discussing the difference between mass and moles together with an analogy of comparing the term moles to other words used to represent amounts in society - what is meant by a dozen, a century etc. A link to an engaging video comparing the number of atom to objects in our universe. Slides discussing the link between moles, mass and Mr alongside questions involving calculating the moles, mass and Mr of a substance. Students are shown how to rearrange the moles equation. Following this worked examples for calculating moles, mass and Mr are then shared on a split board with practice questions next to the worked examples for students to complete. Answers for these questions are animated to allow for student self-assessment. Slides guiding pupils on how to work out the missing mass of a substance using a balanced symbol equation. A method is shared with pupils to tackle these complex questions with 2 animated examples illustrating step-by-step how to follow the method. Numerous examples are then given for pupils to complete, initially using 1:1 ratios before looking at more complex ratios. All practice questions have full animated answers for student self-assessment A review task containing 6 questions on calculating missing masses in chemical reactions with animated answers A potential homework sheet with questions on calculating moles and rearranging the moles equation to calculate mass.

A lesson designed around the AQA GCSE specification looking at how to calculate relative formula mass and how to balance symbol equations. The lesson would also be suitable for an able KS3 class. The powerpoint features a lot of step-by-step worked examples and plenty of opportunity for student practice with questions that progress from simple to more complex examples alongside animated answers. Lesson features include: A 10 question starter quiz based on previous AQA GCSE learning with animated answers (questions based on Topic 1 atomic structure content to assist with long term memory retrieval) Slides explaining to students how to work out the number of different elements and atoms a chemical formula contains, followed by an independent task requiring students put this teaching into practice for a range of different chemical formulae. Answers have been included in the powerpoint to allow for student assessment. Slides guiding pupils on how to work out the relative formula mass of a substance, incorporating 3 worked examples that contain step-by-step instructions with each stage of the calculation animated via a mouse click. An independent task requiring students to calculate the relative formula mass for a range of different chemical formulae. Answers have been included in the powerpoint to allow for student assessment.
