Group 1 metals

A stand alone lesson packet designed to be taught to my middle ability yr8 KS3 science class. Packet consists of a series of tasks that don’t require IT access but does need a qualified science teacher to demonstrate reactivity of Alkali Metals with water. The lesson format was designed for pupils who struggle with too much writing and can be printed individually so they can work at their own pace if necessary.
Lesson should take around 60 minutes to teach and begins with a Do Now or Settler task that requires basic knowledge of using the Periodic Table, a comprehension or literacy task, then a practical demonstration followed by a series of exam style questions and a plenary.
