2 well structured chemistry lessons covering the Year 12 OCR topic of: **Organic Synthesis ** Lesson 1: Practical skills for organic synthesis To demonstrate knowledge, understanding and application of the use of Quickfit apparatus for distillation and heating under reflux To understand the techniques for preparation and purification of an organic liquid including: Lesson 2: Synthetic routes in organic synthesis To identify individual functional groups for an organic molecule containing several functional groups To predict the properties and reactions of an organic molecule containing several functional groups To create two-stage synthetic routes for preparing organic compounds Declaimer: Please refrain from purchasing this popular resource for an interview lesson or a formal observation. This is because planning your own lessons including using your own lesson PowerPoints is a fundamental skill of a qualified/unqualified teacher that will be reviewed during these scenarios outlined above
