This GCSE chemistry lesson forms the first lesson in 4.7 organic chemistry in the updated 2016 specification for the exam board AQA. It can also be used with other GCSE exam boards. The lesson starts with students considering whether they agree or disagree with 3 statements about the future use of petrol. The students are then introduced to how crude oil is made and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using crude oil. The students could cut the statements out and sort them or colour code them. The final task is where students calculate the temperature increase of water when it is heated by different fuels using data that is provided. More able students are given a formula that is used to calculate the energy increase in Joules then divide by the number of grams of fuel used to calculate the energy increase in Joules per gram.
