NEW KS3 ~ Year 7 ~ Neutralisation

This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 C4 ’Acids & Alkalis’.

For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience.

This lesson begins with a recap on the pH scale, students are given some information about the pH scale and will need to answer a set of questions using this information.

Next, students will be given a table of information about the pH of different substances, using this they will need to sort the substances into two groups in their books - acids or alkalis. This task can be self-assessed using the mark scheme once completed.

Students will now conduct an investigation to determine what happens when an acid is mixed with an alkali. Students will follow the method provided on the PowerPoint, using this they should observe the universal indicator changing from red to green as a neutralisation reaction occurs. Students can then use the information provided on the PowerPoint to take notes on this topic.

Next, students will watch a video on pH, they will need to answer a set of questions whilst watching the video. This activity can be self-assessed once complete, using the mark scheme provided.

Lastly, students are provided with a set of information on the uses of neutralisation reactions. Students should read the information and then summarise what they have learned in three sentences.

The plenary task requires students to write a twitter message to tell other people what they have learned this lesson, including #keywords!

All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
