OCR Chemistry: Group 2 Elements & Compounds

2 Lesson bundle covering the OCR Periodic Table Chapter on group 2 elements and compounds

Lesson 1: Group 2 Elements

By the end of this lesson. Students should be able:

1. To know group 2 elements lose their outer shell s2 electrons to form +2 ions
2. To state and explain the trend in first and second ionisation energies of group 2 elements and how this links to their relative reactivities with oxygen, water and dilute acids
3. To construct half equations of redox reactions of group 2 elements with oxygen, water and dilute acids and to identify what species have been oxidised and reduced using oxidation numbers

Lesson 2: Group 2 Compounds.

By the end of this lesson students should be able:

1. To know the reaction between group 2 metal oxides and water
2. To state the trend in solubility and alkalinity of group 2 metal hydroxides
3. To describe the uses of some group 2 compounds including their equations

The teacher will be able to check students have met these learning objectives through mini AfL tasks for students to complete

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 assessed during the scenarios outlined above
