Electroplating & Copper Purification GCSE Lesson (CC10a SC13c)

Electroplating & Copper Purification GCSE Lesson (CC10a SC13c)

(1)
This PowerPoint (containing a worksheet) will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Electroplating (Triple Science Only). It also contains slides that provide essential background for the Core Practical involving Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate (CC10a). The Core Practical prep can be taught separately but I find it fits better alongside electroplating for Triple Science classes. **Be aware: this lesson works best if you have access to Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Chemistry textbooks. It’s not essential; other resources can be used and all information needed for students to complete the worksheets is found in the slides. However, if textbooks are available, the worksheet can be completed as an independent learning task. ** Other GCSE lessons (including other lessons on Electrolysis) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

(1)
This full Lesson PowerPoint will allow to teach the Higher-only specification points on Electrolysis, focusing on oxidation and reduction at the anode and cathode in terms of loss and gain of electrons. The lesson also introduces the concept of half equations and provides practice at writing these. I deliver this lesson after first exploring the basic principles of electrolysis in my earlier lesson “Electrolysis (CC10a / SC10a)”. The resource is easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, HIGHER TIER ONLY.

Moles GCSE Lesson (SC9c CC9c)

(2)
These PowerPoints and worksheets will allow you to teach HIGHER TIER ONLY GCSE Chemistry content on Moles. This lesson introduces the concept of a mole in terms of Avogadro’s number, exemplifies how to calculate the number of moles from mass of a substance and vice versa, and shows how to use moles to calculate numbers of particles of a substance **There are two versions of this lesson and worksheet provided. One is aimed at Triple Science students only, as it includes coverage of concentrations in mol dm-3, which is something that Combined Science students do not need to learn ** Other lessons on Calculations involving Mass (including subsequent lessons on using moles) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.
Conservation of Mass in Reactions GCSE Lesson (SC9b CC9b)
OnSpecScienceOnSpecScience

Conservation of Mass in Reactions GCSE Lesson (SC9b CC9b)

(1)
This PowerPoint is designed to introduce the Law of Conservation of Mass, closed systems and looks at simple examples of conservation of mass in solutions and chemical reactions. This lesson is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is required learning for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers. Be aware: this resource covers the basics; it does not deal with more complex ideas linked to conservation of mass (e.g., reacting masses) as they are covered in a later lesson. As such, this content may take a whole lesson to cover with weaker students but will be completed very quickly with higher-ability / motivated students. Follow-up lessons on Calculations involving Mass are available from my shop individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.
