KS3 ~ Year 8 ~ Extracting Metals
SWiftScienceSWiftScience

KS3 ~ Year 8 ~ Extracting Metals

(1)
This lesson is designed for the KS3 Year 8 Science course, specifically the C2 1.2 unit on ‘Metals & Other Materials’. For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. The first task is for pupils to research, either using their phones or using laptops, the dates at which different metals were discovered. Once they have found the dates and filled in their table, they should consider the link between the reactivity of the metal and when it was discovered. After a class discussion of their ideas, students are introduced the idea of a metal ore. The next task is for pupils to watch a video and answer questions on metal extraction, the answers to which are included in the PowerPoint presentation so students are able to self-assess their work. The next part of the lesson focuses on how metals can be extracted from their ores, firstly students will be shown the position of carbon within the reactivity series. They will then be told that any metal below carbon in the reactivity series is able to be extracted from its oxide by a reaction with carbon. The general word equation for this reaction is shown to students, they can make a note of this in their books. They will then be asked to write down the complete word equations for the reactions of copper, iron and zinc with carbon. The mark scheme for this is provided on the PowerPoint presentation for students to mark and correct their work once complete. Lastly, students need to be able to work out the amount of metal present in an ore. A worked example of this calculation is shown to students, they can make a note of the steps when approaching a question of this sort in their books. They will be then given a worksheet of questions to answer which requires students to calculate the masses of useful metal found in metal ores, as well as the waste. The mark scheme for this task is included in the PowerPoint so students can self or peer assess their work once it is complete. The plenary requires students to write a Whatsapp message to friends, explaining what they have learned this lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation.

This task is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Chemistry GCSE, particularly the ‘Chemical Reactions’ SoW. For more resources designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This activity is a revision activity for the 'Chemical Reactions’ SoW, students can either have a card each and the task can be completed as a card loop activity with the whole class. Alternatively, students could work in pairs and be given a set of the shuffled cards, they will then need to arrange the cards into the correct sequence so that the sentences make sense (as dominoes tiles). When students carry out this version of the activity I often have a prize for the students who complete the task in the fastest time! The solution for this activity is included so you can check their answers.
