This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Chemistry GCSE, particularly the ‘Chemical calculations’ SoW and specifically designed for higher tier GCSE chemistry students. For more lessons 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 The lesson starts with students learning how to calculate the concentration of a solution in mols/dm3 when you know the mass of the solute in the solution. Students learn the steps necessary to complete this calculation, they can then complete a set of problems. This work can be self-assessed using the answers provided in the PowerPoint presentation. Students are then asked to discuss how they might work out the mass of a solute in a solution when they know the volume and concentration of a solution. After a short class discussion, the PowerPoint reveals four steps students should work their way through when approaching a problem such as this one. Students are then given two further problems to have a go at, they should show their working at each step of the calculation. Answers to the questions, as well as working out, is included in the PowerPoint presentation. Students are then given a worksheet, including a worked example of how to use a titration to calculate the concentration of a unknown substance. Using the worked example as a guide, students should attempt to answer the questions on the worksheet. For lower ability students it will be worth going through the worked example on the board first, those very able students should be able to use the worked example as a guide when answering the other questions Once this task has been completed students should self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided. The last task is a titration practical, their is a worksheet included in the PowerPoint for students to use as guide when completing the practical - including an aim, equipment list, method and results table. Once they have completed the investigation they should be able to use the balanced symbol equation to calculate the concentration of sulfuric acid used in this titration. The plenary task is for pupils to write down 3 key words, 2 facts and a question to test their peers on what they have learned today. All resources are included at the end of the presentation.

Once complete pupils can assess their work using the answers provided. The next part of the lesson focuses on electrolysis using ionic compounds, students are shown that only ionic compounds that are molten or dissolved in water are able to conduct electricity. The process of electrolysis is demonstrated to students using an animation . Pupils are then asked to thin > pair > share their ideas on why ionic compounds that are solid cannot conduct electricity. Once some ideas have been discuss as a class, the answer can be revealed on the PowerPoint presentation. Pupils will now complete the remainder of their questions on their place-mat and mark them using the answers provided. Pupils will now be given a set of ions and will need to decide whether they will be found at the positive or negative electrode, this activity can be done as a whole class by pupils holding up answers using whiteboards or in their books. Once completed students can assess their work using the answers provided.

Pupils are then asked to think > pair > share how the group number relates to the charge on the ions formed from that group. Using the PowerPoint presentation you can then demonstrate the link between group number and number of electrons lost/gained by a specific atom, students can use these rules to help work out the charges on ions formed. To assess their knowledge of this, pupils will be asked to copy and complete a table to identify the number of protons, electron, the electronic configuration of an atom and of the ion of that atom, as well as the ion’s charge. Pupils can self or peer assess their work using the answers provided in the PowerPoint presentation. The next part of the lesson is for pupils to consider the ionic bond formed in calcium chloride, students will first need to draw the electronic configuration of a calcium and chlorine atom and then looking at the structure try and work out how an ionic bond might form between them. Once pupils have had a go you can reveal the answers using the diagrams and descriptions provided in the PowerPoint presentation, for those pupils who were unable to work it out it may be best for them to copy down the diagram in their books. Pupils will now be asked to draw diagrams to demonstrate the ionic bonds formed between a set of elements - calcium and oxygen, potassium and chlorine, sodium and oxygen, magnesium and chlorine. Once complete they can assess and correct their work using the answers provided in the PowerPoint presentation.

The answers to which will be revealed so pupils can check their answers. To summarise what they have learnt so far pupils can complete a fill-in-the-blank task, then they will watch a video which will identify some of the properties of the different elements found in the halogen group. Once this work has been self-assessed pupils will then be shown what a displacement reaction is and will be given a worked example to demonstrate how it works. Once you feel confident that pupils have understood when a displacement reaction will take place they can complete some word equations to show the products of such reactions. This can then be marked and any misconceptions addressed. The plenary task is a true or false task which you could conduct as a class or ask pupils to complete in their books and then mark.

The reaction with alkali metals can then be modelled (practically you can show a demo of this) and pupils will need to be able to complete the word equation for this reaction, using a worked example of lithium and water pupils will need to fill int he word equations for other alkali metals. This work can be self-assessed. Pupils will then be given a set of information about the properties of alkali metals and about their reaction with oxygen and chlorine. Using this information pupils will need to complete questions, as well as compete work equations showing the reaction of various alkali metals with either oxygen or chlorine. Again, all answers to this work is provided so pupils can self or peer assess their work… The plenary task is a true or false task, which pupils could complete on their own at the back of their books.

Once pupils have assessed their work from the questions asked during the video pupils will each be given a card with the name of a noble gas and a description of the everyday uses of this gas. Pupils will be given 15 minutes to complete a table to identify the name and uses of each of the noble gases by walking around the room/talking to each other in groups. Pupils will then complete an assessment task where they will need to identify the name of the alkali metal, halogen or noble gas based on the description. This work can be self-assessed once complete. The final activity is for pupils to follow success criteria to produce a poster which outlines the information they learnt about Group 1, Group 7 and Group 0 elements.

Then pupils are played a video about the rules regarding electronic configuration, with which they should fill in a worksheet, either completing sentences or answering questions. Once this is finished pupils will self-assess their work. Next, the rules of how many electrons each shell can hold is demonstrate using diagrams, pupils are given examples to further consolidate this information. Next, pupils are given a table with different elements listed, they will need to identify the mass number, atomic number, draw and write out the electronic configuration for each element. This can be assessed once it has been completed. The next task is an extension of what has just been completed, pupils are given a worksheet where they need to fill in the electron shells for the first 20 elements as well as write out the electronic configuration. Again, pupils will be provided with the answers to mark this work. The final two activities focuses on the importance of how many electrons are in the outer shell of an atom of an element and what this means for the reactivity of this element.
