What exactly is a mole? How can we convert between masses and moles? How do we deal with diatomic molecules? Converting between mass and moles in compounds Calculating the % by mass of an element in a compound Balancing Equations Reacting Masses Limiting Reagents Moles in Gases Moles in Solutions Titrations Practical – What is the concentration of sodium hydroxide? I also have another scheme of work where this booklet has been altered slightly for the iGCSE Triple Chemistry moles unit.

This lesson was planned as a stand alone investigation lesson for KS3, designed to allow students to work on their practical skills. When observed it got an ´Outstanding´ (for what it is worth), and I have attached the lesson plan. It involves a ´poisoning´ scenario where students are asked to identify an unknown powder used to poison someone. Students are asked to choose the equipment that they will use, test some named powders and use this to identify the unknown powder. They are then asked to write a letter to a detective (using a level ladder as a guide) explaining how they identified a poison. They should then peer assess against the level ladder.

This scheme of work was planned as part of the iGCSE course, but could be used for other courses. It includes PowerPoints, activities, experiments, homework and formative assessment resources. The topics covered are: - Elements, compounds and mixtures - Atomic Structure - Isotopes - Ionic and Covalent Bonding - Conservation of Mass and Balancing Equations
