GCSE CHEMISTRY REQUIRED PRACTICAL: Making Salts

AQA GCSE Chemistry: Chemical Changes

6 Well Structured Lessons + BONUS Required Practical Lesson on Making Salts from the AQA Specification on Chemical Changes. This bundle is suitable for students studying GCSE Chemistry or Higher Tier Combined Science The Following Lessons are included Lesson 1: Reactivity Series and Metal Extraction 1) Deduce an order of reactivity of metals based on experimental results 2) Explain reduction and oxidation by loss or gain of oxygen 3) Explain how the reactivity is related to the tendency of the metal to form its positive ion Lesson 2: Oxidation and Reduction (in terms of electrons) 1) write full ionic equations for displacement reactions 2) Write half equations for displacement reactions 3) identify in a half equation which species are oxidised or reduced Lesson 3: Reactions of Metals and Acid 1) Describe how to make salts from metals and acids 2) Construct word equations from metal and acid reactions 3) Write full balanced symbol equations for making salts Lesson 4: Metal Oxides 1) Identity that metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides 2) Explain reduction and oxidation by loss or gain of oxygen 3) Identify metal oxides as bases or alkalis Lesson 5: pH and Neutralisation 1) State the ionic equation involved in neutralisation reactions 2) Describe the use of a universal indicator to measure pH changes 3) Compare acid strength and concentration Lesson 6: Electrolysis of Ionic Compound 1) Know what electrolysis is and to state its uses 2) Explain how electrolysis works 3) Predict the reactions that occur at each electrode ***Declaimer: Please refrain from purchasing this popular resource for an interview lesson or a formal observation. 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***
