KS Activate: Material Everyday- Extracting metals from their ores

2
Extracting metals from their ores
metal, ore, reactivity, displacement & carbon

ALL recall the reactivity series and identify which elements are less reactive than carbon
MOST extract iron and copper
SOME explain why carbon is used for extraction of metals from ores S: what is todays lesson about?

I: Periodic table and reactivity series recap

M:
A1: Displacement reactions

A2: Where do we get metals from? Show video about history of copper and malachite, introduce pupils to the common ores Haematite, Malachite and Bauxite.
A3: displacement of less reactive metals using carbon
PRACTICAL

P: Which picture best matches what you have learnt today and why.
