Three worksheets to use. Split class into groups of three and label each member 'what', 'how' and 'why'. Then send members off to expert groups where they can access the worksheets and learn their specialism. Each member to then report back on what, how(pH) or why (eqb) to their original groups.

A task that will allow you to differentiate between able and weaker students at the start of Y12. Half the class are dates (able), the other half are daters (less able). The dates help the daters through a series of calculations. The dates are then scored on how well they explained the application of the dating rules (calculation rules for empirical/molecular formula).
