C3 topic 1: Water testing and Ion testing

Three lessons are included which run through:

Lesson 1 water testing: A reminder of Flame tests, and the introduction of cation precipitate tests.
-Students complete a six mark question and summary table to remind themselves of C2 ion tests.
-Students complete simple qualitative sodium hydroxide precipitate test with a number of metal cations in solution.

Lesson 2 Qalitative test revision book: A reminder of anions.
-Teacher could demo experiments from lesson 3 or explain using the PowerPoint slide
-Students complete a booklet to summarise all tests learnt.

Lesson 3: Students complete a circus of all experiments
-test for halogens
-test for sulfates
-test for carbonate
-flame test for cations
-precipitate test for cations

-Using these tests students solve a fictional (a ridiculous) murder.
