A complete, ready-to-teach lesson for Unit 3 (Science Investigation Skills): energy per gram and per mole, and judging a fuel beyond its energy.
Learning objectives:
• Calculate energy released per mole as well as per gram.
• Explain the trend in energy content across a homologous series.
• Compare fuels using more than one measure.
• Evaluate a fuel against practical and environmental criteria.
What’s included:
• Lab version: method, apparatus list and a blank results table, to run in the laboratory
• Desk version: the same lesson with a full set of realistic results supplied, so no lab time is needed
• Student and teacher versions of both, in PDF and editable Word (8 files in total)
• Teacher notes: lesson flow, common misconceptions and practical/safety notes
• Retrieval starter (5 marks)
• Structured tasks with key-idea boxes, data tables and printed graph grids
• Check for Understanding quiz (10 marks) with a confidence self-assessment
• Written-task practice (15 marks) based on an investigation scenario, ending with a levels-marked 6-mark question with indicative content
Specification coverage:
• G · Energy content of fuels: comparing fuels using energy released per gram and per mole, and evaluating fuels against practical and environmental criteria.
About 60 minutes of teaching; the written-task section works in class or as homework. All questions are original.
Safety note: the lab version includes practical guidance, but it is not a substitute for your own school or CLEAPSS risk assessment.
