AQA GCSE chemistry - Unit 4 - Lesson7 Strong and Weak Acids and understanding pH

(0)
This is a lesson to teach strong and weak acids with an introduction to the meaning of pH. It has a ppt and worksheet in word and pdf format with answers to the worksheet as well. The meaning of strong acid in terms of complete ionisation of acid molecules in water The meaning of weak acid in terms of partial ionisation of acid molecules in water Comparison of the terms concentrated and dilute with strong and weak and an explanation of how a weak acid can still be concentrated and a strong acid could still be dilute. Grid to test understanding of key vocabulary in the ppt file. Meaning of pH in terms of the change in 10x each time you go down a pH unit - does not include logarithms it is described in an accessible way that allows students to calculate changes in concentration as pH unit changes. I write Professor Bunsen resources to teach and test in my own classroom. I hope that I manage to make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time!

This is a well resourced sequence that should cover three lessons on the reactions of acids with metals and making soluble salts. It includes worksheets for the first assessed practical for GCSE chemistry - making copper sulfate crystals and the principals of making soluble salts. Reactions of Acids PPT Making salts table of information to share with students Fact pack of key information to learn about acids and their reactions Differentiated simple sheet of questions for foundation level acids and salts Large revision mat style resource on making salts as an A3 grid Copper sulfate method that can be laminated and used during the practical Section 1 of the practical skills handbook - the making salts practical which includes questions to deepen students understanding of the practical to enable them to answer question on the examination papers which explore their understanding of the practical. I write Professor Bunsen resources to teach and test in my own classroom. I hope that I manage to make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time! The accompanying worksheet allows students to practice and for you to give feedback and help them to improve. Fully resourced with Powerpoints, worksheets and lesson activities and key facts and opportunities for improvement and redrafting throughout.
