Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How do we read and write chemistry?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Each element has a chemical symbol.
  2. Some chemical symbols consist of two letters (as there are more than 26 elements). Chemical symbols start with a capital letter.
  3. Compounds have chemical formulae which show the elements in the compound.
  4. Compounds have chemical formulae with more than one capital letter in.
  5. Elements have chemical formulae with only one capital letter in.
  6. Students can identify the number of elements in a compound from its formulae.
  7. Students can identify the number of atoms in a compound from its formulae.
  8. Mixture 'formulae' have a plus sign in.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. How do we represent chemicals universally?
    chemical symbols and formulae for elements and compounds
  2. What rules apply to all chemical symbols?
    Some chemical symbols consist of two letters (as there are more than 26 elements). Chemical symbols start with a capital letter.
  3. What does the chemical formulae of a compound show?
    Compounds have chemical formulae which show the elements in the compound.
  4. How can you tell a compound from the formula of it?
    Compounds have chemical formulae with more than one capital letter in.
  5. How can you tell an element from the formula of it?
    Elements have chemical formulae with only one capital letter in.
  6. How can we identify the number of elements in a compound?
    We identify the number of elements in a compound by counting the number capital letters in the formulae.
  7. Identify the number of element and atoms in the following formulae: CO Co NaOH MgO MgSO4 CaCO3 CaCl What are the elements in the above formulae?
    CO 2 atoms, 2 elements. NaOH 4 atoms, 3 elements. MgO 2 atoms, 2 elements. MgSO4 6 atoms, 3 elements. CaCO3 5 atoms, 3 elements. CaCl 2 atoms, two elements. CO2 carbon and oxygen. NaOH sodium, oxygen and hydrogen. MgO magnesium and oxygen. MgSO4 magnesium, sulfur and oxygen. CaCO3 calcium, carbon and oxygen. CaCl calcium and chlorine.
  8. How can you represent a mixture in writing?
    Mixture formulae have a plus sign in.

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
