Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are condensation polymers?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. When these types of monomers react they join together, usually losing small molecules such as water, and so the reactions are called condensation reactions. Use models to represent condensation polymerisation.
  2. The simplest polymers are produced from two different monomers with two of the same functional groups on each monomer.
  3. Students should be able to explain the basic principles of condensation polymerisation by reference to the functional groups in the monomers and the repeating units in the polymers.
  4. Condensation polymerisation involves monomers with two functional groups.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Monomer: The smallest unit of a polymer. (1)
  • Polymers: Produced when monomers react. (1)
  • Condensation reaction: Losing water during a reaction. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. (Chem only) What occurs during a condensation polymersiation reaction?
    When monomers with two functional groups react they join together, usually losing small molecules such as water, and so the reactions are called condensation reactions.
  2. (Chem only) How many functional groups does each monomer have in the simplest condensation polymerisation reactions?
    The simplest polymers are produced from two different monomers with two of the same functional groups on each monomer.
  3. (Chem only) What are the basic principles of condensation polymersiation? (refer to functional groups and repeating units in your answer)
    The basic principles of condensation polymerisation are that each monomer has two functional groups and the repeat units are made up of at least two different monomers in alternating sequence
  4. (Chem only) When does condensation polymerisation occur?
    Condensation polymerisation involves monomers with two functional groups.

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
