Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What happens when acids react with metals?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Unreactive metals such as gold are found in the Earth as the metal itself but most metals are found as compounds that require chemical reactions to extract the metal.
  2. Metals less reactive than carbon can be extracted from their oxides by reduction with carbon.
  3. Reduction involves the loss of oxygen.
  4. Knowledge and understanding are limited to the reduction of oxides using carbon.
  5. Knowledge of the details of processes used in the extraction of metals is not required.
  6. Students should be able to interpret or evaluate specific metal extraction processes when given appropriate information
  7. Students should be able to identify the substances which are oxidised or reduced in terms of gain or loss of oxygen.
  8. Students should be able to identify in a given reaction, symbol equation or half equation which species are oxidised and which are reduced.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • oxidation: gain of oxygen and loss of electrons. (1)
  • Reduction: loss of oxygen and gain of electrons (1)
  • Extraction: Removal of a useful substance from a compound (1)
  • Unreactive: An element that does not form compounds with other elements (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. Why are metals such as gold found in the Earth as the metal itself?
    Gold is found in the Earth as the metal itself as it is unreactive.
  2. How can metals less reactive than carbon be extracted from their oxides?
    Metals less reactive than carbon can be extracted from their oxides by reduction with carbon.
  3. What is meant by 'reduction' in terms of oxygen?
    Reduction involves the loss of oxygen.
  4. What substance can be used to extract the lesser reactive metals?
    Carbon can be used to extract the lesser reactive metals.
  5. What type of reaction is it when electrons are transferred from one species to another?
    When electrons are transferred from one species to another this is called a redox reaction.
  6. Identify the species that are oxidised and reduced in the half equations below: Cu2 Mg --> Mg2 Cu
    The oxidation half equation is: Mg --> Mg2 2e- The reduction half equation is: Cu2 2e- --> Cu
Identify questions for high, middle, low and identify questioning techniques- Challenge questions

Remember to check for PROGRESS
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
