Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is crude oil?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Crude oil is a finite resource found in rocks. Crude oil is the remains of an ancient biomass consisting mainly of plankton that was buried in mud.
  2. Crude oil is a mixture of a very large number of compounds.
  3. Most of the compounds in crude oil are hydrocarbons, which are molecules made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms only.
  4. Most of the hydrocarbons in crude oil are hydrocarbons called alkanes. The general formula for the homologous series of alkanes is CnH2n+2
  5. The first four members of the alkanes are methane, ethane, propane and butane.
  6. Alkane molecules can be represented in the following forms: C2H6 or displayed formula.
  7. Students should be able to recognise substances as alkanes given their formulae in these forms.
  8. Students do not need to know the names of specific alkanes other than methane, ethane, propane and butane.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Alkene: any of the series of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a double bond. (1)
  • Alkane: saturated hydrocarbons with all the carbons occupied by a hydrogen. (1)
  • Hydrocarbon: a molecule consisting of only hydrogen and carbon. (1)
  • Crude oil: the remains of an ancient biomass consisting mainly of plankton that was buried in mud. (1)

Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
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
