Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are NPK fertilisers?

Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding

Success Criteria:	You will show your learning by...
Ammonia can be used to manufacture ammonium salts and nitric acid. Students should be able to recall the names of the salts produced when phosphate rock is treated with nitric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid Potassium chloride, potassium sulfate and phosphate rock are obtained by mining, but phosphate rock cannot be used directly as a fertiliser Phosphate rock is treated with nitric acid or sulfuric acid to produce soluble salts that can be used as fertilisers. (HT only) Students should be able to: interpret graphs of reaction conditions versus rate Students should be able to compare the industrial production of fertilisers with laboratory preparations of the same compounds, given appropriate information Compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are used as fertilisers to improve agricultural productivity. NPK fertilisers contain compounds of all three elements. Industrial production of NPK fertilisers can be achieved using a variety of raw materials in several integrated processes NPK fertilisers are formulations of various salts containing appropriate percentages of the elements.

AFL/Key Questions:

What uses do we have for the ammonia produced through the Haber process?
Ammonia can be used to manufacture ammonium salts (used in fertilisers) and nitric acid.
Recall the names of the salts produced when phosphate rock is treated with: a) nitric acid b) sulfuric acid c) phosphoric acid
a) Calcium nitrate b) Single superphosphate (a mixture of calcium sulfate and calcium phosphate) c) Triple superphosphate (calcium phosphate)
What process is used to extract rocks containing phosphate compounds from the earth?
Mining. - The phosphate containing rocks must be processed further prior to being used in fertilisers.
How can rocks containing phosphate compounds be treated, in order to make soluble salts that can be used as fertilisers?
Phosphate rock is treated with nitric acid or sulfuric acid to produce soluble salts that can be used as fertilisers.
NPK fertilisers all contain which 3 elements?
N = Nitrogen P = Phosphorus K = Potassium
Can NPK fertilisers be made using a variety of raw materials and different reactions?
Yes, Industrial production of NPK fertilisers can be achieved using a variety of raw materials in several integrated processes
NPK fertilisers are formulations of various salts. What is a formulation?
Any mixture or substance prepared according to a particular formula. NPK fertilisers are formulations of various salts containing appropriate percentages of the elements (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium).

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)?
