A full 1 hour lesson designed for a mixed ability year 8 class.
This is the 4th lesson in “Chapter 3 - Metals and other materials" from Activate 2, Chemistry. This lesson is on the page named Metal displacement reactions’.
This lesson should be suitable to teach to any KS3 Chemistry class, even by those where Chemistry is not their specialism.
This lesson (and all lessons in this unit) is designed to be interactive and engaging, with plenty of real world examples and independent tasks.
This lesson contains a practical demonstration reacting iron with copper sulfate solution.

From this lesson, students should be able to:

• Describe displacement reactions.
• Explain the observations they see during a displacement reaction.
• Use the reactivity series to determine whether or not a displacement reaction will occur when given the names of a metal and metal compound.
• Predict the products of displacement reactions.
• Write word equations for displacement reactions.

All of my lessons contain:

• A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter
• An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson
• Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load
• Teacher models
• Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes and whiteboard quizzes
• Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides
• A plenary task
