Electroplating & Copper Purification GCSE Lesson (CC10a SC13c)

Electroplating & Copper Purification GCSE Lesson (CC10a SC13c)

(1)
This PowerPoint (containing a worksheet) will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Electroplating (Triple Science Only). It also contains slides that provide essential background for the Core Practical involving Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate (CC10a). The Core Practical prep can be taught separately but I find it fits better alongside electroplating for Triple Science classes. **Be aware: this lesson works best if you have access to Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Chemistry textbooks. It’s not essential; other resources can be used and all information needed for students to complete the worksheets is found in the slides. However, if textbooks are available, the worksheet can be completed as an independent learning task. ** Other GCSE lessons (including other lessons on Electrolysis) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

Chemical Cells and Fuel Cells GCSE lesson (SC16a)

(0)
This full lesson PowerPoint will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Chemical Cells and Fuel Cells. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. Please note that this lesson covers the Edexcel Chemistry Paper 1 content on chemical cells and hydrogen fuel cells. “Recall that a chemical cell produces a voltage until one of the reactants is used up” “Recall that in a hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell hydrogen and oxygen are used to produce a voltage and water is the only product” “Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of fuel cells for given uses” This lesson does not cover the Paper 2 content comparing and contrasting hydrogen and petrol as fuels. For that content, see my lesson SC20f on Cracking and Alternative Fuels.
