A full 1 hour lesson designed for a mixed ability year 8 class.
This is the 5th lesson in “Chapter 3 - Metals and other materials" from Activate 2, Chemistry. This lesson is on 'extracting metals’.
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.

From this lesson, students should be able to:

• Define the term ‘ore’.
• Describe a method used to extract metals from their ores (heating with carbon).
• Recall which metals can be extracted by heating with carbon.
• Explain why heating with carbon results in these metals being extracted from their ores.
• Name the products formed when these metals are heated with carbon.

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
