Y7Chemistry Lessons1 3

This document provides a schedule and lesson plans for a Year 7 chemistry unit on the particle model from September to October 2012. The unit consists of 8 lessons covering safety in the chemistry lab, the Bunsen burner, heating substances, states of matter, changes of state, melting and freezing, diffusion, and gases and air pressure. Lesson 1 introduces lab safety and hazards. Lesson 2 teaches how to use the Bunsen burner properly. Lesson 3 demonstrates safely heating liquids and how heating causes evaporation.

Lesson 1: Safety
Lesson Objectives: 1. That Chemistry is the study of chemicals and materials. 2. That there are many hazards in the Chemistry laboratory and the importance of working safely. Year 7 Chemistry Pupil Track 1 Sep-Oct 2011 Starter
TIMING

0-5min

Demo exploding can (optional) to emphasise the potential dangers of gas taps and the importance of safe working in the laboratory. Or Use SAFETY.ppt PowerPoint Presentation (PPP) to introduce the topic.
Main Body

RESOURCES/ NOTES

Riley: Chemistry Now! textbook Worksheets in filing cabinet under Staff Room phone: 1. W.1.2 Lab Rules 2. W.1.3 Hazard Symbols 3. W.1.4 Spot the Hazard PowerPoint presentations and videos in R:/Science/KS3/Y 7/ Chemistry/Lesson Resources.

545min

What is meant by a hazard? Ascertain from pupils some of the possible dangers / hazards that might be present / occur in the lab. Spider diagram of their ideas on the board. In pairs, ask boys to make up 5 lab. Rules in rough and list them in order of importance. Obtain ideas from each group. W.1.2 Lab Rules; discuss. Boys stick in books. Ask boys for examples from everyday life where they might see a hazard warning symbol (e.g. road signs, warning flags on the beach, signs on electrical installations, pylons etc). W.1.3 Hazard Symbols to stick in books. Discuss. Using W.1.4 Spot the Hazard, get boys to identify as many hazards as possible.

45-50 min

Plenary

Discuss hazards found and their potential consequences.


Homework

Either a) choose one lab. rule and design a hazard sign to represent it Or b) design a hazard sign of their own choice e.g. slippery floor, broken glass etc.

The best posters should be passed to the KS3 leader for a wall display.

Lesson 2: The Bunsen Burner


Lesson Objectives: 1. That the Bunsen burner is used in the Chemistry laboratory to heat substances. 2. How to light a Bunsen burner safely. 3. How to heat a solid safely using a Bunsen burner. 4. How to change the nature of the flame of a Bunsen burner.

Year 7 Chemistry Pupil Track 1 Sep-Oct 2011

010min

Starter Introduce the Bunsen burner and its parts W1.5 The Bunsen Burner and W1.6 The Bunsen Burner Ask boys to identify potential hazards when working with the Bunsen burner and what steps they could take to minimize the risks to themselves and others. Go over PPP SAFETY.ppt Main Body 1. Demonstrate and explain the safe lighting of the Bunsen burner (boys to make notes under this title) also hand out sheet W.1.6. Refer specifically to the following rules and why we follow them: 2. Eyewear 3. Heat proof mat 4. Stand up 5. Rubber tubing firmly on gas tap 6. Air hole closed 7. Lighted splint ready 8. Face and hair well back 9. Light at arms length and at a safe distance from the chimney 2. Demonstrate the safe heating of a solid (boys to make notes under this title) hydrated dehydrated copper sulphate crystals in an ignition tube. If time, discuss the reaction and the fact that it can be reversed by adding water. Refer specifically to the following rules and why we follow them: 3. Ignition tube held in a test tube holder, close to the neck 4. Held at 45 angle 5. Held away from themselves and others 6. Heat lower end of tube only 7. Keep tube moving gently 8. Place hot tube on a heat proof mat 3. Class practical: The Bunsen burner. Boys should follow the method on sheet W1.6, noting their observations in rough (copy up in neat for homework). Plenary Discuss with boys what they have learned about the nature of the Bunsen burner flames. If time permits you may wish to demonstrate the presence of unburned gas in the blue cone using a glass tube to sample the contents of the blue cone and light the gas at the opposite end of the tube. Homework Boys to complete the sheet in neat and stick into their exercise books.

Lesson 3: Heating Substances Safely


Lesson Objectives: 1. How to heat a liquid safely using a Bunsen burner. 2. To understand why liquid will evaporate when heated using a Bunsen burner. Year 7 Chemistry Pupil Track 1 Sep-Oct 2011
TIMING

0-5min 545min

Starter Discuss ideas relevant to this topic. Main Body Activity 1 Demonstrate the safe heating of a liquid (water) in a boiling tube to include the following points, which the pupils should record: 1. Eyewear 2. Stand up 3. Add a few anti-bumping granules to the liquid 4. Blue flame (half-open vent) 5. Boiling tube held close to the neck by a test-tube holder 6. boiling tube held at a 45-degree angle 7. Boiling tube directed away from yourself and others 8. Heat just below the surface of the liquid 9. Keep tube moving gently 10. Place hot boiling tube in a beaker for support, on the heat-proof mat Activity 2 Introduce the measuring cylinder to measure volumes accurately (more accurate than a beaker or conical flask). Highlight that the measurement is taken from the bottom of the meniscus, read when the eye is horizontally adjacent to the mark. Pupils to then measure 15ml water using the measuring cylinder. They should transfer this to a boiling tube and heat safely, as discussed. They should allow the water to boil for about 30seconds and then stand in a beaker to cool for a few minutes. They should then return the water to the measuring cylinder and note the new volume.

45-50 min

Plenary Discuss the reduction in the volume of water why has this occurred? = The Bunsen burner supplies the water particles with energy so that they move faster and some have enough energy to overcome the forces of attraction between the particles and escape into the air evaporation. Homework Write a brief account of the measurement of volume including a diagram and an account of safe heating of a liquid
