Stage of lesson Student Action /Tasks Time Differentiated Learning Teacher Action

Introduction Do Now Students reading through 5 mins Marking roll and handing out sheet if students have forgotten it.
Part C of Metal Properties (10:40) Question: What are we going to be doing today?What materials are we
experiment. using?What are we testing?What are we comparing?
 School of Education
Body of lesson Students forming groups and
undertaking experiment.
Students packing up experiment
Students listening and writing notes.
Asking/answering questions where
prompted or necessary.
Conclusion Conduct leave pass students
writing answer in their books
30 mins Ask students to provide their answers for the Do Now question, try to get
(10:45) 3 or 4 different explanations.
5 mins Prompting students to pack up their experiment.
(11:15)
15 mins Introduction of ionic bonding.
(11:20) What were charged particles called? ions
What do you think an atom that has less protons than electrons will end
up as? What about the opposite?
What did I call the positively charged metal ions? cations
How do you think ionic compounds are held together? (Think about the
negative anion and positive cation)
Why do you think ionic bonding occurs between positive and negative
ions?
Similar to metals, ionic compounds form lattices. What might this tell you
about the boiling point? Or the strength of the bond?
But dissimilar to metals, ionic compounds cant conduct electricity when
solid. Why is that? What are they missing?
10 mins Circulating as students work on questions 2.1.2 and 2.3. Answering
(11:35) questions where necessary.
5 mins Instruct students to complete leave pass question.
