The lessons in order
| Ref | Lesson pack | Structure | Worksheet | Quiz | Lab tab |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | Relative masses Atoms are far too light to weigh in grams, so chemists compare them with one agreed standard: an atom of carbon-12, fixed at exactly 12. | Numbered Heads Together | 6 Q, 13 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 1 |
| 2.2 | The mole and the Avogadro constant Nobody can count 10 23 atoms, but anyone can weigh 12 grams of carbon. | Round Table | 6 Q, 14 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 2 |
| 2.3 | Formulae and equations An ionic formula balances positive and negative charge. | Rally Robin | 6 Q, 14 marks | 8 MCQ | none |
| 2.3 | Empirical and molecular formulae Analysis tells you what a compound is made of, by mass. | Numbered Heads Together | 6 Q, 14 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 3 |
| 2.4 | Reacting masses and limiting reagents A balanced equation gives a ratio of moles, not of grams. | Round Table | 6 Q, 17 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 4, tab 7 |
| 2.4 | Volumes of gases At the same temperature and pressure, a mole of hydrogen fills the same space as a mole of carbon dioxide. | Rally Coach | 6 Q, 14 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 5 |
| 2.4 | Solutions and titrations Concentration tells you how many moles are in each cubic decimetre of solution. | Numbered Heads Together | 6 Q, 18 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 6 |
Each pack holds the plan, worksheet and quiz for its lesson. Teach the rows in order; the lab tabs match the student lessons.
