The lessons in order
| Ref | Lesson pack | Structure | Worksheet | Quiz | Lab tab |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12.1 | Experimental design and apparatus Every practical question starts with the same choices: what to measure, which apparatus to use and how precise it needs to be. | Frayer Model | 6 Q, 15 marks | 8 MCQ | none |
| 12.2 | Acid-base titrations A titration finds exactly how much acid neutralises a measured volume of alkali. | Numbered Heads Together | 6 Q, 16 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 6 |
| 12.3 | Chromatography A spot of ink on paper, a little solvent, and ten minutes later the mixture has spread into its separate components. | Anticipation / Reaction Guide | 6 Q, 13 marks | 8 MCQ | none |
| 12.4 | Separation and purification Salt from sea water, pure water from ink, ethanol from a fermented mixture: each separation uses a difference in property, whether solubility, particle size or boiling point. | Cooperative Concept Mapping | 6 Q, 14 marks | 8 MCQ | none |
| 12.5 | Tests for anions and cations A white powder could be almost anything. | Quiz-Quiz-Trade | 6 Q, 16 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 5 |
| 12.5 | Tests for gases Colourless gases look identical, but each one reacts in a way that gives it away: a squeaky pop, a splint bursting into flame, limewater turning milky. | Mix-Pair-Share | 6 Q, 13 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 1 |
Each pack holds the plan, worksheet and quiz for its lesson. Teach the rows in order; the lab tabs match the student lessons.
