Zinc metal and dilute hydrochloric acid react to form salt and water. The bubbles that look like smoke are a gas that is liberated. When the bubbles cease, the substances that remain in the flask are zinc chloride and excess zinc.

Students are to discuss the formation of magnesium sulfate salt. They are to identify the acid and metal to be used in the reaction. Also, they are to name the gas produced and write a word and symbol equation. Determine which substance will be in excess and how to remove it.

CHUNKING OF CONTENT

Building your lesson plan using small, bitesize chunks of content will help your learners to stay engaged.

It will also help your learners acquire and consolidate new knowledge and skills more easily.

And, it will make the content production process more straightforward and efficient for you and your team!

HOW TO CHUNK

1. Break your themes down into smaller topics, so that new concepts don’t become overwhelming or confusing.

2. Keep your content focused on your learning outcomes to facilitate a smooth learning journey through your course.

3. Question and prioritise content - are you designing materials that relate directly to your topics and learning outcomes? A good lesson shouldn’t include every single piece of information related to the subject area.

4. Think in timescales – using a variety of 5, 10 and 20-minute tasks helps to keep learners engaged and improves interactivity levels.

5. Stick to the chunking limit – research shows that learners can only process 3-4 main new ideas per ‘page, so don’t be tempted to squeeze more than that in!
