1. STARTER Mind Map! Think of as many uses / facts as you can about copper. What do you know already?

2. Title: LO: Copper Find out the properties of copper and how it is extracted from its ore.

3. Can Copper

4. Can Copper Malleable Conducts _______well Conducts ___well Decorative

5. Because copper is more/less (?) reactive than carbon we can reduce it with carbon. Copper ore is: CuCO 3 – copper carbonate, what will the products of the reaction be?

6. This thermally decomposes copper carbonate (malachite) to make _______ copper carbonate  ______ + ________ Copper oxide Carbon dioxide Smelting This is where we heat our copper ore (malachite) very strongly in air.

7. We can then react copper oxide with sulphuric acid to make copper sulphate solution and then extract the copper by using electrolysis. This produces purer copper. Task: Use electrolysis to extract and collect copper from copper sulphate

8. When we’re doing experiments we need: Goggles on Hair tied back WORKING SENSIBLY Standing up Bags under desks

9. Alloys Bronze and brass. Bronze = copper + tin Brass = copper + zinc

10. Plenary: Think of 2/3 questions from the chemistry/biology GCSE to test the class on! DIY Quiz…
