    This lesson plan is for an 8th grade chemistry class about how liquids can conduct electricity. The lesson will involve students doing experiments in groups to test whether common liquids like water, acid solutions, and alcohol are conductors or insulators. They will construct simple circuits using batteries, wires, and liquids to see if an bulb lights up. The teacher will explain how electrolytes allow current to flow and cause chemical reactions. By the end of the lesson, students should understand the basic components of electrical circuits and be able to classify liquids as conductors or insulators.

    LESSON PLAN

    CLASS: VIII B TIME: 40 MIN

    SUBJECT: CHEMISTRY

    TOPIC: CHEMICAL EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT

    SUB-TOPIC: LIQUIDS CONDUCT ELECTRICITY

    GENERAL OBJECTIVES:

     To promote understanding of basic principles in Chemistry while retaining the


    excitement in Chemistry.
     To develop positive scientific attitude, and appreciate contribution of Chemistry
    towards the improvement of quality of human life.
     To develop problem solving skills and nurture curiosity in students.
     To inculcate values of honesty, integrity, cooperation, concern for life and
    preservation of the environment.

    SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to

     Recall solids as conductors and insulators.


     Classify liquids as good conductors and poor conductors.
     Experiment with different liquids to test their conductivity.
     Explain that the passage of electric current through conducting solutions causes
    chemical reactions.
     Define the terms electrodes, cathode, and anode.
     Draw and setup electric circuit for testing conductivity of various liquids.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: Students are already familiar with metals as good conductors of
    electricity, materials like rubber,non-metals,plastic and wood do not conduct electricity, making
    tester, components of a tester

    TEACHING AIDS: Laboratory resources like copper wires, battery ,iron nails, carbon rods,
    bulb, liquids liked water, acetic acid, honey, hydrochloric acid ,copper sulphate solution.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Teacher: Sometimes, we get electric shock during rainy season while switching on or off
    electrical appliances what could be the reason?

    Students: Water conducts electricity.


    Teacher: What are conductors?

    Students: Materials which allow electric current to pass through them student metals like copper,
    aluminium.

    Teacher: Give some examples of insulators.

    Students: Rubber,plastic,non-metals, wood.

    Teacher: Do liquids also conduct electricity?

    Students: Yes, like water.

    Teacher: Yes, liquids also conduct electricity and show chemical reactions when electric current
    passes through them

    PRESENTATION:

    Activity 1:

    Students are divided into four groups.Each group will do an electrical conductivity test of two
    solutions in which one of the solution is conducting and other one is non conducting.

    Each group is provided with a tester.

    Students are asked to check the conductivity of two liquids by dipping the two free ends of the
    tester and then fill up the observation sheet given to them.

    Solutions given to

    Group 1: Copper sulphate solution & Honey

    Group 2 : HCl solution & oil

    Group 3: Acetic acid solution & sugar solution

    Group 4: Tap water & lemon juice

    Students come up with the following observations:

    Teacher what conclusion can be derived from the above activity?

    Students: Some chemical solutions conduct electricity while others don't.

    Teacher: Liquids that conduct electricity are called electrolyte and passage of electric current
    through them causes chemical reaction.

    S.No LIQUID USED BULB INFERENCE


    . GLOWS/DOESN’ CONDUCTING/NON-
    T GLOW CONDUCTING
    1 GROUP 1
    Copper sulphate solution Glows Conducting solution
    Honey Doesn’t glow Non-conducting solution
    2 GROUP 2
    HCl solution Glows Conducting solution

    Oil Doesn’t glow Non-conducting solution

    3 GROUP 3
    Acetic acid solution Glows Conducting solution

    Sugar solution Doesn’t glow Non-conducting solution

    4 GROUP 4
    Tap water Glows Conducting solution

    Lemon juice Doesn’t glow Non-conducting solution

    Activity 2: Students are asked to draw the diagram of the setup of circuits so that they can label
    and identify the terms like electrodes-cathode ,anode and electrolyte and other components of the
    circuit.

    Post activity discussion:

    Electrode is a conductor that passes an electric current from one medium to another. Electrodes
    come in pairs. Cathode is connected to the negative terminal of the battery. Anode is connected
    to the positive terminal of the battery.

    RECAPITULATION:

     What are the components of a tester?


     What is an electrolyte?
     Define electrodes.
     What is cathode and anode?
     How conductivity of liquid is different from solids?
     Which of the following liquids will conduct electricity: Alcohol, distilled water, salt
    solution

    HOME ASSIGNMENTS:

     Construct a tester using compass in place of bulb.

    VALUES: Scientific temper, sharing information, working in group.

    SKILLS DEVELOPED: Thinking skills, observation skills, experimental skill.

    BLACK-BOARD WORK:
