good resources exist.

Suggested starter activities
Equipment
Teacher notes
1. Play What am I?
Cards with names or structures on them
Students must correctly identify them as aldehydes or
ketones.
2. Play Pairs.
Same cards as above, but each name
has a matching structure on another card.
Students play Snap or try to pair up the structure with the
corresponding name.
3. Use molecular models to show the difference between
aldehydes and ketones.
Molecular model kits
Can also be used to practise naming carbonyl compounds.
Suggested main activities
Equipment
Teacher notes
1. Practical activity 2: The characteristic test for a carbonyl
compound and the use of the 2,4-DNPH derivative to identify
an unknown carbonyl compound
See technician worksheet.
See teacher worksheet.
2. Practical activity 3: Oxidation and reduction reactions of
carbonyl compounds
See technician worksheet.
See teacher worksheet.
3. In groups, students produce a flow sheet to distinguish
between aldehydes, ketones and alcohols via simple chemical
tests.
Carboxylic acids and esters may also be added.
Suggested plenary activities
Equipment
Teacher notes
1. Students deliver their PowerPoint presentations.
Data projector
Again, the nucleophile and the carbonyl can be replaced
with others.
2. Devise a key word quiz.
Cards containing key words from the last
three weekly plans
Divide students into pairs or small groups, they then take
turns to draw a card and must explain the word on the card.
3. Play Beach ball game.
Large, plain beach ball
Write keywords from this topic on the ball; more are added
from lesson to lesson. Students sit in a circle and throw the
ball to a friend – the recipient has to explain the word
nearest their right thumb.

Homework suggestions
• Construct a table that compares and contrasts the key properties of aldehydes and ketones.
• Draw alcohol structures and their oxidation product when given a variety of alcohol names (primary, secondary and tertiary).
• Compare reactions of non-polar C=C bond with the polar carbonyl bond.
Cross-curriculum links
• Biology – reducing sugars that are aldehydes
Stretch and Challenge
• Research how the 2,4-DNPH test was used to identify the alkenes in naturally-occurring rubbers via ozonolysis.
• Research other nucleophilic addition reactions of aldehydes and ketones.
Potential misconceptions
• Students find it difficult to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones – if there is at least one hydrogen attached to the carbonyl carbon then it is an aldehyde.
• In structures, aldehydes are written as –CHO and an alcohol as –CHOH.
