Pupils explain why electrolytes must be molten or dissolved, predict which ions move to the cathode and anode, and use OIL RIG to describe oxidation and reduction at the electrodes.
Included in every Skoolmaths plan
Questions are marked automatically as pupils answer: a sound and a character reaction show straight away whether they are right, and correct answers earn points, with a results screen at the end. Sentence-writing tasks are for pupils' own answers and are not marked automatically.

Use electricity to split compounds apart — the way aluminium is made and metals are plated. This 21-slide interactive lesson on electrolysis takes pupils from first ideas to exam-style explanations, with 13 self-marking activities and nothing to prepare beforehand.
Pupils explain why electrolytes must be molten or dissolved, predict which ions move to the cathode and anode, and use OIL RIG to describe oxidation and reduction at the electrodes. They predict the products for molten compounds and for aqueous solutions such as brine and copper sulfate, and describe the extraction of aluminium from aluminium oxide dissolved in molten cryolite.
Supports UK GCSE Chemistry and Combined Science (AQA, Edexcel and OCR) and the Nigerian Senior Secondary Chemistry curriculum (SS2), including WAEC and NECO exam preparation.
