Lesson 9
Esters
Learning Intention: Create and hydrolyze esters and polyesters.
Success Criteria
9. I can explain condensation polymerization (polyesters and polyamides) and triglyceride formation.
A = Draws polymer with minor error or can identify condensation polymerization.
M = Draw polymer and explain condensation.
10. I can explain hydrolysis in acidic and basic conditions.
A = Define hydrolysis or correctly identify one product.
M = Explains hydrolysis and required reagents and correctly draws most products.
E = Explains hydrolysis and required reagents and correctly draws ALL products.

Listen to Ms Garlick's notes on esters, which she will cover by going over the ester based questions from the 2023 and 2021 exams (2023 & 2021 Blank Copy of the Question, 2023 Marking Schedule, 2021 Marking Schedule).
No Brain Too Small Collated Questions on Polymers (just do the polyester questions) and No Brain Too Small Collated Questions on Triglycerides.
