Chemical World

Building Blocks

1. Students should be able to investigate whether mass is unchanged when chemical and physical changes take place.
2. Students should be able to develop and use models to describe the atomic nature of matter; demonstrate how they provide a simple way to account for the conservation of mass, changes of state,  physical change, chemical change, mixtures, and their separation.
3. Students should be able to describe and model the structure of the atom in terms of the nucleus, protons, neutrons and electrons; comparing mass and charge of protons, neutrons and electrons.
4. Students should be able to classify substances as elements, compounds, mixtures, metals, non-metals, solids, liquids, gases and solutions.

Systems and Interactions

5. Students should be able to use the Periodic Table to predict the ratio of atoms in compounds of two elements.
6. Students should be able to investigate the properties of different materials including solubilities, conductivity, melting points and boiling points.
7. Students should be able to investigate the effect of a number of variables on the rate of chemical reactions including the production of common gases and biochemical reactions.
8. Students should be able to investigate the reactions between acids and bases; use indicators and pH scale.

Energy

9. Students should be able to consider chemical reactions in terms of energy, using the terms exothermic, endothermic and activation energy, and use simple energy profile diagrams to illustrate energy changes.
