Section outline

  • Welcome back to Term 2 

    Week 1 is designed to be a refresher on key chemistry concepts from Year 9. 

    Learning Outcomes

    1) Describe the signs of a chemical reaction by observing and gathering data 

    2) Explain one chemical disaster in some detail, describing its impact on society and the environment


    Activities

    Practicals:  

    Observing, gathering data and drawing conclusions on chemical reactions (refer to Google Classroom for the activity) 

    Education Perfect: 

    Chemical Reactions module is assigned

    Science Literacy:  

    Introduction to major chemical disasters (Chernobyl, Fukushima, Beirut) by completing a short online research study using your English skills

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING... disasters in science by researching major events (eg. Chernobyl, Fukushima, Beirut)
    • We are EXPLORING... disasters by experimenting and observing signs of chemical reactions so we can identify when a chemical reaction has occurred in society
    • We are EXPLORING... lab safety so we interpret hazard symbols so we safely work with chemicals
