Section outline

  • Success Criteria:

    1) Can identify elements and simple compounds involved in word equations

    2) Can write simple word equations 

    3) Investigate rates of chemical reactions (write a simple method, collect and graph data, draw simple conclusions)

    4) Describe how the rate of a reaction can be influenced 

    5) Extension: Can write balanced chemical equations using chemical formula


    Activities:

    1) Science Literacy - worksheets on naming compounds 

    2) EdPuzzle - learn about the ways you can influence chemical reactions (refer to Google Classroom)

    3) Practical activity -- planning and investigating rates of reaction 

    4) In-class notes/discussion -- method writing and graphing

    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING...on identifying and describing how chemicals react through experimentation to explain chemical disasters in society
    • We are FOCUSING... our learning by discussing the negative impacts chemical disasters in the community have on society to develop an understanding of how politics play a role in science
