Term 4 Week 6

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING on the content of chemistry, through the context of Halloween by identifying common household acids and bases
• We are FOCUSING on the content of chemistry, through the context of Halloween by developing a red cabbage indicator to compare the differences in colours of the acidic and basic solutions and explain why we see these colour changes.

Kia ora ākonga, 

Over the next 2 weeks we will be looking at acids and bases. Given that the next 2 weeks are short weeks, we will mostly be in the explore stages. 

Plan for the weeks are as follows: 

Monday: 9M1( no lesson as we have champions assembly) , 9M2: Notes on acids and bases 

Wednesday: Heart dissection 

Thurs: Acids and bases scientific literacy 

Friday: TOD 

Week 7: 

Monday: 9M1: Acids and bases notes , 9M2: Catch-up notes

Wednesday: Red cabbage indicator experiment 

Thurs: Scientific literacy 

Friday: TOD (9M1 do this under must do/can do) 

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• • Describe how the various acid and base theories have progressed through the centuries.
  • Understand the pH scale.
  • Differentiate between acids and bases.
  • Identify properties of acids and bases.
  • Identify household as acidic or basic based on their properties.
