Term 4 Week 6

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING on the content of Chemistry through the context of Halloween by identifying the differences between acids and bases
• We are FOCUSING on the content of Chemistry through the context of Halloween by comparing our observations of acidic and basic solutions and how their colours explain or help identify these.

Kia Ora ākonga, 

Over the next 2 weeks we will be looking at the topic of acids and bases. 

Plan for the week is as follows: 

Tuesday: Acids and Bases notes and content knowledge 

Wednesday:  Red cabbage indicator experiment and worksheet 

Thursday/Friday: Acids scientific literacy reading
