EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the effect that war has on the environment by researching the different wars and investigating what these wars did the environment.
• We are EXPLORING the different forms of warfare and focussing in on chemical warfare by investigating the periodic table and the different elements and compounds that can be found.
• We are EXPLORING Acids and bases by practically investigating their properties

• Revise all year 9 material work covered
• Distinguish between physical and chemical reactions 
• Describe the structure of the atom
• Describe the key differences between the 3 subatomic particles 
• Describe the structure and function of the periodic table 
• Use the periodic table to explain the structure of various different atoms 
• Use the periodic table to draw an electron configuration diagram / orbital diagram 
• Write word equations for chemical reactions 
• Define the terms compound and mixture and be able to give examples of each 
• Determine the number of atoms in a compound, given its chemical formula 

• Success Criteria: I can/have...
