  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING...to use our knowledge of chemistry so that we can understand and produce fun products for summer events.


    Kia ora year 8's. This week we will be using our knowledge of acids and bases and the periodic table to create sherbet and bath bombs, and experiment with glow sticks

    Success Criteria: 

    • I can give examples of acids and bases
    • I can name properties of acids and bases
    • I can explain the result of a neutralisation reaction
    • I can work sensibly in the lab
    • I can explain the cause of chemiluminescence 
    • I can give examples of chemiluminescence
    Activities: 
    1. Making sherbet activity (numeracy and literacy)
    2. Making bathbombs activity (numeracy)
    3. Glowstick lab
