Achieve! Chemical Reactions, Materials and Particles explores the Chemistry concepts for the junior to middle secondary levels. However, the information is presented at a reading level of six to nine years, in a mature-look format.
The worksheets are grouped into topics to facilitate in-depth study of a subject, from a variety of approaches. Students will complete practical investigations and practice skills such as interpreting and labelling diagrams, recording results, completing tables, comparing data and drawing conclusions.
Topics:
Acids and alkalis - Hazard signs - Universal indicator - Neutralisation - Simple chemical reactions - Gases, acids and carbonates - Fuels - Particle model of solids
liquids and gases - Solutions - Separating mixtures - What colour is black ink? - Atoms and elements - Periodic table - Compounds and mixtures - Atoms in a compound
Pure substances - Reactions of metals and metal compounds - Metal oxides and acids - Patterns of reactivity - Metals- air and water - Displacements reactions - Environmental chemistry - Air pollution - Greenhouse effect - Acid rain - Using chemistry - Combustion - Energy from chemical reactions - Conservation of mass
