In this unit pupils:
- learn about acids and alkalis as classes of chemicals with distinct properties and uses
- use indicators to classify solutions as acidic, alkaline or neutral
- use the pH scale to compare the acidity and alkalinity of different solutions
- begin to explore neutralisation
In scientific enquiry pupils:
- recognise hazards and use information sources to assess risks associated with acids and alkalis
- make and present qualitative observations
- interpret qualitative observations, making comparisons and identifying simple patterns
- investigate the effectiveness of different antacids, controlling appropriate variables
This unit is expected to take approximately 7 hours.
