Science at key stage 3 (Year 7)

Unit 7E: Acids and alkalis
Section 7: Checking progress

Objectives

Children should learn:

to summarise key ideas about acids, alkalis and neutralisation

Activities		Outcomes
		Children:
Help pupils to work in groups to produce questions about acids, alkalis and neutralisation, which will help clarify their thoughts. Pupils ask others to answer or find the answers to their questions. Use all the questions and answers and, together with the pupils, agree a summary of key ideas.		identify key questions about acids and alkalis use correct scientific terminology in answering questions

Points to note

Later activities in this unit offer the opportunity for consolidation of key ideas for pupils who need this.
Extension: pupils could also be asked to explore whether mass is conserved as neutralisation takes place. This idea is covered more fully in unit 9H 'Using chemistry'.
