Science at key stage 3 (Year 7)

Unit 7E: Acids and alkalis
Section 9: Reviewing work

Objectives

Children should learn:

to relate ideas about acids and alkalis to each other

Activities		Outcomes
		Children:
Help pupils to bring together their knowledge about acids and alkalis by asking them to produce a concept map using terms encountered, eg acid, alkali, strongly acidic, weakly acidic, weakly alkaline, strongly alkaline, neutral, indicator, universal indicator, colour change, corrosive, sour. Ask pupils to comment on others' maps and additional connections, explaining those shown.		identify relationships between key ideas explain why connections were made

Points to note

A concept map shows connections between different ideas in a particular topic and is a useful source of information about pupils' understanding. Many pupils will be familiar with making concept maps from their work in primary science. Some pupils will require help, eg a range of terms could be written on a large sheet of paper and pupils asked to draw lines between those they think are linked, and to write a phrase or sentence on the lines explaining why they have linked those terms.
