Unit 8F: Compounds and mixtures Section 4: Checking progress
Objectives
Children should learn:
to make connections between key ideas about chemical change
Activities
Outcomes
Children:
Ask pupils to produce a concept map related to chemical change using terms,
eg atom, element, compound, burning, oxygen, formula, symbol, chemical, reaction, copper, oxide. Discuss pupils' maps with them and if necessary help them to make an exemplar map to refer to in later work.
link ideas in an appropriate way
recognise additional links when these are pointed out
Points to note
This activity and the next one are likely to show that pupils have a number of misconceptions. Some of these may be tackled by discussing pupils' ideas with them as they produce their concept map. Later activities in this unit, and activities in unit 9E 'Reactions of metals and metal compounds', unit 9F 'Patterns of reactivity' and unit 9H 'Using chemistry', provide further opportunities to revisit ideas about elements, compounds and chemical change.
This unit is divided into sections. Each section contains a sequence of
activities with related objectives and outcomes. You can view this unit by
