Prior learning

It is helpful if pupils:

  • can name some metals, understanding that they are elements, and can give some of their characteristics
  • know that atoms join together in different ways when chemical reactions take place
  • have represented some elements and compounds by symbols and formulae
  • understand that chemical reactions can be represented by word, particle and symbol equations
  • have carried out tests to identify hydrogen and carbon dioxide
