Risk assessments are required for any hazardous activity. In this unit pupils:
- explore the properties of metallic and non-metallic elements
- use solutions of acids, alkalis and metal salts, which may be hazardous
- evaporate salt solutions prepared in a variety of ways
- plan and carry out an investigation into the preparation of a salt
Model risk assessments used by most employers for normal science activities can be found in the publications listed in the
Teacher's guide. Teachers need to follow these as indicated in the guidance notes for the activities, and consider what modifications are needed for individual classroom situations.
