 * Assessment task dates: investigation to be carried out in weeks 5 & 7, deadline is start of the lesson in week 8 : Feb 20th **
 * Test week: 15 (Tuesday 10 April) **


 * week || week beginning || lesson content || files and resources || homework ||  ||
 * 2 || 8 Jan || Introduction to acids and bases

Acids and bases as chemical opposites but both can be corrosive and/or harmful

Carrying out an experiment to use a variety of acids and bases with different indicators ||

Lesson notes: || complete this survey ||  || which indicators give the best information
 * 3 || 15 Jan || Reviewing results of last week's experiment:

Universal indicator has a range of colours Phenolphthalein is either pink or colourless

The chemical properties of the test liquid can change the indicator (eg washing detergent)

Hydroxides are alkaline

Carrying out a neutralisation experiment to show a range of colours in a test tube

Explaining why the final liquid has several colours until shaken || Lesson notes

|| None set ||  || Adding the correct volume of hydrochloric adic to sodium hydroxide to neutralise it (as shown by universal indicator) Careful quantitative measurement General pattern: Alkali + acid -> salt + water || || Click here ||   ||
