S1 Chemical Reactions

Chemistry Topic

All of the classroom resources can be found in the PL Pupils > Science > Science S1-3 (BGE) > S1 Chemical reactions folder on the shared Google Drives. Each learning cycle resource includes home learning options as appropriate.

If you want your own copy of the resources, open the file and then from the 'File' menu (or document options button on mobile devices), click on the 'Make a copy' option. This will save the resource to your own Google Drive. Remember to organise your files (you might want to make a Science folder for all of your Science work).

This topic covers identifying chemicals and their chemical and physical properties based on their position in the Periodic Table. You will investigate the difference between physical changes and chemical changes and predict products formed during chemical reactions. You will also look at how the speed of chemical reactions can be monitored and changed as well as numerous examples of everyday chemical reactions.
