Module 3 | Reactive chemistry
Content 1: Chemical reactions
Lesson 1 | Reactions - indicators of chemical change
-
investigate a variety of reactions to identify possible indicators of a chemical change
-
use modelling to demonstrate:
– the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances
– the conservation of atoms in a chemical reaction (ACSCH042, ACSCH080)
Lesson 2 | Investigating decomposition reactions
-
conduct investigations to predict and identify the products of a range of reactions, for example:
– decomposition
– precipitation
Lesson 3 | Investigating precipitation reactions
-
Conduct investigations to predict and identify the products of a range of reactions, for example:
– precipitation
Lesson 4 | Combustion of organic compounds
-
Conduct investigations to predict and identify the products of a range of reactions, for example:
– combustion
Lesson 5 | Investigating synthesis and combustion reactions
-
conduct investigations to predict and identify the products of a range of reactions, for example:
– synthesis
– combustion
– acid base reactions
– acid carbonate reactions (ACSCH042, ACSCH080) -
construct balanced equations to represent chemical reactions
Lesson 6 | Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' processes for detoxifying poisonous food
-
investigate the chemical processes that occur when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples detoxify poisonous food items
