For use with Framework Science book 7. Learning outcomes: How to make an indicator using coloured plant matter. How to test your indicator on acids and alkalis.
Learning Outcomes: Magnesium + Oxygen ? Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium is a light, silver grey metal.
Oxygen is a colourless, odourless gas.
Magnesium Oxide is a white powder.
Aim: To find out how Magnesium Oxide is formed.
Good for revision for KS3. Learning Outcomes: What gas tests can be used to determine if an odourless, colourless gas is oxygen, carbon dioxide or hydrogen?
For use with Framework Science book 8.
Learning Outcomes:
Simple electromagnet structure.
Uses of electromagnets (electric bell, car scrap yard, relay switch for a shower).
How to make an electromagnet stronger.
The three most common gases given off in reactions are:
• Oxygen
• Hydrogen
• Carbon Dioxide
All these gases are colorless and odourless.
There are tests we can do to establish which gas is given off in an experiment.
For use with Framework Science book 8. Learning Outcomes: What is the rock cycle? What are the important processes that take place within the rock cycle?
For use with Framework Science book 8.
Learining Outcomes:
Structure of a simple electromagnet, introduce SOLENOID.
How the strength of electromagnet can be changed.
Examples of uses of Electromagnets.
For use with Framework Science book 8. Learning Outcomes: Difference between heat & temperature. How do things get hotter or colder? Conductors é insulators.
Hot water test
We will place the four metals in a beaker with very hot water.
The liquid crystal displays will change colour to show which metal conducts heat at a faster rate.
Bunsen Burner Test
We will place the ends of four metals in a busen burner flame. The metals all have ball bearings stuck on the other end with blobs of wax. When the metal conducts, heat is transferred along the metal, the wax melts and the ball bearing drops.
