Year-7 Chemistry Acids and Alkalis: Acids and Alkalis
In this Year-7 Chemistry Acids and Alkalis: Acids and Alkalis lesson, students explore the properties of acids and alkalis. They identify common household acids and alkalis and explain how dilute solutions differ from concentrated ones. Note: The Activate course, which these lessons follow, presents an unusually challenging topic for Year 7. We recommend using the mid-ability version of the comprehension questions in the final activity.
The slides include extension questions, and students can choose from a variety of different tasks.
This lesson includes:
- Title slide with learning objectives
- Starter task
- Group reading (literacy)
- Keywords (vocabulary: acid, alkali, solute, solution, solvent and corrosive)
- Task boxes
- Consolidation exercise
- True or false discussion exercise
