Fill in your score under each letter. Then compare them to the score column. If your score equals:


colour them green well done, youve mastered that topic.

colour them orange and highlight the points you need to work on.
colour it red and dont despair, you just need to go back over this topic and the last column shows you what you need to know If your whole chart has a lot of red dont panic, talk to your teacher!

I need to
Find and learn all the hazard symbols on http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/chemistry/chemicalr eactions/1typesofreactionrev7.shtml Use the information here to make a poster of the safety precautions for handling hazardous acids and alkalis, e.g. wearing goggles and avoiding contact with skin Practise reading data in a table by doing questions 4a and 4b on p67 of the book and then writing down all the animals in the table which can live in water of pH 4.5-5.5. Use the data in the pie chart on p55 of the book to draw a bar chart (hint: make the scale on the vertical axis 0%-100% and the bars should not be touching.) Draw a pH scale. Include pH numbers and the colours they turn Universal Indicator. Label the parts of the scale showing acids, alkalis and neutral). Page 56 in the student book will help. Write a definition for the term indicator. Make a list of weak and strong acids. There are some at http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/chemistry/ac ids_bases_1.shtml) look for others around home. Write down the properties of weak and strong acids. Visit http://www.lcc.ukf.net/KS3Chem/acidalkali.htm and list four common alkalis (hint: hydroxides are common examples of alkalis). List some properties of alkalis. Read pages 58-59 in the book and then write a sentence of no more than 10 words explaining how to make an acid or alkali solution neutral. Copy the checklist below. Next time I do an investigation Ill remember: 1. To make the test fair by keeping everything the same (control variables) except the thing you want to find the effect of (independent variable). 2. The variable that you measure is called the dependent variable. 3. You should do an experiment as many times as possible to get more reliable data. Draw labelled diagrams to describe the useful tests for hydrogen and carbon dioxide (eg squeaky pop test for hydrogen).

I need to
When acids react with alkalis, metals or carbonates they produce a salt. When acids react with carbonates they also produce carbon dioxide (its in the name!). They also produce water work out a way of remembering this. When acids react with metals they produce a salt and hydrogen. Work out a way of remembering this. They dont produce anything else. When sulfuric acid reacts with metals or carbonates a salt called a sulfate is produced. Hydrochloric acid produces chloride salts and nitric acid produces nitrate salts. Read pages 64-65 in the student book and list two examples of each. Word equations show a reaction in a standard shortened form, eg metal + acid  salt + hydrogen. The reactants are on the left, the products on the right and the arrow means produces or makes. Write word equations for one alkali and acid reaction, one metal and acid reaction and one carbonate and acid reaction.
