QCA Scheme of Work: Science KS3 Unit 9E http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes2/secondary_science/sci09e/ KS3 (England) Science Unit 9E: Reactions of metals and metal compounds
This unit is part of the scheme of work the shows how the science programme of study (PoS) for key stage 3 can be managed more easily.
The scheme is not statutory; you can use as much or as little as you wish. You could use the whole scheme or individual units. The sections on using this scheme and sequencing the units can help you to decide how you want to use the scheme.
You may also wish to combine these units with units from another subject. The combining units section gives information on exploiting powerful links between subjects.
1. Why are metals useful?
2. What happens when metals react with acids?
3. How do acids react with metal carbonates?
4. What evidence is there of a chemical reaction between acids and metal oxides?
6. What is a salt?
