Content summary
The study of chemistry which this learning project provides includes:
- the particle model provides explanations for the different physical properties and behaviour of matter
- elements consist of atoms that combine together in chemical reactions to form compounds
- this includes the development and organisation of elements in the Periodic Table
- this includes the different properties of compounds due to the number and type of atoms and their arrangement
- elements and compounds show characteristic chemical properties and patterns in their behaviour
- this can be exemplified by the reactions of metals and non-metals, and acids and bases
- geological activity is caused by chemical and physical changes
- this includes the rock cycle processes, rock formation and weathering
- human activity and natural processes can lead to changes in the environment
