Chemistry<br />

The Earth and its atmosphere<br />

Objectives:<br />

• Explain the processes which contributed to the formation of the<br />

modern day atmosphere<br />

• Describe the layered structure of the Earth<br />

• Explain how the rock cycle leads to the formation of<br />

sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks<br />

Description<br />

Uses interactive animations to show the evolution of Earth and atmosphere from formation to 4500<br />

million years ago, the Earth’s layered structure, how rock is recycled in the crust, and the formation<br />

of the three major rock types.<br />

Duration (lesson and worksheet together): This lesson lends itself to presentation as two or three<br />

different lessons of 20-30 minutes each.<br />

Topic: Earth and its atmosphere<br />

Bonding and formulas<br />

Objectives:<br />

• State that different atoms can make different numbers of covalent<br />

bonds, and name <strong>com</strong>pounds with covalent bonds<br />

• Describe the relationship between the group in the Periodic<br />

Table and the number of bonds<br />

• State that for simple negative ions the charge is the same as the<br />

number of covalent bonds<br />

Description<br />

Uses a flexible model for exploring a range of covalent and ionic <strong>com</strong>pounds, and for displaying their<br />

names and formulas.<br />

Duration (lesson and worksheet together): 50 minutes<br />

Topic: Formulas and equations<br />

Balancing equations<br />

Objectives:<br />

• Identify the reactants and products in a chemical reaction<br />

• State that atoms are rearranged during a chemical reaction<br />

• State that no atoms are created or destroyed during a chemical<br />

reaction<br />

• Write and balance symbol equations for reactions<br />

Description<br />

Uses an interactive model to demonstrate why chemical equations are balanced, and how to balance<br />

them.<br />

Duration (lesson and worksheet together): 50 minutes<br />

Topic: Formulas and equations<br />
