Key ideas from curriculum documents
Science Understanding
Different types of chemical reactions are used to produce a range of products and can
occur at different rates (ACSSU187)



investigating how chemistry can be used to produce a range of useful
substances such as fuels, metals and pharmaceuticals
predicting the products of different types of simple chemical reactions using
word or symbol equations to represent chemical reactions
investigating the effect of a range of factors, such as temperature and
catalysts, on the rate of chemical reactions
The atomic structure and properties of elements are used to organise them in the
Periodic Table (ACSSU186)



recognising that elements in the same group of the periodic table have
similar properties
describing the structure of atoms in terms of electron shells
explaining how the electronic structure of an atom determines its position in
the periodic table and its properties
investigating the chemical activity of metals

Science as a Human Endeavour
Scientific understanding, including models and theories, are contestable and are refined
over time through a process of review by the scientific community (ACSHE191)

investigating the development of the periodic table and how this was
dependent on experimental evidence at the time
Science Inquiry Skills
Questioning and predicting
Planning and conducting
Processing and analysing data and information
Evaluating
Communicating.

DIFFERENTIATION
Students requiring support can…
The learning experiences within this unit can be differentiated by increasing:
• the frequency of exposure for some students
• the intensity of teaching by adjusting the group size
• the duration needed to complete tasks and assessment
Students requiring extension can…
For guided and/or independent practice tasks:
• student groupings will offer tasks with a range of complexities to cater for individual learning needs
• rotational groupings that allow for more or less scaffolding of student learning
