year 7 Chemistry topics

In Year 7 Chemistry you will learn that everything is made of particles and how these particles move and change. You will learn about what happens when chemicals react.

If you think you know everything about Year 7 Chemistry try the Chemistry Mega Quiz.
7F simple chemical reactions
7g solids, liquids and gases
7h solutions

7e acids and alkalis

In this unit you will learn about acids and alkalis. You will carry out experiments with these chemicals, including neutralization.

Here are the learning objectives for this topic.

I can
  • Use universal indicator to measure pH
  • Use litmus to find out if something is acidic or alkaline
  • Make an indicator from fruits, vegetables or flowers
  • Name common acids and alkalis
  • Name acids and alkalis in the lab
  • Name several different ways we use neutralisation

I understand
  • That the pH shows the acidity or alkalinity of something
  • That neutral substances have a pH of 7
  • That acidic substances have a pH of 6 or less
  • That alkaline substances have a pH of 8 or more
  • How acid rain forms
  • The problems that acid rain causes
  • Neutralization
  • What is formed in neutralisation
