year 8 Chemistry topics

In Year 8 Chemistry lessons you will learning more about matter! You will find out about how scientists name and classify different chemicals. you will also learn about the rock cycle. There are only two chemistry topics 8EF and 8GH.
8gH the rock cycle and weathering

8ef elements, mixtures and compounds

Here are the learning objectives for this unit:
I can
  • Name examples of elements, mixtures and compounds
  • Explain the different between elements, mixtures and compounds
  • Decide how to separate a mixture
  • Write word equations for chemical reactions
  • Use symbols to represent elements and compounds
  • State the number of atoms of each type in a compound
  • Use simple symbol equations

I understand that:
  • elements have only one type of atom
  • all elements are listed in the periodic table
  • two or more elements can chemically join to form compounds
  • a mixture is made of two or more elements or compounds that are not chemically joined
  • a mixture is more easily separated into its constituent parts
  • compounds and elements boil at fixed temperatures, mixtures do not
  • a chemical reaction produces new elements or compounds
  • boil, freeze, melt, evaporate and condense describe changes of state (physical changes)

For a challenge do this balancing chemical equations game.

Play this excellent Chemical reactions game from MSI Chicago where you react together elements from the periodic table.

Really interesting website from TED-Ed with a video about all of the elements

Have a look forward to IGCSE Topics on Elements, Mixtures, Compounds

watch this prezi about elements mixtures and compounds. 
Daniel radcliffE is in it!
