ASSESSMENT TASK NOTIFICATION SUBJECT: Science YEAR GROUP: 10 TASK TITLE: Chemical Reaction - Presentation _______________________ Student Name Submitted To: __________________________ Name of Unit: Chemical World – Chemical Reactions Type of Task: Topic Test Due Date: Tuesday 31st March Term: 1 Week: 10 Weight: 25% OUTCOMES ASSESSED CW3: Chemical reactions involve rearranging atoms to form new substances; during a chemical reaction mass is not created or destroyed. CW4: Different types of chemical reactions are used to produce a range of products and can
- ccur at different rates and involve energy transfer.
WS9: Presents science ideas and evidence for a particular purpose and to a specific audience using appropriate scientific language, conventions and representations. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES Choose ONE important chemical reaction from the list:
- combustion
- acid on a metal
- acid on a carbonate
- corrosion
- precipitation
- neutralisation
- decomposition
Create an ‘advertisement’ selling your chemical reaction. Your presentation can be presented in a variety of ways; a multimedia presentation (no more than 90 seconds) or a slide show, in movie maker, sway, powerpoint or another program, a flip book, a brochure or a poster on A3. Use your class laboratory notes and further research to complete the following for your chosen reaction:
- 1. DEFINE your reaction.
- 2. STATE the word equation and IDENTIFY the reactants and the products of the chemical reaction.
- 3. STATE and EXPLAIN the energy change (where possible): is your reaction exothermic or endothermic?
- 4. IDENTIFY where you would find this reaction in everyday life – in the home, in nature or in industry.
- 5. EXPLAIN how this type of reaction is important to everyday life.
You will be given TWO classroom lessons to research and plan your presentation. You will be given a formative task guide to assist with compiling research that is all you’re your own work. Your formative task will need to be submitted to your teacher with your task on Tuesday the 31st March. The bibliography embedded in your task will need to include your references in the Harvard citation generator. The link is provided here Citation Generator If your presentation is digital, please submit via COMPASS Submission before your Science lesson on Tuesday 31st
- March. If you are having trouble submitting on Compass – you can provide a labelled USB in your lesson.
