Changes

This is a unit designed to cover the Australian National Curriculum for Year 6 Chemical Science Students investigate how materials change, and how those changes can be reversible or irreversible.

6 x 1 hour lessons

Cross curriculum

21x resources/worksheets

Overview

In this unit students will learn:

What happens when materials are mixed
The change in state caused by heating and cooling of a familiar substance
Irreversible changes such as rusting, burning and cooking
How reversible changes can be used to recycle materials
About reversible reactions, such as melting, freezing and evaporating

Lessons

Introduction to Changes

Introduction to Changes

In this lesson, students will learn that changes can be physical and reversible or chemical and irreversible.

In this lesson, students will learn about mixtures.

Chemical Reactions

Chemical Reactions

In this lesson, students will look at examples of chemical reactions.

Physical Changes

Physical Changes

In this lesson, students will learn how materials go through physical changes when energy is added or taken away.

Chemical Changes

Chemical Changes

In this lesson, students will learn that through chemical reactions materials go through chemical changes that are often irreversible.

Mystery Materials

Mystery Materials

In this lesson, students will undertake lab tests to find the identity of a mystery material.
