Year 8 Science

Chemical Structure

During the first topic in Year 8 Science, we have been looking at Chemical Structure, namely atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures. We have discussed the properties of atoms containing protons, electrons and neutrons and have learnt about the Periodic Table.

One practical conducted was looking at properties of metals and non-metals and the fact that metals are good conductors of electricity.

The students are looking forward to doing more practicals on combing elements to make chemical compounds.
