Properties of materials (observing nature and everyday objects)


Cambridge LO: 7Cp.01 Understand that all substances have chemical and physical properties.
7Cp.05 Describe common differences between metals and non-metals, referring to their physical properties.
7Cp.06 Understand that alloys are mixtures that have different chemical and physical properties from the constituent substances.

How to Teach It: Demo


Compare different materials (wood, metal, stone, plastic) by touching, observing, and feeling their weight, hardness, or flexibility.
Show different alloys (steel, brass) and ask guiding questions about their relevance over metals (copper and iron)
Show the exacto knife blade breaks when bent but iron nail does not even when beaten with hammer
Heat a metal spoon and a wooden spoon over a flame to feel which one conducts heat better.
Real-Life Connections:
Visit a blacksmith or metal workshop to observe how metals are shaped and hardened.

3. Acids and bases (observing natural changes, not pH values yet)


Cambridge LO: 7Cp.02 Understand that the acidity or alkalinity of a substance is a chemical property.
7Cp.03 Use indicators (including Universal Indicator and litmus) to distinguish between acidic, alkaline and neutral solutions.

How to Teach It: Demo


Cleaning copper vessels with lemon juice to demonstrate acids have corrosive effects when reacting
Make natural indicators using red cabbage juice, turmeric, beetroot.
Fizzing Lemon experiment -chemical reaction when an acid (lemon juice) comes into contact with a base (baking soda)

4. Combustion and air (observing fire and gases in everyday life)


Cambridge LO: 7Cc.01 Identify whether a chemical reaction has taken place through observations of the loss of reactants and/or the formation of products.
7Cp.04 Use tests to identify hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen gases. Oxygen and co2 input and output - combustion. Hydrogen- fuel giving quick combustion compared to slow combustion of paper fuel.

How to Teach It: Demo


Observe a candle burning—cover it with a glass to see how oxygen is needed for combustion.
Blow air into limewater (calcium hydroxide in water) to see how carbon dioxide turns it cloudy.
Drop an iron nail into water to observe rust forming over time.
Making hydrogen gas -sodium hydroxide and aluminium, gas collected in balloon and igniting it to explode

5. Mixtures vs pure substances (observing and separating materials)


Cambridge LO: 7Cm.04 Describe the differences between elements, compounds and mixtures, including alloys as an example of a mixture.
7Cp.07 Use the particle model to explain the difference in hardness between pure metals and their alloys.

How to Teach It: Demo


Mix sand and water, sugar and water, oil and water- observe what dissolves and what does not
Filter muddy water through a cloth or paper filter.
Extract salt from salty water
Jaggery making from sugarcane juice-must be tried first before demonstration
Real-Life Connections:
Compare pure iron and alloy like steel- why are some metals softer and others stronger?
Discuss how salt is made (from seawater)
