Outcomes
SCN 2-15a
By contributing to investigations into familiar changes in substances to produce other substances, I can describe how their characteristics have changed.
SCN 2-16a
I have participated in practical activities to separate simple mixtures of substances and can relate my findings to my everyday experience.
SCN 2-16b
By investigating common conditions that increase the amount of substance that will dissolve or the speed of dissolving, I can relate my findings to the world around me.
SCN 2-17a
Having explored the substances that make up Earth’s surface, I can compare some of their characteristics and uses.
SCN 2-18a
I have investigated different water samples from the environment and explored methods that can be used to clean and conserve water and I am aware of the properties and uses of water.
SCN 2-19a
I have collaborated in activities which safely demonstrate simple chemical reactions using everyday chemicals. I can show an appreciation of a chemical reaction as being a change in which different materials are made.

Outcomes
SCN 3-15a
I have developed my knowledge of the Periodic Table by considering the properties and uses of a variety of elements relative to their positions.
SCN 3-15b
Having contributed to a variety of practical activities to make and break down compounds, I can describe examples of how the properties of compounds are different from their constituent elements.
SCN 3-16a
I can differentiate between pure substances and mixtures in common use and can select appropriate physical methods for separating mixtures into their components.
SCN 3-16b
I have taken part in practical investigations into solubility using different solvents and can apply what I have learned to solve everyday practical problems.
SCN 3-17a
Through evaluation of a range of data, I can describe the formation, characteristics and uses of soils, minerals and basic types of rocks.
SCN 3-17b
I can participate in practical activities to extract useful substances from natural resources.
SCN 3-18a
Having taken part in practical activities to compare the properties of acids and bases, I have demonstrated ways of measuring and adjusting pH and can describe the significance of pH in everyday life.
SCN 3-19a
Through experimentation, I can identify indicators of chemical reactions having occurred. I can describe ways of controlling the rate of reactions and can relate my findings to the world around me.
SCN 3-19b
I have helped to design and carry out practical activities to develop my understanding of chemical reactions involving the Earth’s materials. I can explain how we apply knowledge of these reactions in practical ways.

Outcomes
SCN 4-15a
Through gaining an understanding of the structure of atoms and how they join, I can begin to connect the properties of substances with their possible structures.
SCN 4-16a
I have carried out research into novel materials and can begin to explain the scientific basis of their properties and discuss the possible impacts they may have on society.
SCN 4-16b
Through evaluation of experimental results, I can demonstrate my understanding of conservation of mass.
SCN 4-17a
I have explored how different materials can be derived from crude oil and their uses. I can explain the importance of carbon compounds in our lives.
SCN 4-18a
I can monitor the environment by collecting and analysing samples. I can interpret the results to inform others about levels of pollution and express a considered opinion on how science can help to protect our environment.
SCN 4-19a
I can collect and analyse experimental data on chemical reactions that result in an obvious change in energy. I can apply my findings to explain the significance of the energy changes associated with chemical reactions.
SCN 4-19b
Having carried out a range of experiments using different chemicals, I can place metals in an order of reactivity, and relate my findings to their everyday uses.
