Content description
Chemical reactions, including combustion and the reactions of acids, are important in both non-living and living systems and involve energy transfer
Elaborations
- investigating reactions of acids with metals, bases, and carbonates
- investigating a range of different reactions to classify them as exothermic or endothermic
- recognising the role of oxygen in combustion reactions and comparing combustion with other oxidation reactions
- comparing respiration and photosynthesis and their role in biological processes
- describing how the products of combustion reactions affect the environment
