In Grade 10 Science we have started the term building on our knowledge of the periodic table, with a focus on ionic and covalent bonding of atoms.

Students have started learning about how to balance chemical equations to reflect the conservation of mass during a chemical reaction. Students have also been focusing on developing the ability to write both word and formula equations to represent chemical reactions, including the relevant states of matter. 

We will then focus on types of chemical reactions and the various factors which can affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
