Tracking 1, S3 Chemistry

Level 3 Progress 4

I can explain why we use the average rate to measure how quickly a chemical reaction takes place.

I can calculate the average rate of a chemical reaction using the correct equation and units.

I can calculate the average rate of a reaction at different stages to show how the reaction slows down over time.

Level 3 Progress 3

I can describe different ways to make chemical reactions happen faster or slower.

I can explain why it is important to control the speed of chemical reactions and give examples of how this affects everyday life.

I can use Collision Theory to explain how factors such as temperature, concentration and surface area affect the speed of chemical reactions.

Level 3 Progress 2

I can follow the progress of a chemical reaction by measuring changes in mass, volume and other measurements.

I can use graphs to identify when a chemical reaction is happening at its fastest rate.

I can use graphs to recognise when a chemical reaction has finished.

Level 3 Progress 1

I can explain that a chemical reaction happens when substances react together to form new substances.

I can give examples of everyday chemical reactions.

I can identify signs of a chemical reaction, such as a change in colour, gas being produced or a change in energy (for example, a temperature change).
