New topic!

Year 9s!

We will be starting a new topic on Monday (15th October) about metals.

If you want to do some preparatory reading for the topic go to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/chemical_material_behaviour/acids_bases_metals/revise1.shtml

This will give you information about acids, alkalis, metals & the reactions between them.

We will be completing the tests for this topic on Bitesize later on but feel free to have a go at them now.
