Memorandum

Groupwork:

Observation: The glowing wooden splinter catches fire because oxygen has been released.

Conclusion: Mercury oxide is a compound that decomposed as a result of heating. It broke up into oxygen (a gas) and mercury (a metal).

Mercury Oxide = mercury + oxygen

Content

Activity: to investigate the breaking up of compounds into simpler substances [lo 1.2, lo 1.3]

Group work:

Do the following experiment in your groups to determine whether mercuric oxide is a compound consisting of elements. Follow the different steps exactly:

  • Pour a small amount of mercuric oxide, which is red in colour, into a test tube.
  • Heat it over a Bunsen burner or the flame of a candle in a well-ventilated room.
  • Wait for the mercuric oxide to turn black and for small droplets of mercury to collect on the cooler side of the test tube.
  • Insert a glowing splinter of wood into the top of the test tube. Observe the reaction that occurs.

Assessment

MARK LEVEL COOPERATIVELEARNING SKILLS VALUES AND ATTITUDES CONTENT
1-34% 1 Each learner learns individually. Participation in the group is destructive, e.g. domineering. No respect for others. Destructive interpersonal relationships (actively negative). Not able to come to meaningful observations and deductions.
35-39 % 2 Does not contribute to the group and forms no meaningful part of it. Not respectful towards others, but this does not affect interpersonal relationships (negatively passive). Observations and deductions fairly sound.
40-69% 3 Acknowledged as a member of the group. Sensitive to the needs of others. Shows consideration for others and understanding of different points of view, but this has no effect on interpersonal relationships (positively passive). Observations and deductions sound.
70-100% 4 Creates opportunities for contributions by other members of the group. Always contributes positively to the group task. Shows consideration for others and understanding of different points of view. Influences interpersonal relationships in a positive way (positively active). Observations and deductions excellent.

Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to act confidently on curiosity about natural phenomena, and to investigate relationships and solve problems in scientific, technological and environmental contexts.

Assessment Standard 1.2: We know this when the learner conducts investigations and collects data: organises and uses apparatus/equipment or sources to gain and record information;

Assessment Standard 1.3: We know this when the learner evaluates data and communicates findings: generalises in terms of relevant aspects and describes how the data support the generalisation.

lack electricity and its more savely than electronic microscope because its naturally by using of light
Abdullahi Reply
advantage of electronic microscope is easily and clearly while disadvantage is dangerous because its electronic. advantage of light microscope is savely and naturally by sun while disadvantage is not easily,means its not sharp and not clear

in what situation (s) would be the use of a scanning electron microscope be ideal and why?
Kenna Reply
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
