Described the issue that you have chosen
Who is affected?
-More than 150,000 young people ask for help with homelessness every year. Causes of homelessness are family arguments, Relationship arguments, Or being told or kicked out of their home, family violence.
What are the issues?
-The lack of shelter, coupled with food insecurity (not knowing where the next meal is coming from), only makes it more difficult for those experiencing homelessness to get back on their feet.
When and how did this start?
-Decreased because of all the company’s helping these there are in need for a cozy nonviolent house with fresh food and water Increased because all the war and conflict in the world and people being involved in violent ways and treated differently to others and with bills and rates and wages for houses have gone up a lot of people can’t afford it and or have lost their job.
Where is it happening?
-The poverty is common include in Southeast Asia, India , and South America ( Third world Countries).
Why is this happening?
-Because people are having tragic life occurrences like family fights, relationship breakdowns, loss of loved ones, job loss Other stuff like depression, untreated mental illness, traumatic stress, disorders and physical disabilities are a why a large amount of people in the world are homeless.
Then we had to say what we plan to do to help solve this issue
-We want to make a difference in our community by providing homeless people with jobs and a nice place to stay and make a difference in their lives.

Making another salt
Aim:
To make copper sulfate crystals (salt) by neutralising copper oxide (base) with a sulfuric acid (HSO)
Method:
Follow the method on Page 39 of your Scipad book.
Observations: (write an observation for each key stage of the process - full sentences please)
1.when we added the base to the acid in changed from red to green
2.
3.
Results:
Add 3 photos for the final stages of the experiment to illustrate the process.
Conclusion: (write a single sentence as conclusion - remember to look at your aim and write your conclusion as a response to your aim)

Year 10 Practical assessment - Acids and Bases
Year 10
Practical Assessment – Chemistry – Acids and Bases
Aim:
To measure the pH of several solids and liquids using universal indicator solution and a pH pen
Equipment:
Spotting tile
Universal indicator solution
Samples of several solids and liquids
pH pen
Method:
1. Take two samples of each solid/liquid to be tested and arrange on your spotting tile.
(If you are testing a solid add a drop of water and mix it before adding indicator)
2. Place one drop of universal indicator on ONE of each sample.
3. Use the pH pen to measure the pH of the other sample of each substance
Results:
Insert a photograph for each step you took in your method – see your teacher if you don’t have a phone.

Conclusion:
Write two or three sentences comparing the results from using universal indicator and the pH pen. Do they all agree?
Write a sentence saying which method
(universal indicator or pH pen is more useful when you are testing a coloured solution eg fruit juice)
Making Indicators
Aim: To make and test several indicators to see how their colour changes in acid and base solutions.
Follow the instruction in your book to make and test the indicators.
Fill in this table with your results:

Green and Rainbow challenges
A: Green challenge:
Take a test tube and fill with "two fingers" of the base. Now see the teacher for three drops of universal indicator.

Using indicators to test some random substances from around our homes
Aim:
To use indicators to test various substances around home to see if they are acids or bases.
Method:
1. Set up your spotting tile with 12 substances from your teacher.
To use indicators to test various substances around home to see if they are acids or bases.
Method:
1. Set up your spotting tile with 12 substances from your teacher.
(Use just two drops for any liquid and add two drops of water to the solids before you test them etc. soap powder)
2.Add a single drop of universal indicator to each of the substances.
Put a photo of your completed spotting tile here:
Results:
Draw a table which lets you display your results clearly.
The table should include the name of the substance,
the color with universal indicator and whether it is acids or base and how strong it is.
Acids, Bases and Indicators
Aim: To investigate how indicators change color in acids and bases.
Method:
1. Set up your spotting tile with two drops of acids in the first row of four, two drops of water in the middle row of four
Method:
1. Set up your spotting tile with two drops of acids in the first row of four, two drops of water in the middle row of four
and then 2 drops of base in the last row of four.
2. In the first row of three put a small piece of red litmus paper (tear your strip into three for this),
in the second row put a small piece of blue litmus paper,
in the third row a small piece of universal litmus paper and in the fourth a drop of universal indicator.
in the third row a small piece of universal litmus paper and in the fourth a drop of universal indicator.

Our first Year 10 Chemical Reactions
1. Magnesium reacting with oxygen:
Method: We held a strip of magnesium metal in the hottest part of a bunsen burner flame till it caught fire.
We didn't look directly at the reaction because (safety reason)
Observations:
1. The magnesium metal was a (description - colour, lustre, malleability)
2. The magnesium burned with a (describe what you saw)
3. After it burned (describe what the product looked like)
Include a photo/video of each observation and label them.
The word equation is:
The balanced chemical equation is:
2. Iron filings reacting with sulphur:
Method: We mixed equal amounts of iron filings and sulphur then used a magnet wrapped in paper to separate them.
We mixed them again and added the mixture to a test tube and heated strongly.
Observations:
1. The iron filings were (describe the colour etc)
2. The sulphur was (describe the colour etc)
3, When we heated the tube (describe what happened)
4. After the reaction (describe the product)
