Chemistry Term 3 - What a gas
Welcome to Science in Term 3 - it's going to be an explosive term (Groan).
We are looking at Chemistry. We will be learning about the first 20 elements on the Periodic table. You will need to know them off by heart (challenge accepted??) but you will also need to know what they are - what they do - where you find them and so on.
I think you will find this clip by Bill Nye the Science Guy helpful...Write in your book the main points you learn while viewing the clip.
