Grade 10 Science Q3 - Science of Materials
-featured.png)
This Grade 10, Philippines-aligned course explores chemical reactions through observation, pH testing, reaction classification, and equation balancing. Students study combustion, photosynthesis, corrosion, and kinetics, learning how temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts affect rates and energy flow. Emphasis on hands-on investigations, data interpretation, and real-world applications prepares learners for higher-level science and practical problem solving.

What you'll learn
- Describe and observe at least four specific indicators (color change, precipitate formation, gas release, or temperature change) that signal a chemical reaction has successfully taken place.
- Identify and classify common household and laboratory chemicals (e.g., vinegar, baking soda, saline solution) as acids, bases, or salts using various natural and synthetic indicators.
- Classify given chemical reactions accurately into one of the four main types: combination, decomposition, single displacement, and double displacement.
- Write, interpret, and apply the principles of the Law of Conservation of Mass to successfully balance chemical equations in both word and formula form.
- Explain how five essential chemical reactions (combustion, photosynthesis, respiration, acids on metals, and acids on carbonates) critically impact both the natural ecosystem and human-built infrastructure.
- Explain how four key factors (temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts) affect the speed of a reaction and identify whether a given reaction is exothermic (releases energy) or endothermic (absorbs energy).
