Demonstrate understanding of aspects of acids and bases. |
Demonstrate in-depth understanding of aspects of acids and bases |
Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of aspects of acids and bases. |
Demonstrate understanding typically involves describing, identifying, naming, drawing, or giving an account of aspects of acids and bases. This may require the use of chemistry vocabulary, symbols and conventions (including names and formulae), and completing word equations. |
Demonstrate in-depth understanding typically involves explaining aspects of acids and bases. This may require explanations that use chemistry vocabulary, symbols and conventions (including names and formulae) and writing word equations or completing given symbol equations. |
Demonstrate comprehensive understanding typically involves linking aspects of acids and bases. It may involve explaining, elaborating, justifying, relating, evaluating, comparing and contrasting, or analysing. This may require the use of chemistry vocabulary, symbols and conventions (including names and formulae), and writing balanced symbol equations. |
