I can say that some household substances are acids and some are not .e.g vinegar is acid

I can name some common acids and alkalis and state that not all acids are hazardous

I can state that acids turn Universal indicator red and alkalis turn it blue

I can name the hazard symbols for ‘harmful’, ‘irritant’ and ‘corrosive’

I can state that when an acid is added to an alkali, neutralisation takes place

I can describe that when an indicator changes colour with an acid or an alkali, the colour indicates the pH number

I can describe everyday uses of acids and alkalis and neutralisation

I can describe the good uses of acids and alkalis and the hazards

I can describe how to work safely with acids and alkalis and what to do if a spill occurs

I can explain how to get a neutral solution, using an acid or an alkali

I can explain that how acids and alkalis are used is linked to their pH and how much of a hazard they are

I can explain that if I add water to an acid (or alkali) spill, it will dilute the acid (or alkali) and so it is less of a hazard
