I can name some common elements, compounds and mixtures and distinguish between representations or models of these; 

I can recognise changes of state in elements and compounds. 

I have a basic knowledge that e.g. ice melts & we can get water and make ice again.

I can describe how some mixtures could be separated.

I know that salt can be got back from salt solution.

I can distinguish between elements, compounds and mixtures.

I can name and describe some common mixtures.

I can identify melting and boiling points as the fixed temperatures at which elements and compounds change state. 

I can name and describe common mixtures and describe ways of separating them

In terms of the particles they contain I can use knowledge about separation techniques to suggest how they might be separated.

I can use the particle model to explain changes of state. 

I can suggest an appropriate method of separating a mixture that is new to me.

I understand that specific compounds are made when elements react.

I can explain the criteria for classifying materials as elements, compounds or mixtures

I can represent some compounds by formulae and explain what these show about the numbers and types of atom present. 

I can describe how mixtures do not change state at fixed temperatures.
