Chemistry For Grade 6

Introduction

Class 6 Chemistry introduces students to fundamental concepts that lay a strong foundation for understanding matter and its interactions. Students explore the properties of solids, liquids and gases, learn about changes in the states of matter and the role of heat in these changes. They study mixtures and solutions, differentiating between physical and chemical changes. Basic atomic structure, elements, compounds and the periodic table are introduced to develop an understanding of chemical composition. Through hands-on experiments, students investigate acids, bases and simple chemical reactions, fostering curiosity and critical thinking in science.
