Subject outcome
Subject outcome 6.2: Differentiate between physical and chemical change
Learning outcomes
- Identify and distinguish between physical and chemical changes and give examples.
- Identify and apply physical and chemical methods of separating mixtures (solids, liquids, and gases).
Range: Separation methods are manual, magnetic, filtration, fractional distillation, using a separating funnel, precipitation reactions and chromatography.
