Chemical comprehension

This KS3 Chemistry resource could be used as an introduction to chemical reactions.

Students read a piece of text and use it to answer ten questions. The answers are contained within the text.

Before reading the questions ask students to skim read the text and decide what it is about. Ask them to identify and highlight any important keywords. Students could be encouraged to highlight the text as they answer the questions. The questions could be used as discussion points with the class.
