Assignment brief Unit number and title Unit 1 Chemistryand Our Earth Qualification Level 2 BTEC FirstCertificate inAppliedScience Start date Deadline date Assessor Assignment title Assignment 2: How Physical Properties of Substances Determine Their Uses (P2, M2) The purpose of this assignment is to: Enable you to witness that certain chemicals are employed for appropriate jobs due to their properties. Scenario As part of the councils directive that the school is to help the community, you will be given materials from local companies ***, you will need to present your findings to these businesses showing how the physical properties of some of their materials, determine how they are used. Task 1 Carry out a practical investigation, the method will be given to, into the physical properties of chemicals copper, glass and brick; complete a results table and write a conclusion linking the physical properties to uses of these chemicals This provides evidence for P2 Task 2 Use data given in the table provided; say if the chemicals are a solid, liquid or gas at room temperature and pressure, r.t.p. This provides evidence for P2 Task 3 Explain why bricks are used in the construction industry, copper wire is used by electricians and glass is used for windows, in terms of the physical properties of the chemicals This provides evidence for M2 Sources of information Textbooks Beech J, Milward CandSochacki F BTECLevel 2 First Applied Science ActiveTeach CD ROM (Pearson, 2010) ISBN 9781846906114 Brain C, Goodfellow D, Hocking S, LlewellynR, Kitchin C, Mathews J, Musa 1 andRhodes P BTECLevel 2 First Applied Science Student Book (Pearson, 2010) ISBN 9781846906091 Cogill A, Gale P, Hocking S, LlewellynR, Musa I, Rhodes P, Saunders N andWinterbottomM BTECLevel 2 First Applied Science Teaching Planning Pack (Pearson, 2010) ISBN 9781846906107 Arnold B (editor) GCSE Science for Edexcel:Science Student Book (Collins Educational, 2006) ISBN 9780007214488 Bell C, Brodie D, Dawson B andTiernanA GCSE Applied Science for Edexcel: Teacher Pack (Folens, 2006) ISBN 9781843039747 ConoleyC Edexcel GCSE Chemistry (Hodder Arnold, 2009) ISBN9780340914793 Hubbard L The Essential Chemical Industry (Chemical IndustryEducationCentre, 1999) ISBN 9781853425776 Hutchings K Classic ChemistryExperiments (The Royal Societyof Chemistry, 2000) ISBN 9780854049196 NuffieldCurriculum Centre TwentyFirst Century Science:GCSE ChemistryTextbook (OUP, 2006) ISBN 9780199150502
