Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Apply basic chemical concepts relevant to metallurgical processes
  • Use Boyle’s and Charles’ laws to determine the relationship between volume, temperature and pressure for a gas
  • Identify the relationship between temperature and the kinetic energy of particles
       
Element: Contrast the physical properties of crystalline solids
  • Categorise solids from their physical properties
  • Relate the physical properties of crystalline solids to the nature of the forces between particles
       
Element: Identify the key chemical properties of metals
  • Determine the activity of metals and other key properties in terms of their position on the Periodic Table
  • Determine the importance of first ionisation energy in determining the relative reactivity of metals
       
Element: Define the key chemical properties of acids and bases
  • Identify acids and bases
  • Define relationship between an acid and its conjugate base and a base and its conjugate acid
  • Identify salts which form acidic, basic or neutral solutions and explain their acidic, neutral or basic nature
  • Define and identify strong and weak acids and bases
       
Element: Analyse chemical reactions
  • Determine chemical reactions using appropriate balanced chemical equations
  • Determine the heat of reaction in chemical reactions
  • Define the factors affecting reaction rate including concentration, surface area, pressure, temperature and catalysis
  • Use the stoichiometry of a reaction to determine the amounts of reactants consumed or products made
       

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
