3. Write down three things you have earnt from this piece of text.
Student Reading Activity
A thousand years ago, Arabic Alchemists (people interested in a connection between religion and science) started to experiment to make new chemicals, including acids. By the eighteenth century, chemists in Europe discovered that some substances like gold and copper, could not be split into simpler substances by mixing them or heating them. These simple substances were called elements.

6. Write down three things you have earnt from this piece of text.
Student Reading Activity part 2
In 1789 the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier ( ) published the first ever table of the elements, with 33 substances in total. Shortly after this, in 1799, the electric battery was invented. This gave scientist a new way to split up chemicals. Lime was split up using electricity in As a result the metal called calcium was discovered. Until this time it had been thought that lime was an element.

7. Antoine’s Table
Learning Activity
Above is Antoine’s table, he classified the elements into four groups – acid/gas/metallic/earthly. There are mistakes in Antoines table, not al of these substances are elements; some aren't even chemicals. Create a list of all the correct elements, you may wish to use your periodic table to help you.
