[Contributor - Aasma Ahmad]

Objective: To teach students about Carbon and its compounds

Subtopics to be covered:

  1. Carbon
  2. Properties of Carbon (allotropes, solubility and action with oxygen)
  3. Carbon dioxide
  4. Methane

Learning Outcome:

  1. Students know about the element carbon and its properties
  2. They know about carbon allotropes like diamond and graphite
  3. They also know about compounds of carbon – Carbon dioxide and Methane

1) Take a piece of wood, fruit seed or some feathers and heat it. Observation: Slowly the color changes to black. Upon getting charred they all turn black.

Therefore we can conclude that all plant and animal products contain carbon.


2) Hold lighted candle in a gas jar. Observation: The gas jar gets filled with CO2 and extinguishes the burning candle that suggests that C02 neither burns nor does it support burning.
