WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE COMPLETE ACTIVITY
⚠️ This adapted Chemistry activity was designed to teach Inorganic Compounds — Acids, Bases, Salts, and Oxides — to students who are in the process of learning to read and write and need visual support, clear instructions, and activities with reduced reading and writing demands.
The activity connects chemical concepts to substances found in everyday life, using word formation, image matching, chemical formula identification, and worked examples.
7 adapted questions + complete answer key, distributed across 3 activity pages.
The sequence begins with recognizing the names of inorganic compound categories, progresses to classifying substances, and concludes with identifying chemical symbols and elements.
Especially suitable for Middle School and High School students who are in the process of learning to read and write, depending on their curricular adaptation needs.
It may be particularly helpful for students with:
Mild Intellectual Disabilities who need structured examples, repetition of concepts, and visual support.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who may benefit from explicit instructions and organized activities.
ADHD who experience difficulties with attention, memorization, and identifying relevant information.
Reading and writing difficulties who need word recognition, matching, and word-completion activities.
The material can also support Chemistry, Science, and Specialized Educational Support (AEE) teachers.

Inorganic compound categories: Recognizing the groups ACIDS, BASES, SALTS, and OXIDES.
Classification of substances: Identifying HCl, Mg(OH)₂, NaCl, and CO₂.
Chemistry in everyday life: Connecting substances to products and examples such as gastric juice, milk of magnesia, table salt, and sparkling water.
Acids and bases: Recognizing the formation of H₃O⁺ and the release of OH⁻ in water.
Hydroxyl group: Identifying the OH group in the formula Mg(OH)₂.
Salts: Recognizing NaCl as the chemical formula for sodium chloride.
Oxides: Identifying carbon and oxygen in the formula CO₂.
The activity follows a progressive learning sequence, beginning with word recognition and advancing toward an introductory understanding of chemical formulas and symbols.
In the first question, students combine syllables to form the Portuguese words ÁCIDO (ACID), BASE (BASE), and ÓXIDO (OXIDE), while also recognizing the word SAIS (SALTS).
In the second question, students use a word bank to classify four substances: HCl, Mg(OH)₂, NaCl, and CO₂.
In the third question, students match each substance to an everyday product or example, connecting hydrochloric acid to gastric juice, magnesium hydroxide to milk of magnesia, sodium chloride to table salt, and carbon dioxide to sparkling water.
In the fourth question, students refer to worked examples involving acids and bases to identify H₃O⁺ and OH⁻, recognizing differences between these inorganic compound categories.
In the fifth question, students observe the formula Mg(OH)₂, circle the OH group, and trace the Portuguese word HIDROXILA (HYDROXYL), integrating chemical recognition with early writing skills.
In the sixth question, students identify NaCl as the chemical formula for sodium chloride, selecting the correct answer from four options.
In the seventh question, students observe the formula CO₂ and recognize the elements carbon and oxygen, connecting their names to the chemical symbols C and O.
The activity supports scientific vocabulary recognition, matching substances to everyday products, identifying chemical formulas, and developing early reading and writing skills, with visual support and teacher guidance.
