1. -What Happens to Matter when it changes?
Standards:
Scaled Goals:
SC.8.P.8.1 Explore the scientific theory of atoms (also known as the atomic theory) by using models to explain the motion of particles in solids, liquids & gases.
SC.8.P.8.3 Explore & describe the densities of various materials through measurement of their masses and volumes.
SC.8.P.8.4 Classify and compare substances on the basis of characteristic physical properties that can be demonstrated or measured: for example: density, thermal or electrical conductivity, solubility, magnetic properties, melting and boiling points, and know that these properties are independent of the amount of the sample
SC.8.P.8.7 Explore the scientific theory of atoms (also known as the atomic theory) by recognizing that atoms are the smallest unit of an element & are composed of sub-atomic particles (electrons surrounding a nucleus containing protons & neutrons)
Student Will Be Able to:
1.0 –Recall and recognize some terminology from 6th and 7th grade. Recognize definitions.
2.0 – Classify substances based on their physical properties and predict the flow of energy by identifying patterns.
3.0 - Draw conclusions through lab and demo observations and construct diagrams to compare examples.
4.0 – Create a tool in a Lab setting to prove the concepts of temperature and density. Analyze how these factors apply to both hypothetical and real situations.
Essential Questions:
-What Happens to Matter when it changes?
-How do particles in solids, liquids and gases move?
-How can physical properties of matter help identify unknown substances?
