Building Blocks of All Mankind

3. Essential Standards
6.P.2: Understand the structure, classifications and physical properties of matter.

4. Clarifying Objectives
6.P.2.1: Recognize that all matter is made up of atoms and atoms of the same element are all alike, but are different from the atoms of other elements.

5. Essential Questions
What is an atom?
What is an element?

6. Matter
All Galaxies, humans, stars, animals (anything) is composed of matter
Everything is made of matter
Atoms are a type of matter
The smallest matter that everything is composed of is called an atom

7. Physical Properties of Matter
Physical Properties can be observed without changing the identity of the element
Physical Properties of matter are characteristics that been felt, measured or seen…
Color
Odor
Luster
Conductivity
Hardness
Melting Point
Boiling Point
Density (M/V)
Mass
Volume
Weight
Length

8. Chemical Properties of Matter
Chemical Properties refer to an elements ability to change into a new substance
Flammability
Reactivity

9. Galaxies
Scientists estimate that there are about 325 billion different galaxies
Each galaxies has its own set of planets
We live in the Milky Way Galaxy

10. Beginning of Time The Universe explodes into being
Galaxies are created. Trillions of stars line the galaxies
Around one star in one galaxy a blue planet appears

11. Atom

12. Atoms All life stems from atoms
Atoms are the smallest particles of matter that has the same chemical makeup
All matter is made up of atoms

13. Atoms Nucleus- Middle of the atom contains the Protons & Neutrons
Protons (+) Positively charged part of the atom located in the nucleus
Neutrons (no charge) Neutral part of the atom located in the nucleus
Electrons (-) negatively charged located outside the valence

14. Atoms Atoms are too small to be seen through a microscope
If you put billions of the same type of atom together you get an element

15. Essential Questions

What is an atom?

16. Groups of Atoms
Elements, Molecules & Compounds

17. Elements

18. Elements
An element is a substance that is made up of only one kind of atom
The element of iron is different from the element of nickel because their atoms are different
Elements can’t be broken down into something similar

19. Elements
There are about 100 different kinds of elements known to mankind
They are found on the Periodic Table
Elements combine with each other to form Compounds

20. Elements
When elements combine to form compound they can make both living & nonliving organisms

21. Making an Element To make the element gold….
All atoms must be the same (gold atoms)
All the atoms that make up the element must have the same physical & chemical properties

22. Essential Questions
Get with a partner and answer…
What is an element?

23. Earth This blue planet is our Earth
No other known planet has an atmosphere and liquid water which are the two conditions needed for life

24. Molecule

25. Molecules Molecules happen when different atoms are grouped together
Water
H2O…
Two hydrogen atoms
One oxygen atom

27. Compounds
Compounds are combining or putting together many different molecules/elements together
Humans are made up of many different compounds/elements
Humans are made up of 6 basic elements…
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Phosphorus
Sulfur
Nitrogen

28. EOG Questions What is composed of matter?
What is true about the atoms & elements of two magnets when compared to each other?
