Chemistry 1 Agenda

UNIT 1A: PROPERTIES OF MATTER

Mon 9/10

    • Students will discuss reasons for classification.
    • Students will define matter.
    • Students will list physical/chemical properties of matter.
    • Students will understand the importance of identifying properties.

ENGAGE:

Classification Activity

Each group gets a tray of random small objects. Examine/ explore. Look for students sorting.

Have students compare and contrast objects. Complete sentences. Share.

EXPLAIN:

    • Students will measure mass and volume.

PREVIEW:

Listing Activity

Using the "hand-off" method

Wed 9/12

ENGAGE:

Students list properties on the board.

EXPLORE:

Using Googledocs, students work in small groups on a common document discussing properties of cotton socks, plastic socks, metal socks.

REVIEW:

Discuss why properties are important... How did the sock activity demonstrate this? How is this related to systems?

HW--> APPLY:

Students will read about properties.

Workshop model for reading

1. Listen to a "reading" about cleaners.

2. Choose to read from a variety of articles on properties of matter.

Reading #1: Flight

Reading #2: Asbestos

Reading #3: Technology

Reading #4: Bicycles

3. Answer the questions in a Googledoc.

SCI FRI --- What is a Flame?

The fuel loses mass, it turns to a gas. (Oh, yeah!) Pyrolysis!

Before the next change is through, atoms shine blue. Chemiluminescence!

When the process is complete, it gives off heat. Oxidation!

Extra carbon will glow red, orange and yellow. Incandescence!
