Integrated Physics and Chemistry Unit 2

Big Idea:

Learning the parts of matter and how matter is classified

Student Expectations:

Priority TEKS

I.6(A) examine differences in physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases as explained by the arrangement and motion of atoms or molecules

I.6(B) relate chemical properties of substances to the arrangement of their atoms

I.6(C) analyze physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds such as color, density, viscosity, buoyancy, boiling point, freezing point, conductivity, and reactivity;

I.7(A) investigate changes of state as it relates to the arrangement of particles of matter and energy transfer

Student Learning Targets:

I will know how fluids such as air, oil, water, and shampoo behave.

• I can make measurements of mass & volume.
• I can use mass & volume measurements to calculate density.
• I can compare viscosities of fluids.
• I can define buoyancy.
• Using my knowledge of buoyancy, I can decide if an object will float or sink in water

I will know that all of the matter in the world can be classified into 3 categories

• I can describe properties of elements
• I can give examples of compounds and the properties of compounds
• I can summarize properties of mixtures including the terms heterogeneous and homogeneous
• I can place matter into the categories of element, compounds, and mixtures
• I can explain how the particles in solids, liquids, & gases move differently to account for their physical properties.
• I can react matter in lab to show chemical properties

I will tell when matter is undergoing a physical change.

• I can explain how particles of matter move when a substance is changed between the solid, liquid, & gas phases.
• I can heat or cool matter in lab to show physical properties.
• I can explain what happens to the energy of particles when a substance is changed between the solid, liquid, & gas phases
