Interactions within the Universe
Activities in this unit focus on the structure and components of the universe and the cyclical nature and relationships that exist among these components. Major topics include chemistry, components of the universe, and components of the solar system.
The First Nine Weeks will mainly focus on Chemistry. Students will get to perform labs and learn all about the Periodic Table & Atoms!
Chemistry
Chemistry
Enduring Understandings
All atoms are made of subatomic particles which determine properties.
The periodic table is an organization of elements based on properties.
Chemical reactions follow the law of conservation of mass.
Essential Questions
How does the unique structure of each element contribute to the organization of the periodic table of elements?
How are types of elements chosen for specific product manufacturing?
Is there a better way to organize the elements on the periodic table?
How is the law of conservation of mass observed in everyday life?
