Unit 06 Classifying Matter

I understand that classifying matter helps me to understand what objects are made of.

Target 06-01 The student will classify matter into elements, compounds, and mixtures.

“I can” statements:

        06-01 a: I can use the Periodic Table to determine if a given substance is an element.

06-01 b: I can compare and contrast elements and compounds in terms of components, component ratios, component separation, and properties of components

06-01 c: Compare and contrast compounds and mixtures in terms of components, component ratios, component separation, and properties of components.

06-01 d: Use descriptions and properties to classify materials as element, compound, or mixture.

Target 06 - 02  The student will use the alphabet of chemistry to name elements and write their symbols. (40 elements and their symbols).

“I can” statements:

06-02 a: Given the symbol of the element, write the name of the element using correct spelling

06-02 b: Given the name of the element, correctly draw the symbol for the element.

06-02 c: Explain the origin of element symbols.

Target 06 - 03  The student will classify elements as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

     “I can” statements:

06-03 a: Use the periodic Table and properties such as malleability, conductivity, phase at room temperature, physical appearance, magnetism, and reactivity, to classify elements as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids (semiconductors).

06-03 b: Predict the properties of a material based on its classification

Targets that are reemphasized:

Target 04-01 Describe the physical and chemical properties and physical and chemical changes matter undergoes.
