Matter Unit

 

Grade Level Expectations

 

  1. Identify questions that can be answered through scientific investigation.

 

 

  1. Identify independent and dependent variables, and those variables that are kept                       constant, when designing an experiment.

 

 

  1. Use appropriate tools and techniques to make observations and gather data.

 

 

  1. Materials can be classified as pure substances or mixtures, depending on their    chemical and physical properties.

 

 

  1. Describe the properties of common elements, such as oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, iron and aluminum.

 

  1. Describe how the properties of simple compounds, such as water and table salt, are different from the properties of the elements of which they are made.
  1. Mixtures are made of combinations of elements and/or compounds, and they can be separated by using a variety of physical means.
  1. Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, and they cannot be broken down by physical means.

Compare mixtures and compounds using 3 examples.

q        TTQA

q        Mixtures retain their own properties

q        Mixtures  combine physically (physical change); compounds chemically

q        Mixtures are separated physically (physical change); compounds chemically

 

Use properties of water and saltwater to determine unknown substance

q        TTQA

q        Describes a method using a property of water

q        Describes the outcome (what to compare and look for)
