Inquiry Question 1

How can we classify different types of matter based on their observable properties and uses? (7 lessons)

Lesson 1

0. Overview and Review: 1 lesson

Success criteria: I can

describe the actions of particles in the three states of matter
identify the changes of state between the three states of matter
identify the term particle as a general term for atoms and molecules

Tier 3 terms: matter, state, particle = atom/molecule, solid, liquid, gas, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, freezing, melting, boiling

Lesson 2

Quick write (5 minutes):

“When a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, it takes up more space because the particles all get bigger.” Defend or challenge the statement in 3 sentences.

(Do not write Sentence 1 etc)

Defend: if you agree:

Sentence 1: When a liquid changes to a gas, the particles move ______ and become more ______.
Sentence 2: This could suggest the particles get bigger because ______.
Sentence 3: I believe that the statement is ______.

Challenge: if you do NOT agree:

Sentence 1: When a liquid changes to a gas, the particles move ______ and spread ______.
Sentence 2: The particles do not get bigger; instead, they ______.
Sentence 3: I believe that the statement is ______ because ______.

Success criteria: I can:

describe the difference between an atom and an element
identify simple substances as elements, compounds and mixtures based on the arrangement of the atoms present

SST: matter, element, molecule, compound, pure, impure, mixture

Matter is classed based on different arrangements of atoms
