Week+1+(Unit+2)

//How do scientists classify matter? 1. Daily Catalyst Students will respond to the prompt: "The table shows different materials that have been sorted into two groups. Which of the following characteristics could have been used to sort the materials? a. solubility in water, b. compressibility, c. physical state, d. electrical conductivity."
 * =**Thursday, October 29**=

2. Introduction to Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures Objective:

3. Begin Project with Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures Objective: // //
 * 1) Students will create a PowerPoint of 26 everyday things from A-Z and will classify each things as an element, a compound, or a mixture.
 * 2) Mr. Smith will provide 6 examples (2 each of elements, compounds, and mixtures).
 * A > Atmosphere: mixture of gases and some liquids/solids (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ozone)
 * B > Boron: element
 * C > Coffee: mixture of liquid water (a compound), sugar (a compound), and different acids (compounds)
 * S > Sugar: (also called sucrose) compound of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen-- C12H22O11
 * T > Table Salt: compound of sodium and chloride--NaCl
 * Z > Zinc: element
 * 1) Students must include at least 5 examples of each. (The other 5 things are flexible).
 * 2) Students must include a description of a physical property and a chemical property of each ELEMENT.
 * 3) Students must include a description of the elements that make up each COMPOUND that shows the ratios of each element.
 * 4) Students must include a description of the states of the matter and **at least two** examples of elements and/or compounds in the MIXTURE.

//Homework// Students will use before and during reading strategies to examine a text about chemical reactions in a glow stick

||  || //How do scientists classify matter? 1. Daily Catalyst Students will respond to the prompt: "Sugar is made up of many molecules. When sugar is dissolved in water, what happens to these molecules? Explain. A. They no longer exist. B. They exist in solution. C. They evaporate. D. They combine with water to form new elements."
 * =Friday, October 30**=

2. Review texts from homework assignments
 * Students will respond to a writing prompt that requires them to consider the common themes in two of the homework passages (Tuesday night--thermometers; Wednesday night--SI units of measurement): "According to the passage why did scientists develop SI units of measurement? In what ways were they similarly motivated to create a tool like the thermometer? Why do scientists use tools and units of measurement?"

3. Continue Project with Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures //

Homework Students will use after reading strategies to re-examine a text about chemical reactions in a glow stick
