Section outline

  • Understanding about science

    • Understand that scientists’ investigations are informed by current scientific theories and aim to collect evidence that will be interpreted through processes of logical argument.

    Investigating in science

    • Develop and carry out more complex investigations, including using models.
    • Show an increasing awareness of the complexity of working scientifically, including recognition of multiple variables.
    • Begin to evaluate the suitability of the investigative methods chosen. 

    Communicating in science

    • Use a wider range of science vocabulary, symbols, and conventions.
    • Apply their understandings of science to evaluate both popular and scientific texts (including visual and numerical literacy).

    Participating and contributing

    • Develop an understanding of socio-scientific issues by gathering relevant scientific information in order to draw evidence-based conclusions and to take action where appropriate.

    MATERIAL WORLD

    Properties and changes of matter

    • Investigate the chemical and physical properties of different groups of substances, for example, acids and bases, fuels, and metals.
    • Distinguish between pure substances and mixtures and between elements and compounds.

     

    Learning Intentions:

    We are exploring the periodic table - arrangement of elements in a periodic manner.

    We are learning about Elements, molecules, compounds, mixtures and properties of elements.

    Success criteria: I can

    • write the chemical symbols and formulas of some common elements, molecules & compounds
    • differentiate between Elements, molecules, compounds, mixtures and properties of elements.

    Activities

    Watch the slide show presentation and videos on the on the periodic table.

    Complete the activities on Google Classroom and submit online.
