Section outline

  • Week 4: This week we only had two lessons due to student led conferences on Friday. We continued our exploration of Matter.

    Learning intention: Same as previous week. See slide above.

    Success criteria: Same as previous week. See slide above.

    Key word list: See slide above as we start working through this.


    Activities we did in class: 

    • Started developing an understanding of key terms, for example: Matter, atoms, elements, molecules and compounds
      – these terms that can be confusing to learn.
    • Consulted Google and Youtube to assist us in our learning.
    • Reflected on our earlier learning to try and make connections and to identify our learning gaps - completed a class check-in quiz.
    • Starting learning about how to write in science - writing to describe, explain and discuss type questions.
      Learning to write more than one sentence and to justify and support our answers with knowledge and examples.
    • Added another word into the list - mixture. How does a mixture differ from a compound?
    • Practised counting atoms in compounds.
