Section outline

  • Success Criteria:

    1) Define and give examples of ductile, brittle, malleable, conductivity, lustre, density, magnetic and dull

    2) Investigate the properties of different materials to determine the common properties of metals and non-metals

    3) Start to compare elements, molecules and compounds as we begin to explore chemical reactions


    Activities

    1) In-class practicals on properties of materials (2 lesson)

    2) Use molymods to make and compare different chemicals 

    3) Link the properties of materials to building space ships and  using rocket fuel

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING...how the solar system was formed by investigating the behaviour of the materials planets are made of
    • We are EXPLORING... rockets by observing and testing different rocket designs
