    MHJC Learning Framework Step:
    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… construct scientific diagram to demonstrate the subatomic structure of elements.
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… produce scientific diagram to justify the different forms of matter whether they are elements, mixtures, or compounds.
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… solve chemical equations using correct chemical symbols and formulae.
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… hypothesise if a solution or substance is an acid or base as we collaborate and practise the acidity testing.


    Success Criteria: (Students can...)

    • identify element atom and molecule
    • describe the atomic particles and their properties
    • identify elements by their proper scientific names and symbols
    • write a number of common compounds using chemical formulae
    • read and understand simple chemical equation
