Term 4 Week 1

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the topic of Mātai matū ( Chemistry) within the context of Halloween by observing the states of matter and how particles are arranged, their movement and how these change states.
• We are EXPLORING the topic of Mātai matū ( Chemistry) within the context of Halloween by identifying the differences and classifying between the types of matter: elements, mixtures and compounds by investigating their properties and experimenting
• We are EXPLORING the topic of Mātai matū ( Chemistry) within the context of Halloween by locating common elements on the periodic table, recognising their properties and discovering patterns between their locations on periodic table and why they are organised this way.

Kia Ora ākonga, and welcome back to Term 4!! Our context this term is Halloween so we will be learning chemistry and some human biology through this! 

Plan for this week is as follows: Atoms, Elements, Compounds and Mixtures 

Tuesday: Chemistry title page, KWL chart- what is matter, Brainpop activity 

Wednesday: Elements, Mixtures and compounds activity 

Thursday:  Scientific literacy and Elements, Mixtures and compounds activity 

Success Criteria: I can/have...

1. To define an element, compound and mixture

2. To classify materials as elements, compounds or mixtures using information provided
