Term 4 Week 2

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, 

This week we will be looking at the atomic structure. Plan for the week is as follows: 

Tuesday: Edible atomic structure activity and written work 

Wednesday: Relief: Familiarising with the periodic table and some of the key elements. You will be working on the worksheet on Google classroom with the reliever. 

Thursday: Making marble paper experiment 

Success Criteria: I can understand

• • •The structure of an atom
  • •About the relative size of the nucleus
  • •That atoms of a given element have the same number of protons in the nucleus
  • •The meaning of the terms ‘atomic number’ and ‘mass number’

  
  

  
  

• Key words: atom, nucleus, protons, neutrons, electrons, atomic number, mass number, element, periodic table, groups, period
