    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING...chemicals that cause pollution and disrupt sustainable systems
    • We are EXPLORING...a problem that might need to be investigated and follow the Scientific Method to solve or answer the problem.
      • FOCUS / ARONGA

      FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

      • We are FOCUSING...developing skills to investigate the structure of chemical substances and their properties
      • We are FOCUSING... developing skills of being able to explain our scientific concepts related to chemistry
    Success Criteria:  I can/have:
    • Be able to differentiate & explain the following terms:
      • atoms, molecules, compounds, and mixtures

    • recall the symbols and names of the first 20 elements of the periodic table
    • differentiate between the terms - Atomic number & Atomic weight
