Section outline

  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING a number of practical investigations in class so that we can understand and explain why certain elements are considered valuable and what they are ultimately used for in the world
    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the structure of the periodic table and how to interpret it
    • We are EXPLORING the properties of mixtures, elements and compounds by researching and experimentation
    • We are EXPLORING what different elements are made up of and how their characteristics determine how they are used


    Learning Intentions :  We are learning to (WALT)..
    • Explain the particle model of matter to someone 
    • Distinguish between physical and chemical reactions 
    • Describe the structure of the atom
    • Describe the key differences between the 3 subatomic particles 
    • Describe the structure and function of the periodic table 
    • Use the periodic table to explain the structure of various different atoms 
    • Use the periodic table to draw an electron configuration diagram / orbital diagram 
    • Define the terms compound and mixture and be able to give examples of each 
    • Success Criteria: I can/have...
    • Correctly explain the differences between solids, liquids and gasses using the particle model of matter 
    • Correctly tabulate the differences  between physical and chemical reactions 
    • Accurately describe the structure of the atom
    • Correctly identify and describe the key differences between the 3 subatomic particles 
    • Explain  the structure and function of the periodic table 
    • Understand how to write word equations for chemical reactions 
    • Correctly describe the terms compound and mixture and be able to give examples of each
