  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING...the properties of materials by observing and experimenting to determine which materials have the most desirable properties for sports technology
    • We are EXPLORING... the relationship between chemicals to make connections to their properties

    Paearu Angitu / Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Explain how elements bond to form compounds that have more desirable properties for sports equipment
    • Use the periodic table to draw atomic structure of elements
    • Identify the protons, neutrons and electrons of an atom
    • Develop models of atomic structure to visualise how elements can bond
    • Compare compounds and molecules with ionic and covalent bonds
    • Keywords: periodic table, proton, neutron, electron, ionic, covalent, element, molecule, compound

    Hei Mahi / Activities:

    1. Hands-on: Atomic structure model making with elements + molymods
    2. EdPerfect: Atomic structure + bonding
    3. Class notes: See Google Classroom
    4. Literacy:  How science is changing the game in sports article
