3rdweek of October WAG A Week At A Glance: Ms. Dixon s 8th Grade Physical Science
STANDARDS AND ELEMENTS S8P1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the structure and properties of matter. a. Develop and use a model to compare and contrast pure substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures. (Clarification statement: Include heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. Types of bonds and compounds will be addressed in high school physical science.) b. Develop and use models to describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma states when thermal energy is added or removed. c. Plan and carry out investigations to compare and contrast chemical (i.e., reactivity, combustibility) and physical (i.e., density, melting point, boiling point) properties of matter. d. Construct an argument based on observational evidence to support the claim that when a change in a substance occurs, it can be classified as either chemical or physical. (Clarification statement: Evidence could include ability to separate mixtures, development of a gas, formation of a precipitate, change in energy, color, and/or form.) e. Develop models (e.g., atomic-level models, including drawings, and computer representations) by analyzing patterns within the periodic table that illustrate the structure, composition, and characteristics of atoms (protons, neutrons, and electrons) and simple molecules. f. Construct an explanation based on evidence to describe conservation of matter in a chemical reaction including the resulting differences between products and reactants.
INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES 8th grade Physical Science 9th grade Physical Science same as 8th grade this week Monday: Student will continue Bohrs and Lewis Dot models. Students will explain that Rows identify #shells. Groups or Families identify # of Valence Electrons. Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Tuesday: Students will review location and properties of Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids using Color Coded tables Thursday: Friday: Wednesday: Students will review how to identify (Atomic #, Mass #, protons, neutrons and electrons. Thursday: I will review Ions, Radioactivity, types of Decay and Isotopes with students. Friday: Review game before Unit Test
