OUTCOMESStudents will define what is matter.Students will be able to list methods that scientist use to investigate atoms.Students will

OUTLINE1. Quick review of elements and

compounds2. Everything is made of matter3. What is matter?4. How do we see it , how do we

know its there?

HOMEWORKWhat did they believe before they developed the particle theory?

DO NOWWhat is the smallest things you’ve ever seen?

Do NowWhat is the smallest thing you’ve

ever seen?

1. Quick Review List as many elements as you can think of in 60 sec.

Write their names or symbols

How many did you get?• Ask Pierre to do this

List as many compounds as you can in 60 sec How many did you get ?

• Pierres number

2. Everything matters What do we know That there are things called Atoms

They are made of even smaller parts protons, electrons, neutrons

Where are these atoms? EVERYWHERE!

All these elements, compounds and molecules have mass

KEY CONCEPT

Matter is anything that takes up space (has volume, and can be

weighed.

Can we see Atoms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqLlgIaz1L0

What element were they looking at?

Platinum Pt

What are the little bumps on the element?

What is disassociation of the particles ?

Why is it important to look at atomic structure?

How can we use this? Helps us to understand the world around us.

Matter describes anything that has mass. The universe is made of matter, which in turn is made of particles.

How these particles behave determine the characteristics of the substance.

OUTCOMESStudents will describematter in terms of particles that are constantly moving. Students will apply the theory of particle theory to the world around them.

OUTLINEWhat is the theory behind this?

Particle theory

How do we use this

HOMEWORK

Why does the handle of a metal spoon heat faster than a wooden one?

DO NOWTalk with your neighbour about what you discovered with your homework

Review Last lesson we understood that

Matter is everywhere

Particles interacting gives substances their characteristics

Particle theoryHistory of Particle theory.

Video on particle motion in real life situation (mercury / lead)

What is particle motion Main points

How do we describe matter Physical state (solid, liquid, gas) Colour- Is it oderless, flowery, spicey, neasuating Clarity- Clear, Cloudy, opaque Luster- Shiny, dull Form- Regular (crytalline), Irregular (amorphous) Texture- How does it feel, fine, course, smooth, waxy Hardness- Can it be scratched easily (scale 1-10) Brittleness- is it flexible or brittle Malleability- can it be bent and folded Ductility – can it be stretched out into long wires Viscosity- does it flow? Viscous or non viscous.

Practicum- describing matter In groups you are to go from table to table describing

the matter on the table using your new scientific vocabulary.

Write your answers in the table provided for you.

OUTCOMESStudents will be able to define the three states of matter.Students will be able to explain how matter is transformed.

OUTLINEWhat are the three states of matter?Discuss the movement of particles from last lesson. Worksheet labellingHow do we change the state of matter?

HOMEWORK DO NOW

Types of matterThere are three main types of matter

What are they?

Solids

Liquids

Gases

PropertiesStates of matter

Can be weighed

Occupy space

Fixed Shape Fixed Volume

Can be compressed

SOLIDS

yeS

YES YES YES NO

LIQUIDS YES YES NO YES NO

GASES YES YES NO NO YES

Discuss the particle theory

What elements are liquids at room temp

Experiment particles and models

OUTCOMESStudents will be able to explain expansion and contraction in terms of the particle model

Students will produce diagrams that represent how particles expand and contract.

Students will relate the changes in the particle movement to the physical changes of the material.

OUTLINE1. Expansion and

contraction2. How do we relate this to

our particle model?
