8.1A, 8.2B, 8.3B, 8.4A-B 8.5: Matter and energy. The student knows that matter is composed of atoms and has chemical and physical properties. The student is expected to:
8.5E investigate how evidence of chemical reactions indicate that new substances with different properties are formed

6TH GRADE
•6.5D identify the formation of a new substance by using the evidence of a possible chemical change such as production of a gas, change in temperature, production of a precipitate, or color change
7TH GRADE
•7.6B distinguish between physical and chemical changes in matter in the digestive system
8TH GRADE
8.5: Matter and energy. The student knows that matter is composed of atoms and has chemical and physical properties. The student is expected to:
8.5E investigate how evidence of chemical reactions indicate that new substances with different properties are formed
• A chemical change occurs when two or more substances are mixed together.
• When a chemical change occurs, the combined substances have different properties than the original substances.
• Measureable and observable changes occur during a chemical change such as production of a gas, change in temperature, production of a precipitate and color change.

Based on the data and distractors, what key points should teachers emphasize during lessons?
• Dissolving and an increase in temperature by an outside energy source are not evidence of a chemical reaction.
• Students should create an acronym or use another memorization strategy to remember the 4 pieces of evidence. Color Change, Temperature Change, Gas, Precipitate
Example: Click the green pen.
OR
E (Effervescence- bubbles, gives off gas)
P (Precipitate)
O (Odor, change of smell)
C (Color Change)
H (Heat, heats up or cools down)
Based on the data and distractors, what key points should teachers emphasize during lessons?
Components of a good lesson plan1. Engage Student Interest

Comprehension Strategies
• Reader/Writer/Speaker Response Triads: Students form groups of three. One student reads the text aloud; one writes the group’s reactions or responses to questions about the text, a third reports the answers to the group. After reporting to the group, the students switch roles.
Embedded in lessons:Writing Opportunities & Scaffolds• Journal Entries
• Burning Paper Assessment Probe
• Exit Ticket
• Nails in a Jar Assessment Probe
• Scaffolds: Sentence Frames, Word Bank, Write/Share/Revise, Write/Pair/Share
Embedded in lessons:Daily Listening & Speaking Opportunities

Higher level questions• “Research shows there’s a link between critical thinking skills and increased student achievement in the
classroom.” (Moore & Stanley, 2010)
• Higher level questions must be planned in order to be implemented effectively in the classroom.
• Levels of Questions
• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation
• Plan and provide a variety of questions at each level and build student knowledge and critical thinking by providing Higher Level Questions.

• Card Sort Extension Labeled Graphic
• Law of Conservation of Mass Vocabulary Card
• Evidence of a Chemical Reaction Concept Map

Anchors of SupportOther Resources•Interactive Word Wall- Current, working models with student contributions
• Interactive Word Walls Article: http://learningcenter.nsta.org/files/ss1103_45.pdf
• “Word walls can be arranged on cupboard doors or classroom walls, or hung from the ceiling with wire and string.”
• “Maximum instructional potential and efficiency are achieved when interactive word-wall construction is aligned with lessons and students are allowed to participate in the process. As a result, walls are usually built over many days and are finished as a unit nears completion. Word walls support units and are changed or replaced as units change.”
