made of, have properties that can be used to
describe and classify them
Identify pure substances by their physical and
chemical properties (i.e., color, luster/reflectivity,
hardness, conductivity, density, pH, melting point,
boiling point, specific heat, solubility, phase at room
temperature, chemical reactivity)
Concept A: Objects, and the materials they are
made of, have properties that can be used to
describe and classify them
Classify a substance as being made up of one kind of
atom (element) or a compound when given the
molecular formula or structural formula (or electron
dot diagram) for the substance
Concept A: Objects, and the materials they are
made of, have properties that can be used to
describe and classify them
Compare and contrast the common properties of
metals, nonmetals, metalloids, and noble gases
station lab to measure and
record the physical and
chemical properties of different
types of matter (i.e., color,
luster/reflectivity, hardness,
conductivity, density, pH,
melting point, boiling point,
specific heat, solubility, phase
at room temperature, chemical
reactivity)
Students will use a properties
station lab to measure and
record the physical and
chemical properties of different
types of matter. Students will
use reference material to
identify the chemical formula
of the substance.
Using a computer program
students will research
properties of different types of
elements.
properties of matter from
collected data to classify
different types of substances.
Students will classify the
substance as an element or a
compound using the identified
chemical formula.
Students will categorize the
properties of each element
group to identify the
similarities and differences
between them.
