Teacher(s): Amos, Littles, McGhee Grade/Subject: 8th/Physical Science

Week of: January 23-27, 2017 / Unit : Properties of matter, Atoms and the Periodic Table / Dates: January 25 – February 15, 2017
Florida Standard(s):
Benchmarks, descriptions, DOK levels, standards unpacked (know/do) highlighted / SC.8.P.8.4 Classify and compare substances on the basis of characteristic physical properties that can be demonstrated or measured: for example, density; thermal or electrical conductivity; solubility; magnetic properties; melting and boiling points; and know that these properties are independent of the amount of sample.
SC.8.P.8.3 Explore and describe the densities of various materials through the measurement of their masses and volumes.
SC.8.P.8.5 Recognize that there are a finite number of elements and that their atoms combine in a multitude of ways to produce compounds that make up all of the living and nonliving things that we encounter. (Also assesses SC.8.P.8.1, SC.8.P.8.6, SC.8.P.8.7, SC.8.P.8.8, SC.8.P.8.9)
SC.8.P.8.1 Explore the scientific theory of atoms (also known as atomic theory) by using models to explain the motion of particles in solids, liquids, and gases.
SC.8.P.8.6 Recognize that elements are grouped in the periodic table according to similarities of their properties.
SC.8.P.8.7 Explore the scientific theory of atoms (also known as atomic theory) by recognizing that atoms are the smallest unit of an element and are composed of sub-atomic particles (electrons surrounding a nucleus containing protons and neutrons). SC.8.P.8.8 Identify basic examples of and compare and classify the properties of compounds, including acids, bases, and salts.
SC.8.P.8.9 Distinguish among mixtures (including solutions) and pure substances.
Learning Goal: / ·  Students will be able to classify and compare materials using their physical properties.
·  Explore the densities of various materials through mass and volume.
·  Recognize that there are a finite number of elements and that their atoms combine to produce compounds that make up all of the living and nonliving things.
·  Understand how to use the periodic table.
·  Explain the scientific theory of atoms.
Essential Question / ·  How does knowing an object’s density help identify it?
·  Justify the importance of using physical properties to identify a substance.
·  How would you justify the role of energy in change of state?
·  Why is it important to understand the organization of the periodic table?
·  What is the relationship between protons, neutrons, and electrons?
·  How would you justify the role of pH in determining the use of a substance?
·  Defend the difference between mixtures and solutions.
·  How would you use the periodic table to determine what elements combine to form compounds?
Assessments / Pre-assessment: Probe questions
Formative Assessments: Quiz, Cornell Notes, Kahoot, Teacher observations
Summative Assessments: Unit 10 End Product, 4.5 weeks assessment
Progress Monitoring/ Feedback Loop / Learning Log, Exit Tickets, Learning Scale
Higher Order Question(s) / ·  What does the atomic structure of an element tell us about it?
·  How does an element change once it combines with another element?
·  What does the atomic theory state?
·  Who contributed to the development of the atomic theory?
·  What are the major components of the atom for an element?
·  How are the elements grouped on the periodic table?
·  What is pH and how is it used to distinguish between an acid and a base?
·  How are pure substances, mixtures and solutions different?
