Year 8D Science TERM 1PLANNER Unit 1: Particle Theory and Chemical change

Section / SUCCESS CRITERIA and GOALS / I feel confident with this…
(Date/ Reference) / I only need a little help with this / I can do some of this but need a lot of help / I don’t know this at all-yet!
SC1 / REVIEW: I can recall safety procedures for operating within a science lab and the use of specific scientific equipment (eg – Bunsen Burner)
SC2 / I can make tell the difference between observations and inferences.
SC3 / REVIEW: I can recall the parts of a scientific report, including Introduction, Aim, Hypothesis, Materials, Method, Results, Analysis, and Conclusion.
1 5 lessons / SC4 / REVIEW: I can define the terms Fair Test, independent (or manipulated) variable, dependent (or measured) variable, controlled variable, control (as a sample for comparison), Correlation, Causation (statistical definition).
SC5 / I can conduct a fair test experiment (EXP) (simple helicopters – rotor length, rotor width, mass ) - recognise the statistical need for repeatedtrials within experiments
LG1 / I can write (or analyse) examples of the sections of a scientific report.
LG2 / I can evaluate or design a fair test experiment and justify scientific reasonableness of data and conclusion (eg. argue for/against using short wide helicopter rotors versus long thinner rotors).
Assessment handed out – Extended Experimental Investigation (EEI) (due week 6)
SC6 / I can define and recall the terms solid, liquid, Gas, Freezing, Melting, Evaporating, Boiling, Condensing.
SC7 / I can define and recall the points of the Particle Model.
2 / SC8 / I can accurately measure both changes of state for water (EXP)
4 lessons / SC9 / I can research and explain the use of changes of state in “everyday life”
SC10 / I can identify independent, dependent, and controlled variables for experiments in an EEI
LG3 / I can explain how particle motion and forces between the particles (particle model) influence changes of state (phase changes) and the melting and boiling temp for substances
LG4 / I can research background information for an EEI and use to construct an experimental design
SC11 / I can write Aim, Hypothesis, Materials and Method for several experiments.
3 / SC12 / I can work collaboratively to conduct safe experiments. (EXPS)
4 lessons / SC13 / I can collect and organise data, including correct graphical representation of scientific data (trend line graph)
LG5 / I canperform effective investigative experiments, design tables, and graph data.
Continue drafting EEI report – introduction, title, aim, hypothesis, Materials, Method and Results drafts due this week.
SC14 / I can research and Recall definitions for Physical and Chemical properties and several examples of each
4 / SC15 / I can research and Recall definitions for Physical and Chemical change and
I can explain each in terms of the particle model
SC16 / I can recall the four indications a Chemical change has occurred
3 lessons / SC17 / I can identify Physical and Chemical change in real life situations
LG6 / I can investigate, identify, and explain physical and chemical changes in an experiment(EXP)
Write the analysis and conclusion for the EEI
SC18 / I can identify and describe trends within the data.
5
2 lessons / SC19 / I can analyse data for validity by identifying (and quantifying if possible) error, correlation and/or causation (EEI)
SC20 / I can define and recall the structure of an Analysis and Conclusion for a scientific report
LG7 / I can use the thorough analysis of data and errors to make and justify conclusion related to the EEI
SC21 / I can recall a definition for the Periodic table and state the function of the periodic table.
6 / SC22 / I can recall the names and symbols for first 20 elements
3 lessons / SC23 / I can identify and label the metal, metalloid, and non-metal areas of the periodic table and describe and explain (in terms of electron numbers) patterns of reactivity.
LG9 / I can explain or Justify the position of an element in the periodic table in terms of metallic character and/or reactivity.
EEI assignment report due
SC24 / I can review and recall definitions and features of atoms, nucleus, protons, neutrons, and electrons.
7 / SC25 / I can recall definitions of element, molecule, compound, pure substance, mixture
3 lessons / SC26 / I can compare and contrast any of the terms above and classify known substances as one of them
LG8 / I canjustify the classification of substances by comparing & contrasting features of the terms above
