Unit Lesson Plan – Matter and Its Properties

19 days Teacher: Jennifer Wright Time Frame: 6th Grade Bath County Middle School Grade: School: 6th Grade Middle School Science Subject:

NGSS/DCI Substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range MS-PS1-A: Structures and in size from two to thousands of atoms.(MS-PS1-1) Properties of Matter Each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it. (MS-PS1-2),(MS-PS1-3)

Gases and liquids are made of molecules or inert atoms that are moving about relative to each other. (MS-PS1-4)

In a liquid, the molecules are constantly in contact with others; in a gas, they are widely spaced except when they happen to collide. In a solid, atoms are closely spaced and may vibrate in position but do not change relative locations. (MS-PS1-4)

Solids may be formed from molecules, or they may be extended structures with repeating subunits (e.g., crystals). (MS-PS1-1)

The changes of state that occur with variations in temperature or pressure can be described and predicted using these models matter. (MS-PS1-4) http://www.nextgenscience.org/msps1-matter-interactions Common Core State ELA/Literacy – Standards Connections: RST.6-8.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to the precise details of explanations or descriptions (MS-PS1-3)

RST.6-8.7 Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table). (MS-PS1-1), (MS-PS1-4)

WHST.6-8.8 Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search terms effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and Conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation. (MS-PS1-3)

Mathematics – MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (MS-PS1-1)

MP.4 Model with mathematics. (MS-PS1-1)

Matter and Its Properties 6.RP.A.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems. (MS-PS1-1)

6.NS.C.5 Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation. (MS-PS1-4)

8.EE.A.3 Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other. (MS-PS1-1)

Instructional Objective: Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple MS-PS1-1. molecules and extended structures Instructional Objective: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances MS-PS1-2. Instructional Objective: Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, MS-PS1-4. temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed

Essential Questions (What questions will the student be able to answer as a result of the instruction?) 1. What is matter and how do we measure it? 2. What is an atom and how is it structured? 3. How is the Periodic Table of Elements arranged and what does an element’s placement tell you about the substance? 4. What is the difference between a physical and a chemical property and what are some examples of each? 5. What are the states of matter and what role does thermal energy play in changing matter’s state? Knowledge & Skills (What skills are needed to achieve the desired results?) By the end of this unit, students will know: By the end of this unit, students will be able to:  Everything in the universe is made of matter.  Describe the basic structures of atoms and molecules  Elements are composed of atoms which are  Demonstrate how both mass and volume are simple substances that can’t be broken down into measured and then use this information to calculate for other substances. density.  How the Periodic Table is arranged.  Distinguish between weight and mass.  Molecules are combinations of various elements  Describe the difference between physical and that result in brand new substances. chemical properties and give examples of each.  Examples of physical and chemical properties of  Display the ability to read the Periodic Table of matter and the difference between the two Elements and describe elements based on their groups. location in the chart.  How to calculate using the density formula.  Distinguish between solids, liquids and gases based  Characteristics of solids, liquids and gases and on distinct characteristics that thermal energy is responsible for the changes of phases of matter.

During the Smart Notebook lesson designed to introduce concepts, students will be continually questioned on these concepts using a combination of class work/homework questions and the SMART Response system. Class work and Homework questions will be discussed as a class and misconceptions will be addressed by the teacher prior to the formal evaluations listed below.
