Objectives
Details
Standard 1: Students will understand that chemical and physical changes occur in
matter.
Objective 1: Describe that matter is neither created nor destroyed even though it may
undergo change.
Teachers will use a model to construct an explanation for how matter is
conserved through a living system.
Teachers will find patterns in CO2 and O2 levels that give evidence that a chemical
change has occurred by analyzing and interpreting data.
Teachers will use mathematical thinking and data to find patterns in the
arrangement of the Periodic Table of Elements.
Language
Objectives
Teachers will correctly define “The Law of Conservation of Mass”.
Session
Sequence
1. Welcome!- Louisa Stark
Teachers will read the x-axis and y-axis correctly
2. Overview and Grant Requirements- Candace Penrod
3. S3ETS Business- Dina Drits
4. Engage- The Radish Problem
5. Explore-What is photosynthesis? What is cellular respiration?
6. Explain- Why are the seed masses different?
7. Extend/Elaborate- Open vs closed system (H2O2 + liver)
8. Evaluate- What new ways can teach your students about conservation of mass?
What then, is a chemical property vs a physical property?
a. Atomic Structure
Reading Periodic Boxes
b. Incomplete
Radish Problem
a. Seeds and Predictions
b. Show masses- Formulate explanations
c.
5. Video
6. Candle Demo
7. Assignment-
The weight of an object is always equal to the sum of its parts, regardless of how it is assembled.
In a chemical reaction or physical change matter is neither created nor destroyed. When two or
more materials are combined, either a chemical reaction or physical change may occur.
Investigate evidence for changes in matter that occur during a chemical reaction.
