Teacher: Mrs. Hooks
Period(s):1,3,4,5
Subject: Science
Grade(s): 7th
Dates:10/26Title of Unit: Atoms and Chemical Reactions
Unit Synopsis: Science is an organized method of learning about the natural world. Students will begin to observe and propose explanations based
on Scientific Investigations that follow a general pattern of observing, hypothesizing, investigation, analyzing, and concluding. Students will also
begin to understand how investigations are represented in models and written explanations.

“I can” statements
Develop and use a model to
describe how the total number of
atoms foes not change in a
chemical reaction and the thus
mass is conserved.
Critical Vocabulary
I can identify the parts of the atom.
I can use the Periodic Table to explain
characteristics of individual elements.
Develop and use a model to describe how the
total number of atoms foes not change in a
chemical reaction and the thus mass is
conserved.
