INSTRUCTIONAL OVERVIEW Teacher: Shelby Fisher Class: 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 7th periods Unit Topic: Chemical Reactions Core Standards Taught: Next Generation Science Standards A. Disciplinary Core Ideas 1.) PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter - Each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties that can be used to identify it. 2.) PS1.B: Chemical Reactions - Substances react chemically in characteristic ways. In a chemical process, the atoms that make up the original substances are regrouped into different molecules, and these new substances have different properties from those of the reactants. - The total number of each type of atom is conserved, and thus the mass does not change. - Some chemical reactions release energy, others store energy. Vocabulary: periodic table, element, atom, electron, atomic mass, atomic number, physical property, mass, volume, density, solubility, ductility, physical change, chemical change, chemical property, chemical reaction, endothermic reaction, exothermic reaction, law of conservation of mass WEEK OF: MONDAY Similarity/Differences Summary/Note Taking Effort/Recognition Homework/Practice Nonlinguistic Cooperative Learning Objects/ Feedback Gen/Test Hypotheses Q’s/Adv. Organizer Monday, November 17, 2014—Friday, November 21, 2014 Bell Ringer: Students will record their summative assessment (Learning Target Check #2) on their unit organizer handout. Then, they will have an opportunity to revise their goals for this unit. Learning Target: Learning Targets 3 and 7 3.) I can explain how atoms interact with each other to form a chemical reaction. 7.) I can provide evidence of a chemical or physical change. Teaching Strategy Used: Summary/Note Taking Students will learn about chemical reactions. Specifically, students will be able to discuss compounds and how atoms of elements combine together in different ways. In addition, students will learn about ionic and covalent bonding. Essential Questions of the Day: What are physical and chemical changes? How can I tell if a physical or chemical change has occurred? What are some examples of these types of changes? Assessment: Formative, informal questioning TUESDAY Similarity/Differences Summary/Note Taking Effort/Recognition Homework/Practice Nonlinguistic Cooperative Learning Objects/ Feedback Gen/Test Hypotheses Q’s/Adv. Organizer Bell Ringer: Ask students to analyze to balls of play dough. Then alter the shape of one piece and ask students which one is bigger. Which one has more mass? This will spark a discussion and lead into the learning targets for this lesson: the law of conservation of mass. Learning Target: Learning Targets 8-9 8.) I can explain the law of conservation of mass. 9.) I can develop a model and provide examples of the law of conservation of mass. Teaching Strategy Used: Cooperative Learning, Summary/Note Taking Students will be able to analyze various models that demonstrate the law of conservation of mass. Students will also watch brief video demonstrations to highlight his concept. Essential Questions of the Day: What is the law of conservation of mass? How can this law be demonstrated in experiments, demonstrations, and other examples? Assessment: Students will complete a quiz that will be similar to questions regarding these learning targets on the pre/post assessment. WEDNESDAY Similarity/Differences Summary/Note Taking Effort/Recognition Homework/Practice Nonlinguistic Cooperative Learning Objects/ Feedback Gen/Test Hypotheses Q’s/Adv. Organizer Bell Ringer: Students will review the law of conservation of mass and generate an example of this concept into their science notebook. Learning Target: Learning Target 8-9 8.) I can explain the law of conservation of mass. 9.) I can develop a model and provide examples of the law of conservation of mass. Teaching Strategy Used: Cooperative Learning, Summary/Note Taking Students will be engage in a lab activity, Baggie Reactions. Students will be able to observe and draw conclusions about the law of conservation of mass and will also be introduced to exothermic and endothermic reactions. Essential Questions of the Day: What is the law of conservation of mass? How can this law be demonstrated in experiments, demonstrations, and other examples? Assessment: Student discussion and questioning will provide evidence of understanding. In addition, the lab activity will serve as a formative assessment for learning.

Organizer FRIDAY Similarity/Differences Summary/Note Taking Effort/Recognition Homework/Practice Nonlinguistic Cooperative Learning Objects/ Feedback Gen/Test Hypotheses Q’s/Adv. Organizer Bell Ringer: Students will generate ideas on how to build a small camp stove using a tin can. Learning Target: Learning Targets 8-10 8.) I can explain the law of conservation of mass. 9.) I can develop a model and provide examples of the law of conservation of mass. 10.) I can differentiate between endothermic and exothermic reactions. Teaching Strategy Used: Cooperative Learning Students will engage in an engineering project where they are expected to construct a small camp stove that can be used to heat water. Essential Questions of the Day: What is an endothermic and exothermic reaction? Where can you find evidence of these types of reactions? Assessment: Student discussion and questioning will provide evidence of understanding. In addition, the engineering project will serve as a assessment for learning. Bell Ringer: Students will complete the Quick Check handout regarding chemical and physical changes. Learning Target: Learning Targets 8-10 8.) I can explain the law of conservation of mass. 9.) I can develop a model and provide examples of the law of conservation of mass. 10.) I can differentiate between endothermic and exothermic reactions. Teaching Strategy Used: Cooperative Learning (Continued) Students will engage in an engineering project where they are expected to construct a small camp stove that can be used to heat water. Essential Questions of the Day: What is an endothermic and exothermic reaction? Where can you find evidence of these types of reactions? Assessment: Student discussion and questioning will provide evidence of understanding. In addition, the engineering project will serve as a assessment for learning. Program Review: N/A
