Science 7: Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds, Day 1
of 2
Group:
Building compounds and molecules
activity
Morning Meeting:
Objective:
Content 01. Element: A fundamental substance that
cannot be broken into simpler substances by chemical
or physical processes
Class:
Summative Assessment
Content 02. Atom: The smallest particle of an element.
Content 03. Molecule: Formed when two or more of
the same atoms join together chemically. Examples
include Molecular hydrogen (H2), molecular oxygen (O2)
and molecular nitrogen (N2).
Content 04. Compound: A molecule that contains at

Objectives:
 An individual is one single organism
 A population is all the individual of one kind
(one species) in a specified area at one time
 A community is all the interacting populations
in a specified area
 An ecosystem is a system of interacting
organisms and nonliving factors in a specified

2 pieces of paraffin wax
2 pieces of margarine
Lab Notebook, pg 63
Objective:
Content. Melting is a change of state caused by heat.
Content. In Solids, particles are held in place and move
only by vibrating.
Content. In liquids, particles are held close, but are able
to move around and over one another.
Content. Change of state is the result of change of
energy in the particles in a sample of matter.
Investigate. Use ice, hot water, and flame to transfer
heat to and from substance to observe phase change.
