Properties of Matter
In the
unit on Properties of Matter, students will identify and
differentiate between physical and chemical properties
of matter. Students will be able to identify and
demonstrate chemical changes that exist in everyday
life. In addition, students will identify how properties
are used to position elements on the periodic table and
recognize that elements make up compounds.
Critical Questions
- What examples of chemical change are evident
around us?
- What is the relationship between properties of
elements and the arrangement of elements on the
periodic table?
- Why is it important to understand how elements are
positioned on the periodic table?
