Students should be able to develop and use models to describe the atomic nature of matter; demonstrate how they provide a simple way to account for the conservation of mass, changes of state, physical change, chemical change, mixtures and their separation. ]]> 2020-05-05 14:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552164205 18258948 https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552168957 NoS 1- Students appreciate how scientists work. 
NoS 2- Students are introduced to developing their own hypotheses for investigating conservation of mass and evaporation.
NoS 3- Students are designing their own experiments, planning them, and preforming them to test their hypotheses they generated. 
NoS 4-  Students are differentiating between qualitative and quantitative data during every experiment. They also have to draw up their own conclusions. 
CW1 - Students would have to have touched on this LO in order to comprehend the conservation of mass. Mass is covered here and it also links in with physical and chemical changes. 
CW 4- Students are classifying solids, liquids and gases in order to draw the particle representation of each of them.  ]]> 2020-05-05 14:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552168957 18258948 https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552468806 The first learning outcome of this unit links with the CW2 LO. ]]> 2020-05-05 15:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552468806 18258948 https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552651302 This is a lesson I taught on evaporation. ]]> 2020-05-05 16:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552651302 18258948 https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552706067 The concept of 'disappearing' or 'dissolving' needs to be explained and can be done using a basic particle model.]]> 2020-05-05 17:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552706067 18258948 https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552712369 2020-05-05 17:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/552712369 18258948 https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/554361924 This clip gives a practical and simple explanation of the conservation of mass.

I set manageable goals for the students in the learning intentions and sharing them with the students ensured that they could monitor their progress. I eliminated rote learning from my unit and encouraged the construction of knowledge by asking open- ended questions. I also incorporated opportunities for the students to build on any new ideas they had and to learn independently. ]]> 2020-05-07 13:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/557336329 18258948 https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/557340922 I took an 'inquiry- based' outlook when creating my unit. I encouraged the students work like scientist in generating hypotheses, investigating them and drawing conclusions from the data collected. This then ensured that the students were actively engaged throughout each lesson. ]]> 2020-05-07 13:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/557340922 18258948 https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/558765854 2020-05-08 00:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/558765854 18258948 https://padlet.com/18258948/9hk3v7xx2thjbmrd/wish/559563073 This activity is an engaging way to do physical vs chemical changes.

Models are genius as they help us to explore a concept too small to see.
