CW1: as students will be investigating if mass is unchanged when chemical/physical change takes place (conservation of mass)
CW4: students will be able to classify solids, liquids and gases.  
CW6: students will discover the properties of different materials.
 NoS2:students will be able o questions appropriately for scientific investigation which will in turn add to their knowledge of how scientists work.
NoS3: students will be able to design, plan and conduct scientific investigations and also select suitable equipment and resources for such investigations, students will benefit from this as they will further develop into becoming young scientists.
NoS5: by the end of this unit students will be able to reflect and review on the skills and thinking that they have used while carrying out investigations, they should be able to use this knowledge in future investigations and research which will in turn aid them in developing their scientific knowledge and learning. ]]> 2023-03-20 14:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/21313725/bdfbcjhjqtg4f24v/wish/2523679675 21313725 https://padlet.com/21313725/bdfbcjhjqtg4f24v/wish/2523693632 2023-03-20 14:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/21313725/bdfbcjhjqtg4f24v/wish/2523693632 21313725 https://padlet.com/21313725/bdfbcjhjqtg4f24v/wish/2523702732 Provide more detail within the concepts/constructs section.

They must also gather data and results from investigations. Students need to think creatively and critically to design models of the atomic nature of matter.
WWO: Students need to work in groups to conduct investigations and create presentations throughout this unit. Students will have to develop good relationships with fellow students to complete this. They must cooperate and respect each other as well as learn with each other.
BC: Students use this key skill as they must use their imagination and learning to create models of particle arrangements as well as designing different demonstrations to explore changing of states etc.
MM: Students will use this key skill throughout this unit as they will have to make considered decisions on investigations and other learning tasks, as well as setting and achieving personal goals on assessments etc. Students must also be able to reflect on their own workings in investigations which is one of the LO for NoS.

I first read this article before I began to teach this specific learning outcome as it gives a really great insight into the background and early ideas of matter.
It allowed for me to provide short, interesting stories to my students throughout classes that keep them that bit more engaged and interested in the lesson as it steers away from "strict learning". 
This short reading is a great way to help students and even teachers to see the development of science through the centuries and allows students to open themselves up to the idea of how scientists work.

This reading discussed many many different ways and methods that have been used and tested over years to see what proved to be effective and less effective within the science classroom. I have taken many key points from this reading and used them throughout my teaching placement. 
1. "Teachers should change from being primarily a transmitter of knowledge to being a facilitator and mediator of students' learning." I used this point for every science class I taught and it made me realise that my beliefs on what a teacher can be have changed (throughout interactive activities and tasks) a noisy classroom didn't necessarily indicate a lack of control but instead it meant students were discussing their learnings more and therefore improving and expanding their knowledge. I used this point throughout lessons as I allowed students to complete research and to ask more questions throughout classes rather than have them sit and listen to the teacher.
2. Another aspect I have taken from this reading is how to help students when conducting investigations. Some points that I have found to be significantly useful within my classes are: "the breaking down of an investigation into its particular phases and concentrating discussion on one aspect only." I found this really helped students to stay organised throughout and also broke down harder concepts into simpler ones that made it easier for them to process. "asking many cueing questions of students while they carried out investigations" I always try my best to repeatedly ask student questions that will get them thinking critically throughout and keep them asking themselves such questions. "Encouraging the explicit formation of linkages between students' prior knowledge and present situations" This idea proved massive benefit for my students as once they could link new information with facts they already knew they found it much easier to get a grasp of. Throughout investigations I would ask students what household items could we use instead of materials we have in the lab which would allow them to connect the experiment to their own daily lives.
