Up and Atom

We are going to get Up and Atom by doing some everyday chemistry and physics and learning more about how and why things react, or don't react. Along the way we will learn about atoms and how they interact to either make a new shape and sometimes an entirely new substance. 
There are many scientific skills to learn, including how to make an accurate observation and record data. However the most important skill will be lab management and safety, so students must be prepared and able to manage themselves well. 
Students will need a device, pens, pencil, eraser, ruler and access to a calculator.

Outcomes:

• group materials in different ways, based on the observations and measurements of the characteristic chemical and physical properties of a range of different materials.
• compare chemical and physical changes.
• Students will relate the observed, characteristic chemical and physical properties of a range of different materials to technological uses and natural processes.
