Elements,
Mixtures, Compounds
1.
Brainstorm the differences
between physical and chemical changes in science journal then
Discuss the
differences between physical and chemical changes
2. Participate in an
activity to differentiate between elements, compounds, and mixtures-
The Properties Song
3. Understand that
chemical changes produce new substances by rearranging the atoms and
that physical changes do not produce new substances therefore they are
just mixtures that can be separated

The Periodic
Table 1. Discuss how the
Periodic Table is organized according to the properties of elements
and increasing atomic number
and how Dmitri Mendeleev put the elements in order:
Mendeleev Song
2. Color code the
periodic table identifying the periods (rows) and the different families
(columns) and discuss the properties of the elements and how and why they
are organized into the different periods and families
3.
Draw an atom showing the protons (+) and neutrons in the nucleus
with
the electrons (-) in the electron shells
