Unit 3: The material world. Atoms.

INTRODUCTION TO THE UNIT.

How are we going to work in this unit?


ZONE 1: EXPLANATION

Take your own notes during the explanation.

ZONE 2: ACTIVITIES

For this unit you have to do the next activities in your notebook.

Book: Chemistry Oxford. (Pages 58 - 73)

- Activities: 2, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 29, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39.

- Continue with "read and understand science" on page 73.

- For finishing this unit, you have to complete the concept map on page 73 ("study skills") and the glossary proposal on the same page.

ZONE 3: COMPUTERS

We are going to investigate about the periodic table.

For this work you need to search the real uses or applications for the different elements of the periodic table. Each group will work in a different section of the table.

Group 1:  Alakali metals
Group 2: Alkaline earth metals
Group 3: Metalloids
Group 4: Non metals
Group 5: Noble gases
Group 6: Post - transition metals
Group 7: Transition metals (Group 1)
Group 8: Transition metals (Group 2)
Group 9: Transition metals (Group 3)
Group 10: Lantanoids
Group 11: Actinoids

Finally, you will use cardboards to write the element symbol, its atomic number and draw its application. Here you have an example:

Finally, we can build our own periodic table in pictures in our classroom.

EXTRA: A GAME FOR BUILDING ATOMS: Try it, is very interesting.
