Unit 1 Snippet Calendar Plan

week of Tuesday Thursday
Aug.22 Syllabus§1 (or §3 here) with Next Generation Science Standards list
chemistry pre-instruction assessment
"treasure hunt" and category sorting
science journal instruction and set-up
quality cf. quantity (=> "_____ times as big")
object cf. material cf. substance
intrinsic cf. incidental properties
Volume as Area × Height (=> measurement as count of "×" unit)
adding water Volumes (=> meniscus)
weight as heaviness / support
adding water masses (=> subtraction as removal)
mass density (ratio ρ = m/V)
floating or sinking examples (=> unit substitution)
workbook pgs 1,3,7,8,9,10,12,14 ...
pg.12#15 is BAD question, ignore!
Aug.29 mass density measurements
Greek "atom" as smallest piece that retains properties
substance or mixture?
dilution as spreading within a Volume
burning candle wax
properties (changeable) cf. constituents (conserved)
Physical property cf. chemical change
chemical changes make gas bubbles or solids from liquids
chemical changes change color; absorb or release heat
chemical changes stifle flame or promote it
states of matter (wkbk 15-20,27-29)
