UNIT INSTRUCTION SHEETS

Task Sheet and Achievement Scale- Elements and The Periodic Table (Chapter 9)

Content Area: Physical Science

Grade Level: 7

Measurement Topic: Conservation of Mass and Energy

Learning Goal: The properties of matter are determined by the arrangement of atoms.

Level 4:

�         The student demonstrates in depth inferences and applications of the learning goals that go beyond what was taught.

�         The student uses evidence and justify information taught and apply it to a new situation

Level 3:      ( I CAN STATEMENTS) Elements can be organized into families with similar properties Families include highly reactive metals, less reactive metals, highly reactive nonmetals and some gases that are almost completely un-reactive.

�         Identify the patterns that Mendeleev  noticed in elements(arranged by increasing atomic mass)

�         Distinguish between Periodic Table includes each elements atomic number, symbol, name, and atomic mass

�         Properties of an element can be predicted from its location in the periodic table

�         Physical properties of metals include luster, malleability, ductility, and conductivity

�         Metals are classified as: alkali, alkaline earth, transition, metals mixed in groups, lanthanides, actinides

�         In general most nonmetals are poor conductors, and solid nonmetals tend to be dull and non brittle

�         Families containing nonmetals include: carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, halogen, nobles gases, and hydrogen

Level 2:      The student can Identify basic vocabulary and/or has limited knowledge of the learning goal.
