LESSON PLAN

CLASS: SNC1D DATE: Feb 10, 2018

UNIT: Chemistry TOPIC: Atoms, Elements and Compounds

TEACHER: Neetu Arora DURATION: 75 min

LESSON BIG IDEAS:

 To differentiate between the properties of Elements and Compounds

 To identify different groups of the periodic table
 To explain physical and chemical changes in terms of the particle theory

MINISTRY EXPECTATIONS:

C3.3 distinguish between elements and compounds (e.g., compounds are pure substances
that can be broken down into elements by chemical means

C2.1 use appropriate terminology related to atoms, elements, and compounds, including,
but not limited to: boiling point, mixtures

LEARNING GOALS: SUCCESS CRITERIA:

 I can explain physical and  I can draw pictures of particles to

chemical changes in terms
of the particle theory
 I can explain the
differences between
elements and compounds
(including how
compounds differ from
the elements that make
them up)
 I can identify the various
groups of the periodic
table
explain the difference between
physical and chemical changes
 I can draw pictures of particles to
explain the difference between
compounds and elements
 I can define compounds and elements
 I can conduct research to show that
compounds are completely different
from the elements they are made of
 I can observe the evidence for
chemical changes
