Unit 1: Matter
STANDARD: S8P1 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the structure and properties of matter.
ELEMENT: S8P1.a Develop and use a model to compare and contrast pure substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures.
LEARNING TARGETS: (Clarification statement: Include heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. Types of bonds and compounds will be addressed in high school physical science.)
- I can identify pure substances and mixtures. (Knowledge)
- I can distinguish between pure substances and mixtures. (Knowledge)
- I can classify mixtures as heterogeneous and homogeneous and give examples. (Knowledge).
- I can compare and contrast pure substances and mixtures. (Reasoning)
- I can describe the characteristics and properties of elements, compounds, and mixtures. (Reasoning)
- I can use a model to compare and contrast pure substances and mixtures. (Reasoning)
- I can develop a model to compare and contrast pure substances and mixtures. (Product)
Separating Mixtures
What are pure substances? They can be elements or compounds.
