Enrichment
The purpose of enrichment is to allow students that don’t need reading and math intervention the ability to explore a variety of topics in greater detail. Enrichment allows students to complete a variety of four week rotations. During this rotation students will explore in greater depth the world of atomic theory and the classification of various forms of matter.
Objectives that are covered during the four week unit include:
Students will be able to identify matter as anything that has mass and volume.
Students will be able to describe and compare the volumes of objects or substances either directly or indirectly using water displacement.
Students will be able to identify and classify changes in matter as chemical and or physical.
Students will be able to classify matter in an object into pure substances or mixtures.
Students will be able to describe the appropriate ways to separate the different components of a mixture.
Students will be able to describe elements and compounds as pure substances that have characteristic properties.
Students will be able to describe physical and chemical properties of pure substances.
Students will be able to illustrate and describe the molecular arrangement of a solid, liquid and a gas.
Students will be able to explain the changes in volume, shape and viscosity of materials in response to temperature changes during a phase change.
Students will be able to predict the effect of energy transfer on the physical properties of a substance as it changes form from a solid, liquid
and a gas.
Students will be able to identify more than 100 known elements exist that may e combined to form compounds.
