Statement of inquiry
The properties of a substance determine their function and creative use..
INQUIRY QUESTIONS
Factual
What are some of the intrinsic chemical and physical properties of elements?
How are the symbols, structures and properties of elements and compounds different?
Conceptual
How does a the use of a substance relate to its properties?
How does the periodic table show that science values the predictive power of patterns?
Debatable
Are all factors equal when determining the value of a substance?
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Structure determines chemical and physical properties
2. Similarities in properties can be observed in trends in the periodic table
3. The value of a substance is related to its properties, availability and uses
4. Elements and compounds are identified using chemical nomenclature
5. Use experimental skills to investigate properties of a variety of elements and compounds
6. Use scientific inquiry and experimental skills to investigate the properties and use of metals
