Essential Question(s)	1. What are some chemical and physical properties of matter? 2. Identify evidence of chemical and physical properties?

Please check the classroom for due dates as late work is generally NOT accepted. I will collect some individual assignments to put in the grade book, including ALL homework. Save the work to turn in when the unit is due. You have a folder and a bag in class to use! (w) means there is a link on the website.

Sections I - Basics You must complete the assignments to get the points.

Pts	#	Assignment Title	Type	Due
/20	1	Vocabulary cards (+4 big ones) ALL complete	VOC
/20	2	Round Periodic Chart / Atom Cut out 1, Atom 2	ACT

/ 150.		Section I points (Max 160)

*You must write the questions to get full credit. You may paraphrase. ^Work that does not get finished

in class becomes homework and is expected to be complete.

Pre-Test score (w)________ Post-Test Score (w) HMK ______ dif. (post – pre) ________
Please be sure to write your scores down. You might get extra credit for the difference.

Section II - Labs or other work. These assignments are a little bit harder or longer.

Pts	#	Assignment title	Due Date

Section III - Totals

Your Totals	Points Possible	Grading scale for unit A 180 – 200 / B 160 – 179 / C 140 – 159 / D 120 - 139	Unit due
	200	Unit score (Section I + II) Max 220 pts
	100	Assessment* (In class test)

*The assessment will either be a test, essay, project or other assessment tool that either the student or teacher chooses.

Late Unit sheets will lose 25 points each day late. If you do not add up your scores correctly or lie about scores you may receive 1/2 credit on the whole unit. In order to keep your parents informed of your work and what we are doing in class let them see this list of assignments. It must be signed before you turn it in. This can be done any time. This is REQUIRED or I will not accept your work.

Vocabulary words. * These words will be on your quiz and so will 6 other words you must make “big cards for these also! You must make vocabulary flashcards using the index cards from class (or your own). Use the following website for your definitions. http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us/curr/science/core/8thgrd/sciber8/matter/html/language.htm . Or here are the Flashcards. You may print these and use them for your cards. This is all the words for chemistry. You only have about 1/2 of them. the others will be on your next unit!

There are 2 unit sheets for this standard – It has 4 objectives and we will be working out of Chapters 1-8 in your Physical Science textbook

State Science Core (what you will be tested on during CRT’s at the end of the year)

Standard I: Students will understand the nature of changes in matter.

Objective 1: Describe the chemical and physical properties of various substances.

a. Differentiate between chemical and physical properties.

b. Classify substances based on their chemical and physical properties (e.g., reacts with water, does not react with water, flammable or nonflammable, hard or soft, flexible or nonflexible, evaporates or melts at room temperature).

c. Investigate and report on the chemical and physical properties of a particular substance.

Objective 2: Observe and evaluate evidence of chemical and physical change.

a. Identify observable evidence of a physical change (e.g., change in shape, size, phase).

b. Identify observable evidence of a chemical change (e.g., color change, heat or light given off, change in odor, gas given off).

c. Observe and describe chemical reactions involving atmospheric oxygen (e.g., rust, fire, respiration, photosynthesis).

4. Investigate the effects of chemical change on physical properties of substances (e.g., cooking a raw egg, iron rusting, polymerization of a resin).
