Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What happens to the atoms in a chemical reaction?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Chemical reactions result from the rearrangement of atoms
  2. Learn the signs of chemical reactions: 1. Change of colour 2. Formation of gas 3. Formation of precipitate 4. Change of temperature (energy released)
  3. Representing chemical reactions using word equations.
  4. There is a 'Conservation of mass' during chemical reactions as atoms are rearranged not destroyed.
  5. Representing chemical reactions using formulae and using equations.

Keywords:
  • Chemical reaction: A process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products. (5)
  • Atom: The smallest particle of an element that can exist either alone or in combination. (2)
  • Chemical formulae: A formula that gives the total number of atoms of each element in each molecule of a substance (1)
  • Symbol Equation: The symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, wherein the reactant(s) are given on the left-hand side and the product(s) on the right-hand side. (1)
  • Conservation of mass (1)
  • Precipitate (1)
  • Gas: Particles are spread apart and move about randomly. So they have high amounts of kinetic energy but attraction between particles is weak. (1)
  • Word Equation: is a chemical reaction expressed in words rather than chemical formulas. A word equation should state the reactants (starting materials), products (ending materials), and direction of the reaction in a form that could be used to write a chemical equation. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What happens to atoms in chemical reactions
    Chemical reactions result from the rearrangement of atoms
  2. What 4 things tell us a chemical reaction has occurred?
    Learn the signs of chemical reactions: 1. Change of color 2. Formation of gas 3. Formation of precipitate 4. Change of temperature (energy released)
  3. How do we know that there is conservation of mass in a chemical reaction?
    There is a 'Conservation of mass' during chemical reactions as atoms are rearranged not destroyed.

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
