Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is the difference between atoms, elements and compounds?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. All substances are made of atoms. An atom is the smallest part of an element that can exist.
  2. Atoms of each element are represented by a chemical symbol, eg O represents an atom of oxygen, Na represents an atom of sodium.
  3. There are about 100 different elements. Elements are shown in the periodic table.
  4. Compounds are formed from elements by chemical reactions.
  5. Chemical reactions always involve the formation of one or more new substances, and often involve a detectable energy change.
  6. Compounds contain two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions and can be represented by formulae using the symbols of the atoms from which they were formed.
  7. Compounds can only be separated into elements by chemical reactions.

Keywords:
  • Chemical reaction: a reaction in which the atoms are rearranged. (1)
  • Compound: made up from two or more different types of atom chemically combined. (1)
  • Element: made up from only one type of atom. (1)
  • Chemical symbol: a symbol used to represent each element in the periodic table that is recognised across the world. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What is the smallest part of an element that can exist?
    An atom is the smallest part of an element that can exist.
  2. How are atoms of elements represented on the periodic table?
    Atoms of each element are represented by a chemical symbol.
  3. How many different elements are there?
    There are over 100 different elements.
  4. How are compounds formed?
    Compounds are formed from elements by chemical reactions.
  5. How can chemical reactions be detected other than through the observation of new substances forming?
    Chemical reactions can be measured by a detectable energy change.
  6. What is a compound and how is it respresented?
    Compounds contain two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions and can be represented by formulae using the symbols of the atoms from which they were formed.
  7. What type of reaction is needed to separate a compound into elements?
    Compounds can only be separated into elements by chemical reactions.

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
