Introduction
The focus of the module is to assist you to analyse trends and patterns in relation to the properties of pure substances and use these to predict the properties of other pure substances. This knowledge is used to determine the ways in which substances can be separated from each other and those that allow them to remain together.
Matter can be either pure substances with distinct measurable properties (eg melting and boiling points, reactivity, strength, density) or mixtures with properties that are dependent on the identity and relative amounts of the substances that make up the mixture. The analysis of these properties has led to the expansion of the periodic table of elements and the advancement of atomic theory. This understanding has allowed for the development of complex models that have been subject to extensive peer review, and has contributed to advances in many disciplines over time.
You will use knowledge obtained from the study of the periodic table to examine trends and patterns that exist between chemical elements and atoms in order to discover that fundamental particles, and their role in the structure of an atom, give all chemicals their properties.
There are four main areas of content:
Properties of Matter
Atomic Structure and Atomic Mass
Through these areas of content, you will have the opportunity to explore the following questions:
How do the properties of substances help us to classify and separate them?
Why are atoms of elements different from one another?
Are there patterns in the properties of elements?
What binds atoms together in elements and compounds?
HOMEWORK FOR EACH LESSON:
After each lesson, use a combination of these to consolidate, clarify, and identify questions for the next lesson.
1. Create Cornell notes (template below): brainstorm the key ideas you remember from the lesson. Add detail to the outline mindmap (above) if you find that more useful. This helps with memory retention.
2 . View Col Harrison videos (will be included throughout the site) to add key points you may have missed, or not understood.
3. To complete questions, to check understanding, to identify questions you may have (add these to your Cornell notes), use:
Focus textbook relevant sections, and/or
PSM Workbook (below)
4. Use the IQ Response Practice booklet (below) to develop your ability to write exam responses.
