|Unit 2: Structure of Matter |Grading Period: 1st |

|Big Idea/Theme: Atoms and Matter |

| |

|Understandings: |

|Understand that matter is made up of atoms. |

|Understand how heat affects the motion of atoms and molecules. |

|Essential Questions: |Curriculum Goals/Objectives (to be assessed at the end of the unit/quarter) |

|How does heat affect the motion of atoms and molecules? |Essential Standard: Understand the structure, classifications and physical properties of matter. |

|How do states of matter change? |6.P.2.1-Recognize that all matter is made of atoms and atoms of the same element are all alike, but are |

|How are physical properties used to define matter? |different from the atoms of other elements. |

| |6.P.2.2-Explain that effect of heat on the motion of atoms and molecules through a description of what |

| |happens to particles during a change in phase. |

| |6.P.2.3-Compare the physical properties of pure substances that are independent of the amount of matter|

| |present including density, melting point, boiling point and solubility to properties that are dependent |

| |on the amount of matter present to include volume, mass and weight. |
