ATOMS, ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS AND MIXTURES

Survey historical steps that led to our current understanding of the atom. Learn how atomic number and mass number describe numbers of particles in different elements. Explore how atomic mass is determined, what isotopes are, how elements combine chemically as molecules and compounds, and how mixing substances together can form different types of mixtures.

Learners will:

~match atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures with their definition or description.
~identify or match parts of an atom (protons, neutrons, electrons) and the charge that they hold.
~identify or match the meanings of mass number, atomic number, isotopes, and atomic mass to their descriptions.
~identify examples of atomic particles given illustrations and descriptions of charges (or lack thereof for neutrons).
~distinguish between examples of atomic mass, atomic number, and mass number given a specific element.
~identify or distinguish between examples of atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures.
~distinguish between isotopes of the same type of element and atoms of different elements.
~distinguish between examples of heterogeneous and homogenous mixtures given examples/illustrations.
~predict an increase or decrease in electrical charge when a certain number of electrons are removed or added to an atom.
~predict or explain how to determine the correct atomic mass given the isotopes of an atom that occur in nature.
~determine the number of neutrons in an atom given atomic numbers and mass numbers.
~predict what information is necessary to determine the number of protons, neutrons, or electrons in an atom given information about the atomic numbers, mass number, atomic mass, where one or more critical pieces of information is missing.

Lesson
The Lesson portion of this program includes audio-narrated scenes presenting standards-based instruction in order as outlined in the adjacent box. Up-to-date, spiralling science instruction builds upon previously introduced information and correlates to specific standards and objectives.

Application
Students apply new knowledge learned in the Lesson to fun, theme-based scenarios that reinforce skills and concepts. These activities can be administered in whole class, small group, and individual instruction.

Test
This program includes a sophisticated test bank which links questions to specific standards and objectives. Questions are randomly selected to ensure that the student has mastered a specific concept, standard or objective. Standardized-test format helps decrease high-stakes test anxiety.

BEHAVIOR OF SOUND & LIGHT, THE

Much of what we see & hear relates to how waves react with different media. Discover how waves are refracted, reflected, transmitted, absorbed, and diffracted, allowing us to do things such as see colors, and hear around corners.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY

This disk was created because electrochemistry is a difficult subject to get across. It connects animations of the process involved in electrolysis to videos of the actual phenomena.

Also tackled are why some materials conduct electricity and others do not, and how electrolysis is used in the real world.

Lesson
Difficult chemistry concepts are explained during the multimedia lesson with step-by-step examples and graphic annimations.

Activity
Relevant activities reinforce concepts learned in the lesson with hands-on learning.

Exam
Students test their new knowledge with the on-screen exam.
