7th Grade Concepts
Substances have physical and chemical properties. Students will describe physical properties of elements and identify how they lead to placement of the elements on the periodic table. They will examine the properties of density, phases of matter, boiling point, melting point, and how elements are classified as metals, nonmetals and metalloids.
Studies will include identifying and demonstrating phenomena such as the rusting and tarnishing of metals (oxidation), burning of wood, and the Law of Conservation of mass and energy. Students will recognize elements, compounds (composed of elements), and mixtures (homogeneous and heterogeneous) in everyday life.
