- Elements, Compounds and Mixtures Investigation Day
investigate, think about and record information about elements, compounds and mixtures and then create a "Mind Map" (concept map).
- A list written in your notebook containing 20 words from your investigations (in Step 1 below)
- A concept map in your notebook organizing the words into categories (in Step 2 below)
you may create the concept map on a separate sheet and tape it into your notebook
Step 1: Visit websites sites or use class texts and make a list of twenty facts, ideas or concepts about elements, compounds, mixtures or pure substances
Review this site: Elements, Compounds.and Mixtures and make of list of five important items about element compounds and mixtures
Review our Quizlet vocabulary list "Classes of Matter" and add five items to your list
Investigate at least two additional sites or use books in our classroom and add ten more items to your list (~five from each source)

Game: Chemical Mix Up (shockwave SWF file- requires SWF File Player to run)
Step 2: Organize the ideas from your list into a "Mind Map"
Sort your list of twenty words into groups
Identify the "big ideas" with subordinate concepts and connecting ideas
Rewrite the words in your list into groups that show these connections or the ordering from larger to smaller ideas
Choose a concept map layout from the examples
Populate the concept map with your organized ideas
