Starting at the Beginning: The Atom

This week we will learn the basics about an atom as we try to understand particle movement and what actually causes this movement. Our topics include:

  1. The History of the Atom
  2. States of Matter
  3. Changes of States

Please refer to the Weekly Agenda for the list of activities associated with these topics.  What we learn this week is the prerequisite knowledge for lessons, activities, and projects to come.  You may begin to notice a change in pace, which will require that students are going home and studying a bit more to maintain a firm handle on new knowledge.
