Week 3: Metals and Non-metals

Week 3:Metals and Non-metals

Emerging	Developing	Core	Above standard	Accomplished
Completed the experiment with supervision	Completed the result, giving descriptions of the reactions	Completed the abstract, results and discussion	Have organised the metals into an reactivity series with HCl and explained their order.	Exceptionally well written abstract and discussion sections including multiple references.

Week Two

Week Two: Sketching Atoms

Emerging	Foundation	Core	Beyond Core	Accomplished
Can sketch an atom diagram according to very specific video instructions	Can sketch an atom when told the element and how many electrons it is losing or gaining but not necessarily placing electrons correctly in shells	Can sketch an atom when told the compound (can work out loss/gain for themselves – uses “octet” rule) but not necessarily placing electrons correctly in shells	Can correctly place electrons in shells when sketching atoms and can use shells to explain simple bonding	Can cope with filling up shells beyond Z=18 when more complicated filling rules apply

WEEK TWO: WORKSHEET

Week One

Week One: Atoms

Week	Emerging	Foundation	Core	Beyond Core	Accomplished
1	Can tell you whether a substance is an element or not by using a section of the periodic table	Can show that atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.	Can explain that neutral atoms are made up of equal numbers of protons and electrons determined by A = Z + number of neutrons	Can explain why not all atoms of an element have the same number of neutrons	Can explain why isotopes have slightly different physical properties but the same chemical properties
