Lesson: Elements, Atoms, and Molecules Chemistry

In this lesson, we will learn how to define elements, atoms, and molecules and use these terms in the context of materials and physical processes.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

define elements, atoms, and molecules,
analyze different drawn representations of chemical species in order to classify diagrams of elements, atoms, and molecules,
compare intermolecular forces to intramolecular bonds to understand why changes in state do not always decompose the chemical,
identify and label different chemical species as solids, liquids, and gases using the appropriate state symbols to better explain the species in chemical equations.
