My didactic unit is entitled "Matter and its properties" for second year of ESO students of the subject Phisics and Chemistry.
The subject matters are what is matter, matter at different scales, measurement, mass, volume and density.
The objectives in this unit are:
- To recognise the general properties of matter.
- To classify matter in orders of magnitude using scientific notation.
- To distinguish the scales of observation of matter.
- To define different quantities, their units and how some of them are measured.
- To represent quantities, their units and their symbols.
- To use the International System of Units.
- To learn the multiples and submultiples of the units and transform one to another.
- To learn the concepts of mass and volume, their units and how each is measured.
- To understand the concept of density, its different units of measurement and how it is determined.
- To distinguish between mass and weight, between density and viscosity, between volume and capacity.
- To convert units of volume to units of capacity.
- To analyze density as a matter property which is independent of the amount of the matter.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE UNIT: CLASSROOM SESSIONS, ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED AND RESOURCES
1st session
We will begin the didactic unit with a brainstorming of what students know about the subject. We will support this activity with a few tokens to fill out.
We continue with specific vocabulary about the matter with a listening and then expose the content by supporting a web page and I've also prepared a letter soup. We end with a more detailed explanation of the matter and its properties by a website.
Task 1: Brainstorming to detect previous knowledge

Task 2: Glossary of specific terms linked to the unit

Task 3: Matter and its properties

2nd session
My second session will be developed with exercices about scientific notation and scales supporting me in an online exercises website. Then I explain the measuring and finally we see International System of Units.
Task 4: Exercises about scientific notation and scales
Task 5: Measuring
Task 6: International System of Units: multiples and submultiples

3rd session
In this session we will perform several online games to explain common mistakes and concepts of volume and capacity. We ended up explaining the density with a video.
Task 7: Common mistakes.

4th session
In the last session we will go to the laboratory and do some experiment on densities. Before we will see some video that explains the experiment. In the end the students will do a self-assessment.
Task 10: Go to laboratory: is density independent of the amount of matter?
