Essential Question:
How can I classify matter by
its composition?
Learning Target:
By the end of the unit section
students will be able to
classify matter by its
composition.
Task(s) of the Day:
Take notes on Elements,
Compounds, and Mixtures
Complete Elements,
Compounds, and Mixtures
practice.
 Elements, Compounds, and
Mixtures​

You can think of atoms as the building blocks

of matter. Like toy blocks, atoms can be
connected in different ways. Atoms make up
elements and compounds. Elements and
compounds, in turn, make up mixtures.
An atom is like building
block of matter.
An element is made up
of one or more of the
same kind of atom
chemically combined.
A compound is made up
of different kinds of
atoms chemically
combined. Compounds
have different properties
from elements that make
them up.

A mixture is made up
two or more elements or
compounds. A mixture
can be a mixture of
elements, and mixture of
compounds or a mixture
of elements and
compounds.
