Modeling Molecules and Substances

Part 1: Molecules
Circle the elements (building blocks) that made up the molecules on our paper from class today.

This is a model of glucose (a type of sugar). Count the number of each type of atom and respond to the questions below.

carbon atoms = black
oxygen atoms = red
hydrogen atoms = white

1

How many carbon atoms make up this molecule?

How many oxygen atoms make up this molecule?

1

How many hydrogen atoms make up this molecule?

Glucose's molecular formula is

You are welcome to watch more, but that is all that is required.

Grab an item in your pantry. Take of photo of the label HERE. Circle if it contains fats, carbohydrates or proteins.

Select which complex food molecules are in your pantry item.

1

Which of the following statements is true about the molecules that make up our food.

Part 2: Classifying Matter
Add the following notes into your science journal. When you are finished please check the box.

Build
Use materials at home and your white board to build a model of the four classifications of matter.


For example, here are my models using push pins. You only have to make one example for each. I did two.

The best definition of an element is:

Build a model of a compound. Take a photo. Label the items.

Build a model of a homogeneous mixture. Take a photo. Label the items.

For example, here is my model using push pins. You only have to make one example for each. I did two.

Actually my example isn't totally correct - the molecules need to be evenly mixed - the one on the right shows more green together which it shouldn't. I bet yours can be stronger!!!

The best definition of a homogeneous mixture is:

Build a model of a heterogeneous mixture. Take a photo. Label the items.

For example, here are my models using push pins. You only have to make one example for each. I did two.

The best definition of a heterogeneous mixture is:

Looking back on question 7 and 8 is your pantry item a pure substance or a mixture?
