3 Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures Theme: Probing students understanding Learning Outcomes By the end of this section, you wi have: used an activity to probe students understanding of definitions of eements, mixtures and compounds; panned questions at different abiity eves to hep students observe and interpret a demonstration reated to eements, mixtures and compounds; used students drawings or modes to probe their understanding of formuas of compounds and eements. Introduction At the end of teaching a topic, teachers usuay set a test or exam to find out what the students have earned. They are often dismayed to discover that it is not as much as they expected but by this time it is too ate to hep students. A good teacher wi find out what students understand as they go aong, and what the students are finding difficut and hep them to make progress. This unit has three short activities that wi fit into your norma teaching about eements, mixtures and compounds and wi show you how to find out what your students understand. Being abe to recite definitions of key words ike eement, and compound does not necessariy mean that your students understand what they mean. Don t worry the activities won t prevent you from finishing the syabus; they are fairy short and wi hep your students to earn. Once you have tried these activities, you wi be abe to adapt them when you teach other topics. 1. Teaching for understanding Students have their own ideas about a topic and an effective teacher takes account of these ideas when teaching. So a good way to start teaching any topic is to find out what your students aready know about the topic. You may be surprised about what they have earnt from newspapers, aduts, peers, oder brothers and sisters and observations. Often their ideas are not the same as the scientific ideas we want them to understand. In this topic we wi start by taking about the chemica eements and how they are the buiding bocks from which a other substances are made. (Resource 1 shows the periodic tabe with a the eements). To find out about the students ideas, you coud ask them if they know what an eement is and if they know the names of any of the common eements. They wi probaby have heard of iron, carbon and sufur, but there may be others. 3 of 15 Tuesday 31 May 2016
4 Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures Case study 1 shows how one teacher heped her students to understand the definitions of eements, compounds and mixtures. Students need time to think about new words and to understand them. You wi be peased if they can remember and recite the definitions, but you need to be sure that they understand what the words reay mean. That is more difficut to measure! You can use the ideas in this unit whenever you introduce new words or scientific terms. In Activity 1 we represent atoms as circes, and atoms of different eements by different cooured circes. This activity wi hep students understand these definitions and remember them. Organise the activity so that the students have the opportunity to tak to each other as they work out the answers. Encourage them to expain their answers to the questions. Case study 1: Group work to probe understanding Miss Mene had taught her Form 9 cass the definitions of eement, mixture and compound, but wanted to make sure that they reay understood these key ideas in chemistry. She decided to use a card-sorting activity that woud give the students an opportunity to discuss their ideas. She used Resource 2 to make 12 sets of cards out of some od food packets. Each card had a diagram that represented an eement, a mixture or a compound. It took quite a ong time to make the cards so she persuaded her coeague who taught the next eve of junior secondary to hep her, and offered to share the resource with her. Miss Mene organized the students into groups of four, giving each group a set of cards. Using the information she had aready given them, they had to sort the cards into three pies (eements, mixtures and compounds). Two groups then came together to check each others pies and discuss any differences. If they disagreed on anything they had to expain their reasons and agree on the answer. Miss Mene found that they identified the eements, but she had to expain the difference between compounds and mixtures again. Her coeague had to teach her cass a topic on chemica reactions. She borrowed the cards to hep her students revise the definitions that they had earned ast year. They strugged at first, but the activity reay heped them when they started the new topic on chemica reactions. Activity 1: Think-pair-share This activity wi hep you to find out whether your students understand the definitions that you have taught them. Copy the diagrams on to the board or make one copy for each pair of students (Resource 2). Instruct the students to work in pairs to identify which diagrams represent the eements, the compounds and the mixtures. Te them they have to be abe to expain their choices. Next, direct each pair to compare their answers with another pair. If they disagree, they have to discuss the exampe with each other and agree on the right answer. As they work, wak round and isten carefuy to what they are saying. Use questioning to find out whether the students understand the reasons for their answers. At the end of the activity you can revise the definitions and be confident that they are understood. 4 of 15 Tuesday 31 May 2016
5 Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures 2. Using questioning to enhance a demonstration One of the reasons why chemistry is difficut is that we cannot see the things we are taking about. It is fu of abstract ideas. You can hep your students to understand chemica words and ideas by using experiments and modes to hep them deveop pictures of things that they cannot see. A popuar experiment for teaching about eements and compounds is heating iron and sufur to make iron sufide (Activity 2). But there are other experiments that you can do, as Case study 2 shows. Whie you are doing the demonstration, you can find out if your students understand what they are seeing by asking them a series of questions. It is important to make sure that your questions chaenge them. Resource 3 reminds you about the different types of questions that you shoud be asking. It is a good idea to pan the questions that you coud ask before the esson. Think about how you wi respond to their answers. You coud ask severa students the same question then ask them to seect the best one. You coud aso ask a foow-up question: Why do you think that? After the demonstration you can check their understanding by asking them to write a short paragraph about the experiment, using the key words. By etting the students write about the experiment in their own words, you wi reay be abe to see if they understand the key ideas. You coud et them read each others and give feedback. Case study 2: Demonstrating a mixture Mr Okumbe did not have any sufur, but he wanted to use an experiment to hep his students understand the difference between a compound and a mixture. One afternoon he set out a demonstration on the distiation process for his Form 9 cass (Resource 4). He gathered his students around the front bench and showed them the apparatus. The students examined the ink avaiabe and recorded its physica properties, e.g. bue in coour, a dark iquid. He then mixed the ink with water in a test-tube and asked the students the foowing questions: What happens to the ink when mixed with water? Does the test-tube get warm or coo down? What is the coour of the mixture? Is it possibe to get the ink back from the mixture? Mr Okumbe heated the mixture in the fask and as it got to the boi, he coected the iquid which passed through the tube into the boiing tube immersed in a beaker of cod water. The mixture was heated unti most of the water in the fask evaporated. As the process was going on, he posed questions to the students. He asked some easy questions which encouraged them to watch carefuy, but he aso asked ots of why questions which made them think. When he asked harder questions, he gave the students penty of thinking time. Sometimes he asked them to discuss the answer with their neighbour, before vounteering an answer. At the end of the esson he asked his students to try and think of other mixtures that coud easiy be separated. Someone suggested sat water and they started taking about where the sat they use at home comes from and how it can be produced on a arge scae. Mr Okumbe expained that aong the coast of Kenya and Tanzania, there are many paces where sat is produced by evaporating sea water. 5 of 15 Tuesday 31 May 2016
6 Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures Activity 2: Demonstrating Iron and Sufur In this activity, you wi demonstrate the reaction of iron and sufur. Resource 5 expains the detais of the experiment. Before the esson, pan a set of questions that you wi ask your students, which wi hep them to think about the experiment. Gather your students round the front. Start with some simpe questions: What is an eement? Which one is the meta? What is the evidence that this is a meta? Get your students to make predictions: What wi happen if I mix them together? What wi happen if I heat the mixture? Ask some open ended questions with more than one answer: How coud I separate the mixture? Give them time to discuss the answer with their neighbour before they respond. When you compete the demonstration ask some harder (higher order) questions: What has happened? How do we know that this is a new substance? Can you expain the difference between an eement and a compound? Finay, set them the task of writing a short paragraph about the experiment that incudes the three key words eement, mixture and compound. 3. Using pair work to support understanding Carefu questioning, providing opportunities for students to discuss their ideas, and openended writing, are a techniques that wi hep you to find out the eve of understanding in your cass. Another hepfu approach is to get your students to make a mode or draw a picture to expain a scientific idea or principe. As your students deveop their understanding of chemica compounds, you wi be introducing them to chemica formuas. Chemica formuas provide a universa way for chemists to tak to each other, and it is important that your students understand what they mean. We cannot see the moecues, so making a mode or drawing a picture wi hep your students to imagine what they might ook ike. Resource 6 contains some exampes of simpe formuae that you coud use in order to deveop your students understanding of the concept. When your students are working on the activity, it is important that you move around the room and isten to their conversations. You wi find out a great dea about their thinking! If they have a probem, ask eading questions rather than just te them the answer. 6 of 15 Tuesday 31 May 2016
7 Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures Case study 3: Pair work on formuas Mrs Ogutu of Tiengre Secondary Schoo, Kenya decided to review previous work on chemica symbos and formuas. She spent a brief moment expaining to the students that chemistry knowedge is easiy communicated through use of symbos and formuas. She referred to the periodic tabe poster that the cass had made and wrote on the board the formuas of some compounds made from the eements in the periodic tabe. She set the activity up as a game, asked the students to work in pairs and distributed some pebbes she had coected (she coud have used pasticine instead). She tod each student to secrety choose three compounds from the board and to mode them using pebbes to represent the atoms. Their partner then had to work out the moecues or formuas which the modes represented. She gave the students opportunities to repeat the exercise unti they gained confidence in identifying the formuas of the compounds and eements. Whie the students were working she moved round the cassroom watching carefuy what they were doing. Mrs Ogutu noticed that Sammy thought the number referred to the atom after the number so he had put water with one hydrogen and two oxygen atoms. She didn t say anything because she wanted to see if the students coud work it out for themseves, and so watched carefuy. Sammy s partner, Corneia, was confused at first but reaised what he had done. Mrs Ogutu watched as Corneia expained formuas to Sammy. Just before the end of the esson, she asked him to make a mode of H 2 S and was deighted that he got it right. Activity 3: Interpreting formuas The aim of this activity is to reinforce what the formuas actuay mean in terms of atoms. Use formuas that your pupis need to know for the exams. Write the formuas of some eements and compounds on the board (Resource 6 has some suggestions but you coud make up your own). Divide the students into pairs and te each pupi in secret to choose one of the formuas and to draw a diagram to represent it, using circes to represent the atoms. They shoud then chaenge their partners to identify the formua. Ask the students to repeat this severa times unti they are confident. At the end of the activity, gather the cass round the front and ask them which ones they found difficut and what they have earnt from the activity. You may choose to extend this to discuss how the diagrams and symbos can both be used to represent the reaction between iron and sufur.

10 Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures Questioning Good questioning is reay important and is not as simpe as it first may seem. It can hep you deveop good reationships with your students, it can hep your students to organise their thoughts and therefore hep them to earn, and it can provide you with vauabe insights into their thinking. Good questions can promote thought, encourage enquiry and hep with assessment. By thinking carefuy about the sorts of questions that you can ask, you wi improve your teaching. It is hepfu to think of questions as being open or cosed and person or subjectcentred. Cosed questions have a singe correct answer. They can reassure students and hep you to find out what they remember. But too many cosed questions can imit the opportunities to expore thinking and deveop understanding. They are often undemanding and can be quite threatening if the student acks confidence. Open questions have no right answer, or severa right answers. They give you opportunity to find out what your students are thinking, and can be ess threatening for some students. Subject-centred questions ask things ike what goes into a pant? and what sort of rock is this? Person-centred questions focus on the student and are ess threatening and more earner-friendy: What do you think goes into the pant? What do you notice about the rock? A committee of educators chaired by Benjamin Boom devised a taxonomy of types of questions in which they identified ower order questions and higher order questions. Research shows that ower order, reca-type questions tend to dominate cassrooms. This eads to an emphasis on remembering facts and reduces the opportunities for creativity, thinking and deveoping understanding (see tabe). It is important that you pan your questions appropriatey. When you are doing a practica demonstration, for exampe, or introducing a new topic, write out a ist that incudes some ower order and some higher order questions. This way, you wi be using questions to hep your students to earn. Just ike every aspect of teaching, you need to practise! You aso need to think about how you respond to your students answers. Try and give them time to think, ask severa students the same question or et them discuss the answer before they respond. Conventionay, students are asked to put their hands up when they answer a question. You probaby find that the same students frequenty put their hands up and some do so very rarey. It can be very effective to ask specific students to answer your questions and not to ask them to put their hands up. Everyone wi have to isten as they know that they might get asked. When you first start doing this, make sure that you direct easy questions at students who you know wi find the work difficut. If they can successfuy answer some of your questions, they wi become more confident. Boom s taxonomy of questions Type of questions Purpose Lower order questions Exampes 10 of 15 Tuesday 31 May 2016

12 Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures Distiation apparatus Resource 5: Background knowedge for heating Iron and Sufur Background information / subject knowedge for teacher Using iron and sufur to demonstrate the difference between a mixture and a compound Gather your students round the front. Demonstrate the properties of iron (magnetic, sinks in water) and sufur (not magnetic and foats in water). Mix them together and ask your students to suggest how they might be separated. Based on their responses, demonstrate that it is easy to separate them by using a bar magnet or putting the mixture in water (iron sinks and sufur foats). When you heat them together, they gow bright red (exothermic) and a new substance (iron sufide) is formed, which cannot easiy be separated. 12 of 15 Tuesday 31 May 2016
13 Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures Heat the mixture in a boiing tube. (If possibe use 5.6 g of iron and 3. 2 g of sufur, or a simiar ratio). The boiing tube wi gow red as they react. When the reaction has finished, wrap the tube in a towe (to make sure that hot gass does not burn you) and break it with a hammer. Ask students to predict if the substance formed can be separated as before. Ask them to draw their concusions on the demonstration. Indicate that a new compound has been formed by heating and that it cannot be separated into iron and sufur. Reaction between iron and sufur Eements, mixtures and compounds Eements are substances that are made from one type of atom. An eement cannot be broken down into any other substance. There are 92 naturay occurring eements and everything in the universe is made from these basic buiding bocks. Common exampes incude carbon, sufur, oxygen, iron, copper, auminium. Eements are represented by symbos. Compounds are substances made from atoms of different eements joined by chemica bonds. They can ony be separated by a chemica reaction. Common exampes are water (H 2 O), sat (sodium choride, NaC), methane (CH 4 ). The symbos indicate which eements the compounds contain and the number tes you the ratio in which the atoms of the eements combine. A mixture is made by simpy mixing together eements and compounds. No new chemica bonds are formed. Mixtures can be separated using techniques such as fitration, chromatography, evaporation, magnetisation, fotation and distiation. Atoms are the basic buiding bocks. In the activities in this unit, we represent the atoms by circes. By shading the circes differenty and drawing them different sizes, we can represent different types of atom. A moecue is a group of atoms that are chemicay joined together. It is possibe for a moecue to be an eement (e.g. oxygen, O 2 ) or a compound (e.g. water, H 2 O). You can te the difference because in an eement there is ony one type of atom. Adapted from BBC Bitesize revision, shtm How can you te when a chemica change has taken pace? A new substance is formed (a compound) which ooks different from the starting materias and has different properties. There is an energy change the reaction mixture gets hot or cod. It is difficut to reverse the process. 13 of 15 Tuesday 31 May 2016
14 Section 1 : Eements, compounds and mixtures When a compound is formed, a chemica bond is made between the atoms. There are different kinds of chemica bond; covaent bonds as in methane, CH 4,and water, H 2 O, and ionic bonds as in sodium choride, NaC. The properties of a substance are determined by the type of bonds between the atoms and moecues. Usefu anaogies You can consider the eements to be ike the etters of the aphabet. They can be joined together in different ways to give different words (compounds). The eements are ike bricks. You can join them together in different ways to make new structures. Other contexts in which you coud use these ways of probing students understanding Acids, bases and sats matching definitions with words, demonstrating how to make a sat, predicting reactions. Separation techniques choosing a method to separate a mixture and expaining why it works. Naming pieces of apparatus matching the apparatus with its uses. Physica and chemica change understanding definitions and cassifying exampes. Chemica bonding understanding definitions, buiding modes to represent moecues or ionic crystas.
