    Students will use building blocks to model elements and compounds. They will observe carbon and sodium chloride under a microscope and draw what they see. Then they will use snap-together building blocks to explore concepts of elements, atoms, and compounds. The objective is for students to demonstrate how a variety of compounds can be formed by combining different elements. Materials include building blocks, microscopes, microscope slides, carbon, sodium chloride, petri dishes, a spoon, and science journals.

    Student Investigation Sheet

    Background Information:
    Modeling Elements and Compounds

    In this activity, you and your group will use building blocks to model compounds. You should first observe carbon and
    sodium chloride under a microscope and construct drawings of what you observe. You will then use the snap-together
    building blocks provided to explore the concepts of elements, atoms, and compounds.
    Objective(s):
    In this investigation, you will use building blocks to demonstrate how a wide variety of different compounds can be created by
    combining different elements.

    Materials List:
    Building blocks, snap-together plastic
    Microscope
    Microscope slides, 2
    Carbon- granular
    Sodium chloride
    Petri dish, 2
    Spoon, small measuring
    Science journal or notebook

    Student Investigation Sheet

    Key Question
    What was the question that you wanted to answer?

    Directions: Write the question for the


    investigation. The question should be specific
    and be able to be investigated.
    Key Components

    Specific (one general thought, does not combine


    two or more questions)
    Is able to be investigated

    Hypothesis
    Claim that answers your question based on the evidence

    Directions: Develop a claim about what you think


    is going to happen.
    Key Components

    Expresses a cause and effect relationship


    Is testable
    Incorporates prior knowledge

    Student Investigation Sheet


    Plan
    How Will You Investigate the Question?

    Directions: Describe the plan that you will use to


    study your question and analyze your hypothesis.

    Key Components

    Plan is easily repeatable by others


    Plan describes the use of materials
    Plan is in a logical order

    Student Investigation Sheet


    Data
    Evidence from this investigation

    Directions: Record all of the evidence that has


    been collected. Evidence can be any data that
    helps answer the question appropriately and
    completely. The focus of this section is on what
    was found during the investigation.

    Key Components

    Data (from an investigation and/or other sources,


    such as observations, reading material, archived
    date, etc.)
    Appropriate (data applies directly to the question)
    Sufficient (uses enough data to completely answer
    the question and determine a finding on the
    hypothesis)

    Student Investigation Sheet


    Conclusion
    Summarize Your Findings

    Directions: Develop a conclusion for your


    investigation. The conclusion should contain
    clear thoughts and vocabulary that has been
    studied. This section focuses on the answer to
    the question and either proving or refuting the
    hypothesis. This should be done by linking the
    hypothesis to the data using logical reasoning.

    Key Components

    Use precise and accurate language


    Use scientific vocabulary
    Provide clear logical thoughts
    Use evidence and reasoning to support or refute
    the hypothesis

    Analysis and Conclusions

    1. How could you increase the variety of types of matter that are modeled?

    2. How many different compounds can you make using the elements you were given?

    3. How is the number of compounds you formed using the model different than the number found in nature?
