Fundamental and Substance – Discuss meanings
Question - How can everything in the universe including Earth be made of 92 fundamental substances or elements?
Anyone ever play with Lego’s and make something, then make something else with same blocks?
The Lego blocks are fundamental building blocks and then you mix and match to make something else.
The different shapes are like different elements you can make different things with by mixing and matching different elements.
Where did all this stuff or substance come from?
- Teacher read aloud/think aloud – Foss page 9 –
What are we made of? Stardust Why?
Elements in you - page 12 and 13.
Sodium – Na - Na Cl = Salt
Chlorine – Cl
Silicon – Si – what’s in your computer?
Carbon – C - is the element with highest point – 5,767 degrees F.

Oxygen - O
Nitrogen – N - boiling liquid

Phosphorus - P
Calcium - Ca
Hydrogen – H

Notes
The elements came from the Big Bang and were spread throughout the universe – star dust. They are the fundamental building blocks of all living and nonliving things, they make up all matter in the universe.
Elements cannot be broken down to any smaller substance.
Elements can combine with each other to form molecules.
H2 + O = H2 O = Water - two gases combined to form a liquid.
Na + Cl = Salt
There are 92 naturally occurring elements and they combine to form all the different fundamental substances, all matter, on earth and the universe.
Summary - Define and explain notes- - Talk about Elements in our environment and in our bodies.
Text to self – Text to world
Do you understand why we need to eat nutritious foods which include minerals? Repair and keep our bodies healthy since we are made of these elements.
Think – Pair – Share and in your notebooks list your observations and thoughts in two sentences.
Have students compare and contrast the physical proprieties of different types of elements.
Using your prior knowledge, as well as using your logical deductive reasoning, to write two sentences in science notebook about what you learned today :
