Begin Chemical Reactions unit; Investigative Phenomena question: Why do gems have different properties than metals?
Video: Tool of the Trade; take notes about what you observed
Brainstorm (pair share): What did you observe? How do the gems in the bowl differ from one another? Which properties are determined by the kinds of atoms in the gems’ molecules?
CER; brainstorm questions about the phenomenon
