|
CH1 | CONTENT: Ionic
and Covalent Compounds Elements
combine in constant proportions to form compounds.
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report, Bulletin Board Students will demonstrate through maniipulatives that atoms interact with one another by transferring or sharing valence electrons. |
|
|
CH2
|
CONTENT: Periodicity
An
atom is a discrete unit of an element. The atomic model can help us understand
the interaction of cells and compounds Students demonstrate how properties
of elements related to atomic structures
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report, Conclusions from analysis The student will demonstrate an understanding of the organization of the periodic table via lab activity. |
|
|
CH3
|
CONTENT: What
Kinds of Nuclear Change Occur? Some
elements spontaneously break down into new elements through the process
of radioactive decay. Application of systems and interactions theme to
explore reactions of the nucleus.
PERFORMANCE: Mathermatical Model Students will learn to write balanced nuclear equations. |
|
|
CH4
|
CONTENT: Electronegativity
Ions
formed when atoms or groups of atoms lose or gain electrons. Illustration
of facility to understand electron transfer, naming ions, and polyatomic
ions.
PERFORMANCE: Conclusions from Analysis Students will learn to use electronegativity differences to determine bond types. |
|
|
CH5
|
CONTENT: Molecular
Bonds Atoms combine
to form molecules by sharing electrons to form covalent or metallic
bonds, or by exchanging electrons to form ionic bonds. Students demonstrate
an understanding of types of bonds and how they are formed.
PERFORMANCE: Mathematical Model, Explanation of a Procedure, Lab Report Melting points and conductivity are two properties used to determine bond types |
|
|
CH6
|
CONTENT: Families
of Elements and Their Characteristics The
Periodic Table displays the elements in increasing atomic number
and helps to demonstrate trends in physical and chemical properties of
the elements.
PERFORMANCE: Table, Lab Report Students use the Periodic Table to identify trends in electronegativity, electron affinity, shielding effect. |
|
|
CH7
|
CONTENT: Chemical
Equations Chemical
reactions can be represented as systems with reactants, products, and energy
(heat( as a product or reactant.
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report, Conclusions from analysis Students will be able to write a balanced chemical equation. |
|
|
CH8
|
CONTENT: How
Can Reactions Be Used? In
chemical reactions, the number of atoms of each element is conserved.
Explanation of the laws of conservation of mass; demonstration of the ability
to balance equations.
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report, Flow Chart Students will put synthesis, displacement and decomposition reactions to work. |
|
|
CH9
|
CONTENT: What
Are Characteristics of Gas Laws? The
states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) differ in the spacing and motion
of the molecules of the substance As a substance is heated, molecular motion
increases. Demonstrate an understanding of the Kinetic Molecular Theory
as a basis for gas laws.
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report, Students will know the properties of gasses and and understand the kinetic molecular theory and the 4 variables that describe gas. |
|
|
CH10
|
CONTENT: Gases
and Condensation The
volume of a given number of moles of gas at a given temperature is inversely
proportional to it's pressure (Boyle's Law)
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report Students will describe what behaviors are demonstrated by Boyle's Law by performing experiment and analyzing data. |
|
|
CH11
|
CONTENT: Relationship
between Gas Volume and Absolute Pressure. The
volume of a given number of moles of gas at given pressure is proportional
to its absolute temperature
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report Students will be able to calculate the volume of gas at the absolute temperature changes. Students will plot a graph to represent Charles Law. |
|
|
CH12
|
CONTENT: Acid
Base Titration and Volumetric Analysis Acids
are substances that increase the concentration of Hydrogen ions in
solutions. The concentration of Hydrogen ions can be measured by pH. Explaining
the importance of the H+ in solutions; calculating pH from H+..
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report Students will be able to titrate solutions and calculate solution concentration from their results. |
|
|
CH13
|
CONTENT: Acid
Base Titration and Volumetric Analysis Bases
are substances that neutralize acids by binding with Hydrogen ions to decrease
their concentration in solution. Explaining the importance of OH in neutralizing
reactions.
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report Students will be able to titrate solutions and calculate solution concentration from their results. |
|
|
CH14
|
CONTENT: Preparation
of Organic Compounds The
elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen (along with numerous elements
in lesser quantities) combine to form the molecules of living organisms.
Demonstrating the ability to name an organic compound after seeing its
structural formula; defining an organic compound.
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report Students will be able to identify categories of organic compounds by investigating their properties after synthesizing them. |
