This course is designed as an interactive, 21st century course focusing on Chemistry. Topics include the composition, properties, and changes associated with matter and their applications.
This course is designed to serve as a foundation for the study of Chemistry. The utilization of scientific inquiry, web 2.0 tools, interactive experiences, higher order thinking, collaborative projects, real world application through labs and a variety of assessments all aid the student in ultimately demonstrating a vast understanding of the importance of Chemistry in the world around them; enabling them to apply these properties to their everyday lives.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of matter by describing scientific measurement, explaining forms of energy, describing properties of matter, and summarizing changes in matter.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of atoms and elements by summarizing atomic theory, describing characteristics of electrons, and explaining the elements of the periodic table.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of molecules and compounds by explaining characteristics of valence electrons, describing processes of bonding, and describing molecular structure and naming.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of chemical reactions by describing the components and balancing of chemical equations, and comparing types of chemical reactions.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of stoichiometry by explaining the importance of the mole, describing the empirical formula, evaluating stoichiometry calculations, and explaining the application of stoichiometry.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of the phases of matter by describing particle motion and energy, explaining the phase changes of matter, and describing gas laws.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of energy in reactions by describing energy in a system, explaining collision and chemical reactions rates, and explaining dynamic equilibrium.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of solutions by summarizing properties of water, describing the concentrations of solutions, and explaining the properties of acids and bases.
