Chemistry - College Prep

Chemistry – College PrepItalics reflect 21 st Century Skills implementationCourse Title: ChemistryUnit Title: Acids/Bases, TitrationContent Standards/Performance Goals:Scientific Inquiry, Literacy and NumeracyScientific inquiry is a thoughtful and coordinated attempt to search out, describe, explain and predictnatural phenomena.Scientific inquiry progresses through a continuous process of questioning, data collection, analysis andinterpretation.Scientific literacy includes the ability to read, write, discuss and present coherent ideas about science.Scientific literacy also includes the ability to search for and assess the relevance and credibility ofscientific information found in various print and electronic media.Scientific numeracy includes the ability to use mathematical operations and procedures to calculate,analyze and present scientific data and ideas.Haddam Killingworth High School Expectations for Student LearningThe Haddam Killingworth graduate will problem solveThe Haddam Killingworth graduate will access and analyze information.Enduring Understandings:The presence or absence of a H +1 is the cornerstone of acid/base chemistry and many solutionproperties.Acids and bases neutralize each other.Essential Question(s)What are the properties of acids and bases?How are acid/base solutions represented in pictures and equations?What does pH tell you?Students will know . . . .The nature and source of acid/base propertiesThe role of H +1 and OH -1 in determiningsolution propertiesStudents will be able to . . . .Explain the properties of acidsExplain the properties of basesDraw pictures and write equations that showacid/base solutions and their changes whenthe opposite solution is added.Calculate to and from pH valuesPerform a titration and its subsequentcalculations.Performance Tasks/Product(s):Titration of a previously prepared NaOH solution labProblem solveAccess & analyze dataKey Evaluation Criteria/Rubric Titles:Can pH and ion concentrations be correctly linked through math?Can the dominance of a particular acid/bas ion be appreciated and calculated?Can the pre and post neutralization species be correctly depicted in equation and picture form?Revised 2009Contributor: Jim DanielsProperty of RSD #1728
