Chemistry - College Prep

Chemistry – College PrepItalics reflect 21 st Century Skills implementationCourse Title: ChemistryUnit Title: Atomic Structure, Historical Experiments, Moles, Grams, and Number of MolesContent Standards:9.4 - Atoms react with one another to form new molecules.Atoms have a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.The configuration of atoms and molecules determines the properties of the materials.9.5 – Due to its unique chemical structure, carbon forms many organic and inorganic compounds.Carbon atoms can bond to one another in chains, rings and branching networks to form a variety ofstructures, including fossil fuels, synthetic polymers and the large molecules of life.Chemistry:Atomic and Molecular StructureThe periodic table displays the elements in increasing atomic number and shows how periodicity of thephysical and chemical properties of the elements relates to atomic structure.Conservation of Matter and StoichiometryThe conservation of atoms in chemical reactions leads to the principle of conservation of matter and theability to calculate the mass of products and reactants.Physics - Electric and Magnetic PhenomenaElectric and magnetic phenomena are related and have many practical applications.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:Internal atomic structure was revealed by a series of indirect experimentsThe number and location of subatomic particles determines the different isotopes of the differentelements of the universeThe mole is a fundamental concept of chemistry and links the mass of atoms with the number of thoseatomsEssential Question(s)How did scientists determine atomic structure?Revised 2009Contributor: Jim DanielsProperty of RSD #177
