In this unit students will demonstrate an understanding that chemicals react in predictable ways and will investigate different types of chemical reactions. They will assess the significant implications of chemical reactions and their applications for society and the environment.

By the end of this unit, students should be able to

• • Explain and apply the law of conservation of mass. (C2)

  • Identify what substances are the reactants and what substances are the products in a chemical reaction. (C2)

  • Count atoms in a given chemical formula. (C2)

  • Understand how chemical reactions are balanced using coefficients (C2)

  • Identify and differentiate between a coefficient and a subscript. (C2)

  • Read and understand a balanced chemical equation. (C2)

  • Write and balance chemical equations. (C2)

  • Recognize when a chemical change takes place. (C1)

  • Perform a composition, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement reaction. (C3)

  • Describe how elements are rearranged during each type of reaction. (C3)

  • Make observations of chemical reactions and categorize them.(C3)

  • Use the given reactants in a double replacement reaction to predict the possible products. (C3)

  • Use data from observations to make evidence-based conclusions. (C3)

  • Predict the products of a combustion reaction.(C3)

  • Identify a reversible and a nonreversible reaction. (C3)

  • Indicate that a precipitate can form from the reaction of two aqueous solutions.(C2)

  • Write a chemical equation for a reaction that produces a precipitate.(C3)

  • Understand the components described by a net ionic equation.(C2)

  • Describe each type of chemical reaction.(C3)
