Unit 1: Matter and Energy
Unit Objectives:
At the completion of this unit, students will be able to
1. Define chemistry, matter, & energy.
2. Explain the difference between mixtures and pure substances.
3. Compare elements, compounds, & mixtures and explain how they can be differentiated.
4. Identify the seven (7) diatomic elements.
5. Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
6. Describe, identify, and differentiate between the four states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) in terms of energy, particle motion, and phase transitions.
7. Use physical and chemical properties to classify and describe matter.
8. Perform calculations related to density and use density to predict behavior of solids and liquids when immersed in water or other mediums.
9. Identify and distinguish between chemical and physical changes.
10. List the 4 indications that a chemical reaction (change) has taken place.
