Chemistry 11 NGSS Standards

The following standards are taught and assessed in Chemistry 11. Since NGSS science standards are complex, standards are reported in the JMC gradebook as the simplified phrases listed below.

C1: Atomic Particles and Waves

NGSS(HS-PS1-8): Develop models to illustrate the changes in the composition of the nucleus of the atom and the energy released during the processes of fission, fusion, and radioactive decay.
NGSS(HS-PS4-3): Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the other.
NGSS(HS-PS4-4): Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter.
NGSS(HS-PS1-1): Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
NGSS(HS-PS1-3): Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles.

C2: Equilibrium and Change

NGSS(HS-PS1-6): Refine the design of a chemical system by specifying a change in conditions that would produce increased amounts of products at equilibrium.

C3: Conservation and Transfer

NGSS(HS-ESS1-3): Communicate scientific ideas about the way stars, over their life cycle, produce elements.
NGSS(HS-PS1-2): Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
NGSS(HS-PS1-7): Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.

C4: Energy Storage and Exchange

NGSS(HS-PS1-4): Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond energy.
NGSS(HS-PS1-5): Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.

C5: Ratio and Scale

NGSS(HS-PS2-6): Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.

Science Skill Standards

The following science skill standards are also assessed in Chemistry 11. These standards, however, do not appear in the JMC gradebook. Assessments (labs and tests) are organized according to these standards.

S1: Using visual models to explain science concepts

NGSS(HS-PS1-8): Develop models to illustrate the changes in the composition of the nucleus of the atom and the energy released during the processes of fission, fusion, and radioactive decay.
NGSS(HS-PS1-1): Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
NGSS(HS-PS1-2): Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
NGSS(HS-PS1-4): Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond energy.
NGSS(HS-PS1-6): Refine the design of a chemical system by specifying a change in conditions that would produce increased amounts of products at equilibrium.

S2: Analyzing data using trends, graphs, and statistics

NGSS(HS-PS1-5): Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.

S3: Using mathematical models to show data trends or problem-solve

NGSS(HS-PS1-7): Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.

S4: Asking skeptical questions to seek knowledge or confront error/bias

NGSS(HS-PS4-3): Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the other.
NGSS(HS-PS4-4): Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter.

S5: Designing/Implementing experimental procedure, gathering data, and reporting results

NGSS(HS-PS1-3): Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles.

S6: Generalizing, applying and communicating science concepts

NGSS(HS-ESS1-3): Communicate scientific ideas about the way stars, over their life cycle, produce elements.
NGSS(HS-PS2-6): Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.
