Chem Unit 01 Matter and Change

Unit 01: Matter and Change

I understand that the world around me consists of matter that undergoes both chemical and physical change and that this is the basis of the study and practice of chemistry.

Target 01-01 Define the broad based term ‘chemistry’ as well as the specialization areas (careers) in chemistry.

“I can” statements:

01-01 a: I can define the broad based term ‘chemistry’ as well as the specialization areas (careers) in chemistry (Branches of Chemistry).

01-01 b: I can classify topics of study or careers into the branches of chemistry.

Target 01-02 Classify matter and properties.

“I can” statements:

01-02 a: Distinguish between the physical properties and chemical properties of matter.

01-02 b: Classify changes of matter as physical or chemical.

01-02 c: Model particle position and motion for the gas, liquid, solid, and plasma states using Kinetic Molecular Theory.

01-02 d: Distinguish between classifications of matter including elements, compounds, and mixtures (heterogeneous, solutions, colloids, suspensions).

01-02 e: Separate a mixture into its components using its properties.

Target 01-03 Apply the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy to laboratory situations.

“I can” statements:

01-03 a: Explain how the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy applies to changes of matter.

01-03 b: Explain how percent discrepancy can be determined in a conservation of mass situation.

Target 00-01 Communicate in subject specific style.

“I can” statements:

00-01 a: Identify common laboratory equipment.

00-01 b: Use the lab skills of decant and filter to separate a mixture.

00-01 c: Write a lab report using appropriate form.

00-01 d: Write a two part purpose and a procedure in third person, past tense.

00-01 e: Analyze a mixture for percent composition.

00-01 f: Calculate percent discrepancy.

00-01 g: Write a complete conclusion in third person, past tense for a lab report including a claim and evidence to support the claim.

Target: 00-02 Use symbols for ions and identify ions from their symbols.

“I can” statements:

00-02 a: Use a periodic table to name elements, given their symbols. (move toward not needing the periodic table to write names.

00-02 b.: Use a periodic table to write the symbols of elements, given their names. (move toward not needing the periodic table to write symbols)

00-02 c: Given an element, list the most common ion and name of the ion.

00-02 d: Explain the difference between writing the symbols and names for elements and writing the symbols and names for their most common ions.

00-02 e: Given the ion, write its correct symbol and read ion symbols. Use the periodic table to determine trends in naming ions.

Target: 00-03 Use the Periodic Table to predict the properties of elements.

“I can” statements:

00-03 a: Describe the arrangement of the periodic table.

00-03 b: List the characteristics that distinguish metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

00-03 c: Use the periodic table to predict the properties of an element including color, phases at room temperature, malleability, conductivity of heat and electricity, and ductility.

00-03 d: Use the periodic table to predict the ion charge of an element.
