Taxonomy Standards
Given examples, students will recognize the importance of taxonomy to the scientific community.
Taxonomy: Major Groups
Given illustrations or descriptions, students will determine the classification of organisms into domains and kingdoms.
Relationships Between Organisms: Food Chains, Webs, and Pyramids
Given illustrations, students will analyze the flow of matter and energy in food chains, food webs, and ecological pyramids.
Protein Synthesis
The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.
Cell Comparisons
Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
This resources allows students to explore the postulates of the Kinetic Molecular Theory in order to better understand why gas particles behave the way that they do.
Covalent Bonding: Electron Dot Diagrams
Given descriptions, diagrams, scenarios, or chemical symbols, students will model covalent bonds using electron dot formula (Lewis structures).
6 Chapter 6: Stoichiometry
In this chapter, students are introduced to the mole, mass relationships, and stoichiometric calculations with balanced equations.
2 Chapter 10: Light
In this chapter, we discuss visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
8 Chapter 3: Measurements
In this chapter, we strengthen math skills necessary for chemistry problems and discuss the SI units of measurement. Additionally, we convert between units of measurement and discuss interpreting data from graphs and tables.
3 Chapter 14: Nuclear Chemistry
In this chapter, we discuss nuclear reactions that occur in unstable nuclides.
8 Chapter 11: Electron Configuration and Periodic Trends
In this chapter, we discuss determining electron configurations and periodic trends.
3 Chapter 4: Science and Me
In this chapter, we will discuss how chemistry affects our everyday lives and how you can find careers in chemistry.
6 Chapter 8: Gases
In this chapter, we discuss the properties of gas particles and the laws that govern their behavior.
6 Chapter 12: Lewis Structures
In this chapter, we discuss how to write electron dot symbols for different compounds and the VSEPR Theory.
4 Chapter 13: pH Calculation
In this chapter, we discuss how to identify an acid or base and to find the pH of an acid or base.
3 Chapter 2: Scientific Methods
In this chapter, we discuss the general scope of science and chemistry, as well as the limitations of science. Additionally, we cover the steps of scientific methods and discoveries, and conduct an experiment to demonstrate appropriate procedures.
7 Chapter 9: Thermodynamics and Energy
In this chapter, we discuss energy changes in a reaction, and how to determine the energy produced or required by a reaction.
