Given descriptions or illustrations of properties, students will determine whether the property is chemical or physical, and if it is physical, if it is intensive or extensive.

Given descriptions or specific element groups, students will use a Periodic Table to relate properties of chemical families to position on the table.

Given descriptions, scenarios, or illustrations, students will distinguish between the compressibility, structure, shape, and volume of solids, liquids, and gases.

Given descriptions, scenarios, or illustrations of properties, students will distinguish between pure substances and mixtures.

Given a diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum, students will relate the frequency to type of wave produced.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will use the light and energy formula to solve for frequency, wavelength, or energy.

Given descriptions, scenarios, or diagrams, students will calculate the average atomic mass by weighted average.

Given illustrations, diagrams, or descriptions, students will identify alpha, beta, or gamma radiation.

Given descriptions, scenarios, or groups/series of elements, students will use the Periodic Table to relate the size of the atomic radii, electronegativity, and ionization energy of elements to their position on the chart. Students will need to be familiar with the trends of the Periodic Table.

Given illustrations, symbols, or descriptions, students will balance nuclear equations.

Given diagrams, illustrations, symbols, or descriptions, student will distinguish between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.

Students will predict which elements will form covalent or ionic bonds. Includes the Kid2Kid video, Types of Bonding.

Given scenarios or summaries of historical events leading to modern-day atomic theory, students will identify the author and experimental design of each and the conclusion drawn from these experiments.

Given descriptions, diagrams, scenarios, or chemical symbols, students will model covalent bonds using electron dot formula (Lewis structures).

Given descriptions, scenarios, or diagrams, students will use Avogadro’s constant to calculate the weight in grams of a single atom or molecule of a substance.

Given descriptions, scenarios, or diagrams, students will use the Dalton’s Law of partial pressure to calculate the pressure of an individual gas or that of a mixture of gases.

Given diagrams, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify the types of energy.

Given illustrations, scenarios, descriptions, and/or diagrams, students will demonstrate understanding of heat transfer.

Given descriptions, diagrams, scenarios, or chemical symbols, students will calculate the energy changes and identify exothermic and endothermic reactions.

Given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify the process of calorimetry and calculate the heat of a chemical process.
