I Can Statements for NGSS7th grade ScienceDCMSCary/Evans

Chemical Reactions: Science and Engineering Practices

I can use the scientific method to create an original

experiment.

Chemical Reactions: Connections to ELA

I can write a lab report that cites specific textual

evidence to support analysis of experiments

and includes visual models of data.

07-PS1-2: Chemical Reactions

I can identify pure substances by

their physical and chemical

properties.

07-PS1-2: Chemical Reactions

I can identify the electron as the part

of the atom that allows two or more atoms to combine.

07-PS1-2: Chemical Reactions

I can distinguish between physical

and chemical changes to

determine if a chemical reaction

has occurred.

07-PS1-2: Chemical Reactions

I can explain how compounds are

different than the elements that form

them.

07-PS1-2: Chemical Reactions

I can explain how the reactants have

different properties from the products in a chemical reaction.

07-PS1-5: Chemical Reactions

I can develop a model that demonstrates

how mass is conserved during a chemical reaction.

07-PS1-5: Chemical Reactions

I can explain how matter is conserved because

atoms are conserved in physical and chemical

processes.

07-PS1-6: Chemical Reactions

I can design, construct, test, and modify a device that either

releases or absorbs thermal energy by

chemical processes.

07-PS1-6: Chemical Reactions

I can design, construct, test, and modify a device that either

releases or absorbs thermal energy by

chemical processes.
