I. Rationale The Chemistry course provides the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding about the relationships between the structure and properties of matter and the interaction of matter and energy. It also provides a solid foundation to build a strong intellectual stamina through teaching of problem solving skills focused on processes. Students who successfully complete the Chemistry course will have a smooth transition into the Biology course. The course is comprised of the following key units of study: matter and its changes, atomic structure, electron configuration, periodicity, bonding, molecular geometry, intra- and inter-molecular forces, energy in chemical processes, chemical composition, nomenclature, reactions, stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions, chemical equilibrium and kinetics. Laboratory activities reinforce concepts and principles presented in the course. The sequence of topics has been designed to use a scaffolding approach in introducing key chemistry concepts to the students with emphasis on demonstrating inter-connectedness between microscopic structures and macroscopic material properties. The concepts of atoms and atomic structures are introduced at the beginning of the course, followed by the electron configurations and organization of elements in the Period Table. Then the interactions between the atoms lead to the formation of individual chemical bonds, followed by the formation of molecules. Interactions between atoms, ions, and molecules determine the macroscopic material properties. The desire to achieve more stable states is the driving force behind chemical reactions. Chemistry is offered in three levels designed to accommodate individual student’s math and reading competency. The standard level course is a study of select topics of Chemistry accessible to the typical sophomore in the areas of atomic structure, electron configuration, periodicity, bonding, interactions between molecules, chemical compositions, chemical reactions, The Honors Chemistry level course is offered to students who have demonstrated an advanced proficiency in math and require less instruction on some of the more elementary mathematical concepts. This course presents these students with a broader range of topics at a deeper level of understanding plus a greater level of mathematical rigor. The Environmental Chemistry course is offered to the students who require more explicit instruction on the application of algebra based problem solving. This course offers a more conceptual approach, allowing students the opportunity to master the more essential skills and eliminating some of the more abstract subject matters. Students who have successfully completed Honors Chemistry courses may elect to move onto AP Chemistry. II. Course Descriptions This course is offered in three levels based on the student’s proficiency in math and performance in the freshman physics classes.

STATE STANDARD







HS-ESS2-6 Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere










27













BIG IDEAS/COMMON THREADS The world is composed mainly of compounds. The properties of each compound are based upon how the compound is bonded. The salts dissolved in earth’s oceans and the compounds that make up most of earth’s crust are held together by ionic bonds. Most compounds, however, including those in living organisms, are covalently bonded. Metals have unique properties that are utilized since ancient time. Matters are composed of molecules, ions and atoms. Interactions between those entities on the microscopic level determine the macroscopic properties of the matters.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS Compounds are formed by chemical bonds. Ions are formed by an atom losing or gaining valence electron(s). Covalent bonds result from sharing valence electrons. Ionic and covalent compounds have certain characteristics. Chemists discuss

28



compounds by using chemical formulas and names. Metals have unique properties due to mobile electrons in the system. The strength of the interactions defines many physical properties of the system. Systems with the strongest interactions are solids and weakest are gases. Interactions between systems are guided by intermolecular forces.

BIG IDEAS/COMMON THREADS Chemical reactions affect you all the time, whether it is life sustaining chemical processes occurring in the body or in a thunderstorm. There are many chemical reactions that can be organized into different categories. The mass of reactants and products can be calculated based on the Law of Conservation of Mass. Energy enables you to live, move from place to place, and stay comfortably warm and cool. Almost all of the energy we use comes from chemical reactions including those that take place in our body. All chemical reactions either absorb energy (are endothermic) or produce energy (are exothermic), as a result of the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.

35



ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS Chemists use statements called equations to represent chemical reactions. Chemists classify chemical reactions that occur regularly. Reactions in aqueous solutions are ones where water is the solvent. Based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, chemical equations have to be balanced, and the amount for each compound (or element) can be calculated. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed; however, energy can be converted from one form to another. Energy involved in chemical changes can be calculated and measured. They can be represented by writing thermochemical equations. Chemical reactions are affected by changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS PRIMARY: How are the several types of chemical reactions different and similar? How do chemical reactions make the products we rely on? How is energy involved in chemical and physical processes? SECONDARY: What are the different parts of a chemical reaction? What is the purpose of a chemical reaction? How are the different types of chemical reactions similar and different? How does the reactivity of a metal affect the outcome of a chemical reaction? How is matter conserved? What is the application of mathematical manipulations to the production of consumer products? How does the mole concept apply to making products in a chemical reaction? How does mass (grams) and volume (liters) relate during a chemical reaction? How can a desired amount of product be predicted using stoichiometry? How can a quantitative measure of success be determined? How to quantify energy of a substance in terms of mass, temperature and specific heat? What are involved in the energy changes associated with chemical reactions? How can models be used to simulate systems and interactions?
