These concepts include the characteristics of alpha, beta particles, and gamma radiation; a comparison of fission and fusion; and the process of radioactive decay. Prior to this unit, students have had very little experience with nuclear chemistry. If students have taken IPC, they will have had an opportunity to study the concept at a very basic level. During this unit, the concepts of nuclear chemistry will be introduced. For the majority of students, public perception will likely make up the prior knowledge that they bring to this unit. This page 1 of 12

2 will be the last time these concepts are directly taught before the STAAR assessment. After this unit, students may choose to explore the content further during the Chemistry Connections unit. STAAR Note: Balancing nuclear equations will be tested as a Readiness Standard under Reporting Category 2: Atomic Structure and Nuclear Chemistry. According to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in the Benchmarks for Science Literacy (Project 2061) [online version], by the end of the 12 th grade, students should know that: The nuclear forces that hold the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom together are much stronger than the electric forces between the protons and electrons of the atom. That is why much greater amounts of energy are released from nuclear reactions than from chemical reactions. 4G/H6* American Association for the Advancement of Science. (1993). Benchmarks on-line. Retrieved 9/27/11, from MISCONCEPTIONS/UNDERDEVELOPED CONCEPTS: MISCONCEPTIONS: Students may think nuclear chemistry is the study of weapons and power.

The English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS), as required by 19 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 74, Subchapter A, 74.4, outline English language proficiency level descriptors and student expectations for English language learners (ELLs). School districts are required to implement ELPS as an integral part of each subject in the required curriculum. School districts shall provide instruction in the knowledge and skills of the foundation and enrichment curriculum in a manner that is linguistically accommodated commensurate with the student s levels of English language proficiency to ensure that the student learns the knowledge and skills in the required curriculum. School districts shall provide content-based instruction including the cross-curricular second language acquisition essential knowledge and skills in subsection (c) of the ELPS in a manner that is linguistically accommodated to help the student acquire English language proficiency. ELPS.c.1 ELPS.c.1C ELPS.c.5 Cross-curricular second language acquisition/learning strategies. The ELL uses language learning strategies to develop an awareness of his or her own learning processes in all content areas. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across the foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. The student is expected to: use strategic learning techniques such as concept mapping, drawing, memorizing, comparing, contrasting, and reviewing to acquire basic and grade-level vocabulary Cross-curricular second language acquisition/writing. The ELL writes in a variety of forms with increasing accuracy to effectively address a specific purpose and audience in all content areas. ELLs may be at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of English language acquisition in writing. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. For Kindergarten and Grade 1, certain of these page 11 of 12

12 ELPS# ELPS.c.5F ELPS.c.5G SUBSECTION C: CROSS-CURRICULAR SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. student expectations do not apply until the student has reached the stage of generating original written text using a standard writing system. The student is expected to: write using a variety of grade-appropriate sentence lengths, patterns, and connecting words to combine phrases, clauses, and sentences in increasingly accurate ways as more English is acquired narrate, describe, and explain with increasing specificity and detail to fulfill content area writing needs as more English is acquired. page 12 of 12
