1 FIRST NINE WEEKS 1 Aug. 6 1 Aug. 7 2 Aug Aug Aug Sept. 7 (Sept.3 Labor Day) 6 Sept Sept Sept Oct Introduction to Course Added Characteristics Living things (2 Days) Overarching Science Engineering Practices These concepts and skills should be continuously embedded during instruction, as well as through laboratory experiences, throughout the course/year. FB.2.1 FB.2.2 FB.2.3 Atomic Structure The PeriodicTable Chemical Bonding Classroom Expectations/Syllabus/Overview Course Requirements/Administer Learning Styles Inventories Develop criteria to differentiate between living and non-living things. Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to produce data to answer questions, test hypotheses and predictions, and develop explanations or evaluate design solutions, which require the following: Select and use appropriate tools or instruments to collect data, and represent data in an appropriate form. ADD: safety symbols/procedures SI measurement. Identify dependent and independent variables and appropriate controls. Analyze and interpret various types data sets, using appropriate mathematics, in order to verify or refute the hypothesis or determine an optimal design solution. (Graphing) Construct an explanation observed relationships between variables. Communicate scientific and/or technical information in various formats. Develop and use simple atomic models to describe the components elements (e.g., relative position, charges protons, neutrons, and electrons). Obtain and use information about elements (e.g., chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and group or family) to describe the organization the periodic table. Relate chemical reactivity to an element s position on the periodic table. Use this information to determine what type bond will form between elements (ionic, covalent, hydrogen). FB.2. ph Analyze and interpret data to classify common solutions such as acids, bases, or neutral. Communicate the importance ph in living systems. FB.2.5 F.B.2.6 F.B.2.7 Properties Water Organic Compounds Enzyme Activity Science Engineering Practices Investigate how the properties water (e.g., cohesion, adhesion, heat capacity, solvent properties)contribute to the maintenance living cells and organisms. Explain the role the major biomolecules (carbohydrates, proteins including enzymes, lipids, and nucleic acids) to the survival living organisms.
