1 UC A-G Chemistry Grman Learning Center (052344) Basic Curse Infrmatin Title: UC A-G Chemistry Transcript abbreviatins: A-G Chem / A-G Chem Length f curse: Full Year Subject area: Labratry Science ("d") / Chemistry UC hnrs designatin? N Prerequisites: Algebra 1 (Required) C-requisites: Algebra 2 (Recmmended) Integrated (Academics / CTE)? N Grade levels: 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th Curse learning envirnment: Classrm Based Curse Descriptin Curse verview: This is a high schl chemistry curse geared twards cllege bund students. Thrugh textbk, websites, prjects, activities, investigatins, cursewrk and labratry exercises, students will develp an understanding f:. Labratry and field exercises will help students develp critical thinking skills, perfrm cllectin and analysis f data prficiently, and understand prper labratry prcedures. Students will develp critical thinking skills necessary t nt nly understand key cncepts, but be able t apply, analyze, and synthesize these cncepts. This curse is created t give ptins t students wh learn in different ways while ensuring that all students will be able t ask questins, define and slve prblems thrugh investigatins, analyze and interpret data and use it t create mdels, argue using evidence, and verall think critically abut earth science. By curse end, students will be expected t ask gd questins, evaluate surces fr credibility, use prir knwledge t supprt theries, and think critically in rder t cmmunicate scientific infrmatin effectively. Curse cntent:

2 Unit 1 - The Nature f Science and Intr t Chemistry Define chemistry and identify the benefits and imprtance f studying it. Learn and use the scientific methd in rder t cnduct research and labs fr the entire curse. Understand that chemistry, as all sciences, takes inquiry and investigatin. Students will learn t hypthesize and investigate using the scientific methd. This will be used thrughut the labs the entire year. Learn t critically analyze the data frm labs and apply the cncepts being learned t the data and results f the labs. Learn the basics abut elements, cmpunds, and mixtures Practice measuring things in SI units Example Lab and Activity Assciated with Unit 1: Lab Optin: Design and Investigate a Hypthesis Students will frm a simple hypthesis abut smething they can bserve and test in the span f ne class perid They will bserve, test, and recrd data based n the scientific methd A lab reprt will be written as an intrductin t writing lab reprts Activity Optin: Measuring Items in SI Units Students will be given numerus items They will measure the items in cm, ml, grams, etc. Students will recrd measurements Measurements will als be taken in inches, unces, etc. in rder t make cmparisns between the different units f measure Unit 2: Atms and the Peridic Table

3 Learn the structure f an atm and the functin f each subatmic particle Understand hw electrns are arranged in atms Observe hw the emissin spectrum wrks with the quantum mechanical mdel Be able t use the peridic table t determine the structure f atms and electrn cnfiguratins Use the peridic table t determine atmic mass and the number r prtns, electrns, and neutrns Example Lab and Activity Assciated with Unit 2: Lab Optin: Flame Tests Students will test the emissin spectra f different chlride cmpunds After bserving and recrding data, students will hypthesize Activity Optin: Electrn Cnfiguratins Students will be given different elements t write electrn cnfiguratins fr Students will evaluate each ther s electrn cnfiguratins fr accuracy They will then write the nble gas cnfiguratins fr the same elements Each student will write tw electrn cnfiguratins fr elements f their chice They will trade with a peer and identify the elements Unit 3: Chemical Bnding Learn hw cvalent bnding and inic bnding wrk

4 Name cmpunds and mlecules apprpriately Write frmulas fr cmpunds and mlecules Understand the basics f acids and bases Be able t name acids and bases and write frmulas fr them Example Lab and Activity Assciated with Unit 3: Lab Optin: Names and Frmulas fr Inic Cmpunds Students will mix different slutins and bserve the precipitates Students will write the chemical frmulas fr the precipitates The precipitates will then be named Activity Optin: Create a Flw Chart Students will create a chart that rganizes inic and cvalent bnds The chart will include characteristics, naming rules, and ther imprtant infrmatin Unit 4: The Mle, Chemical Reactins, and Stichimetry Learn what the mle is what it is used fr Be able t cmplete mle cnversins Determine percent cmpsitin and chemical frmulas Balance and classify chemical equatins Cmplete stichimetric calculatins t determine mles r mass f specific cmpunds Find the percent yield and the percent cmpsitin f chemical cmpunds

5 Example Lab and Activity Assciated with Unit 4: Lab Optin: Calculate Percent Cmpsitin Students will be given hydrate cmpunds in test tubes The test tubes will be heated until all water vapr is gne Students will cmpare the starting and ending masses in rder t calculate the percent cmpsitin f water Activity Optin: Stichimetry Practice Students will practice stichimetry cnversins Mle t mle Mle t mass Mass t mass Students will apply these cncepts in a hands-n activity invlving baking sda Unit 5: States f Matter Understand and apply the kinetic mlecular thery while slving critical thinking prblems abut the states f matter Learn hw the kinetic mlecular thery applies t changes in the state f matter Understand hw pressure, vlume, temperature, and mlar mass affect each ther Be able t slve equatins using the gas laws Learn the prperties f water Understand hw slutins wrk and what they are cmpsed f Be able t calculate mlarity and mlality Example Lab and Activity Assciated with Unit 5: Lab Optin: Electrlytes Numerus slutins will be given t each grup f students The slutins will be tested fr reactivity with different slid materials Based n the reactins bserved, students will determine which slutins are electrlytes and which nes are nt

6 Activity Optin: Density f Carbn Dixide Students will cmbine vinegar and baking sda t create carbn dixide gas The carbn dixide gas will be pured thrugh an aluminum fil cylinder At the end f the cylinder, there will be a candle and it will be extinguished by the carbn dixide gas Unit 6: Thermchemistry, Reactin Rates, and Equilibrium Define energy Trace the path f energy (enthalpy) thrugh a chemical reactin Calculate change in enthalpy thrugh changes in state Define reactin rate Apply the cncept f the kinetic mlecular thery t the rate f a reactin Learn hw equilibrium wrks Be able t calculate slubility prduct cnstants Example Lab and Activity Assciated with Unit 6: Lab Optin: Enthalpy f Fusin fr Ice Using ht water and ice, students will calculate the amunt f heat evlved as the ice melts Activity Optin: Burning Steel wl Students will rll a piece f steel wl int a tight ball and heat it ver a flame Observatins will recrded The secnd test will invlve steel wl rlled int a lse ball and heated the same way Students will relate the reactins bserved t the surface area f each ball f steel wl
