1 Exemplar Lesson 01: Conservation of Mass Exemplar Lesson 02: Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions Exemplar Lesson 03: Nuclear Reactions State Resources: RATIONALE: This unit bundles student expectations that relate to chemical reactions, including the conservation of mass, chemical changes, energy transfer in reactions, and types of reactions. Prior to this unit, in middle school, students studied the conservation of mass and evidence of chemical reactions. During this unit, students demonstrate that mass is conserved when substances undergo chemical change and the number and kind of atoms are the same in the reactants and products. In addition, they recognize valence electrons and that the behavior of valence electrons are responsible for chemical changes. Students also analyze specific chemical reactions to identify whether the energy changes are endothermic or exothermic. After this unit, students address the environmental impact of the end-products of chemical reactions. 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 12th grade, students should know that scientists can bring information, insights, and analytical skills to bear on matters of public concern. Acting in their areas of expertise, scientists can help people understand the likely causes of events and estimate their possible effects. This unit s discussion of endproducts will allow students to realize that the effects of some processes can be predicted in advance and managed if necessary.

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) 1C 1E C(3) Subsection C: Cross-curricular second language acquisition essential knowledge and skills. 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. Internalize new basic and academic language by using and reusing it in meaningful ways in speaking and writing activities that build concept and language attainment. Cross-curricular second language acquisition/speaking. The ELL speaks in a variety of modes for a variety of purposes with an awareness of different language registers (formal/informal) using vocabulary with increasing fluency and accuracy in language arts and all content areas. ELLs may be at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of English language acquisition in speaking. 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: 2012, TESCCC 09/07/12 page 6 of 7

7 3D C(5) 5G Speak using grade-level content area vocabulary in context to internalize new English words and build academic language proficiency. 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 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: Narrate, describe, and explain with increasing specificity and detail to fulfill content area writing needs as more English is acquired. 2012, TESCCC 09/07/12 page 7 of 7
