Enduring Understandings for Course (Performance Objectives): What will students understand (about what big ideas) as a result of the course? Elements are never used up. As we study nature, we find patterns that help us understand our world. A relatively small number of elements form an almost infinite number of substances. Chemical reactions occur constantly in your body and our world. Chemists can change the rate of reaction; these changes affect our daily life. Course Learning Goals (including WA State Standards, Common Core Standards, National Standards): What is the key knowledge and skill needed to develop the desired understandings?
Unit: The Structure of the Atom which each unit is focused? Power Standards: INQE Scientific Investigation involves the development of a theory or conceptual model that can generate testable predictions. INQC Conclusions must be logical, based on evidence, and consistent with prior established knowledge. Complementary Standards: PS2A Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. PS2B Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The electron arrangement determines the atom s behavior. PS2J The number of neutrons determines the isotope of the atom. Radioactive isotopes are unstable and emit particles and/or radiation. Unit: Periodicity which each unit is focused? PowerStandards: INQE Scientific Investigation involves development of a theory or conceptual model PS2C When elements are listed in order according to the number of protons, repeating patterns of physical and chemical properties identify families of elements with similar properties. This Periodic Table is a consequence of the repeating pattern of outermost electrons. Complimentary Standards: PS2B Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.

Chemical reactions release or acquire energy from their surroundings and result in the formation of new substances. Complimentary Standards: PS2D (9 12) Ions are produced when atoms or molecules lose or gain electrons, thereby gaining a positive or negative electrical charge. Ions of opposite charge are attracted to each other, forming ionic bonds. PS2E (9 12) Molecular compounds are composed of two or more elements bonded together in a fixed proportion by sharing electrons between atoms, forming covalent bonds.
