10th Grade Chemistry - Science at CIC with Ms. Luckasavitch



10th Grade ChemistryQuarter 1, 2017Ms. L. LuckasavitchRoom SS15Email: lluckasavitch@cic-.veWebsite: luckasavitch.Course Description:Chemistry is an experimental science that combines academic study with the acquisition of practical and investigational skills. In this course, topics of study will include the basics of scientific investigation and measurement, matter and atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, chemical reactions and?stoichiometry, states of matter, thermochemistry and equilibrium, and nuclear chemistry. Students will also be delving into the Earth Science by studying Earth's systems, climate change, and the relationship between the environment and humans. ??Textbook: Modern Chemistry, Sarquis and Sarquis, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017Materials:Ringed BinderPens, pencils, erasersCalculatorUnits of Study:Unit 1: Introduction to Chemistry (5 weeks)Chapter 1 Matter and ChangeChapter 2 Measurement and CalculationsObjectives: Students will understand and demonstrate the role of chemistry in society; they will classify matter, state physical and chemical changes/properties of matter; they will demonstrate the use of the scientific method, measurement and errors, significant figures, and SI units.Essential Questions: In what ways is chemistry relevant in our world today? How do we categorize and describe things in science? How does one go about performing science? How are the results of scientific investigations measured and calculated? Desired outcomes: The students will be able to...Understand what the study of chemistry entails and the importance of it.Explain how basic research, applied research, and technology are related. Discuss the impact that chemists have on the world today. Classify matter according to its composition and distinguish among elements, compounds, homogeneous mixtures, and heterogeneous mixtures.Describe the characteristic properties (extensive, intensive, physical, and chemical) of matter.Classify changes of matter as physical or chemical.Distinguish among the four main states of matter.Explain the role of energy when matter undergoes change.Describe how elements are arranged in the periodic table.Identify and state the properties, including physical state, of metals, metalloids, and non-metals.Identify and demonstrate the steps and methods that scientists often use to solve problems.State the differences between a hypothesis and a theory.Use the SI system to measure and convert between quantities.Understand the importance of accuracy and precision.Identify the source and the amount of uncertainty in measurements by calculating percent error.Understand the importance of, and how to determine, significant figures in measurements and calculations.Use scientific notation to express numbers.Describe directly and indirectly proportional relationships.Unit 2: Atoms (3 weeks) Chapter 3 Atoms: The Building Blocks of MatterObjectives: Students will track the development of atomic theory and express amounts of atoms in manageable ways. Essential Questions: In what ways has our idea of an atom changed over time? How do scientists express amounts when discussing atoms? Desired outcomes: The students will be able to...Describe the three basic laws that depict how matter behaves in chemical reactions.State the postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory, and describe why not all are true today. Describe subatomic particles and the overall structure of an atom.Describe the contributions of Thomson, Millikan, and Rutherford to our understanding of the atom.Understand and use atomic numbers and mass numbers to distinguish elements.Explain the role of isotopes in determining the atomic mass of an element and calculate average atomic mass. Relate the mass of an atom to the number of atoms in a sample, using moles, Avogadro’s number, and molar mass.Evaluation:Formative Assessments Quizzes, scientific literature assessments, labs, projects, presentations30%Summative Assignments Tests, scientific literature assessments, labs, projects, presentations70%Next Generation Science Standards Performance Expectations ................
