Chemistar: Resources for the Chemistry Student and Science Teacher

**Chemistry Unit 1: Measurement, Matter, and the Laboratory**
Daily Plans, Part 1 Daily Plans, Part 2
Course Goals: Develop your understanding of the nature of science as it pertains to the physical world. Understand and describe, qualitatively and quantitatively, the chemical nature of matter and apply your understanding to natural phenomena you observe in everyday life Better use technology in your learning, becoming a better digital citizen		Course Essential Questions How can we study things that are to small to see?¹ How might scientific inquiry be used to investigation the natural world? How can I use my experience in chemistry to learn to think and communicate clearly, logically, and critically in preparation for college and a career? How can I best assess my own learning and progress?
Unit Essential Questions Aren't all chemicals dangerous? How can we work safely with chemicals? How are the basic concepts, skills, and understandings in chemistry related to one another? interrelated? How are the properties of compounds, elements, solutions, mixtures important to our work with these substances? How can properties of matter be measured and described? In what ways can data be used to visualize, display, and share new information?		Understandings Practicing lab safety is foundational to all lab work. The SI measurement system is used by scientists worldwide. Chemical and physical properties are described using recorded observations and measurements that are both precise and accurate. Measurements and observations are analyzed using mathematical processes to discover connections and trends. Calculations and analysis are the justification for your results.
Observation, Description, and Analysis of Matter: Students will be able to....
Describe the differences between pure substances, mixtures, solutions, elements, and compounds using the terms heterogeneous and homogeneous. Sketch and interpret particle models of pure substances, mixtures, solutions, elements, and compounds. Describe each process of interconversion of states of matter in words and in particles, using a sketch. Describe each process of interconversion in terms of energy (thermal) lost or gained. Use both element names and symbols for 48 common elements, using periodic table with both names and symbols. List common substances containing some of the elements. Three basic laws describe how matter behaves in chemical reactions. List and describe each. Know names, symbols, and location on the periodic table for common elements
