The student will always be expected to use safe practices during laboratory and field investigations.
During this year my students will... - use critical thinking, scientific reasoning, and problem solving to make informed decisions. - understand the development of the Periodic Table and apply its predictive power. - understand the historical development of atomic theory. - know how atoms form ionic, metallic, and covalent bonds. - understand the changes that occur in a chemical reaction.
- understand the principles of ideal gas behavior, kinetic molecular theory, and the conditions that influence the behavior of gases. - understand and apply the factors that influence the behavior of solutions. - understand energy changes that occur in chemical reactions. - understand the basic process of of nuclear chemistry.
