What Chemistry I covers
Scientific and Engineering Practices
- CH.1.AQ — Ask questions and define problems based on observations, models, theories, or unexpected results.
- CH.1.PI — Plan and carry out investigations or test design solutions safely and effectively.
- CH.1.IA — Interpret, analyze, and evaluate data to make scientific claims or optimize designs.
- CH.1.CC — Construct and critique conclusions and explanations based on evidence.
- CH.1.MD — Develop and use models to illustrate or predict relationships.
- CH.1.CI — Obtain, evaluate, and communicate scientific and technical information.
Atomic Structure and Periodic Table
- CH.2.AS — Investigate and understand that elements have properties based on their atomic structure and that the periodic table is an organizational tool for elements based on these properties.
Chemical Reactions and Bonding
- CH.3.CR — Investigate and understand that atoms are conserved in chemical reactions and use chemical properties to describe and predict chemical interactions.
Molar Relationships
- CH.4.MR — Investigate and understand that molar relationships compare and predict chemical quantities.
Solutions
- CH.5.SO — Investigate and understand that solutions behave in predictable and quantifiable ways.
Phases of Matter and Kinetic Molecular Theory
- CH.6.PM — Investigate and understand that the phases of matter are explained by the kinetic molecular theory.
Thermodynamics
- CH.7.TH — Investigate and understand that thermodynamics explains the relationship between matter and energy.
