Higher-Order Student Engagement
(Specific activities/tasks that will actively engage students in higher order learning)
SC1 Students will analyze the nature of matter and its classifications.
b. Identify substances based on chemical and physical properties.
c. Predict formulas for stable ionic compounds (binary and tertiary) based on
balance of charges.
d. Use IUPAC nomenclature for both chemical names and formulas:
• Ionic compounds (Binary and tertiary)
• Covalent compounds (Binary and tertiary)
