Chemistry (Note: periodic table is given)
 Classification of matter (e.g., pure substances vs. mixtures; heterogeneous vs. homogeneous)
 Gas tests for hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide
 Physical properties of matter (e.g., malleability, ductility, lustre, density, etc.)
 Physical change (e.g., change of state) vs. chemical change (e.g., combustibility)
 Contributions to atomic theory --- Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Chadwick, and Bohr
 Atomic number, atomic mass, and drawing Bohr-Rutherford diagrams
 Atom (neutral particle) vs. ion (charged particle because proton # and electron # are not equal)
 What are isotopes?
 Properties of chemical families/groups (e.g., noble gases have a full valence shell of electrons and are unreactive)
 Ionic compounds vs. molecular compounds --- type(s) of elements, what happens to valence electrons, state,
melting point/boiling point, solubility, and conductivity
 Naming compounds and writing formulas of compounds
 Counting atoms in a compound’s formula (e.g., H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen atoms, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms)
Electricity (Physics)
 Positively-charged object vs. negatively-charged object vs. neutral object --- what each situation means when
considering # of protons and # of electrons
 Law of Electric Charges (+ and + repel; – and – repel; + and – attract; charged objects attract neutral objects)
 Insulator vs. conductor
 Charging by friction, contact, and induction --- includes drawing diagrams! (Note: electrostatic/triboelectric series
is given)
 Current, potential difference/voltage, and resistance --- definitions of, units of, names of devices used to measure
each, and calculations involving each! (Note: formulas are provided)
 Forms of energy that electric potential energy can be transformed into (e.g., light)
 Factors affecting the resistance of a wire
 Series circuit vs. parallel circuit --- patterns for current and potential difference/voltage AND drawing them!
 Electrical safety (e.g., fuses, circuit breakers, three-prong plugs, ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs), etc.)
Sustaining Ecosystems (Biology)
 Definitions of: sustainability, biotic, abiotic, species, population, habitat, community, niche, biosphere,
atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, trophic level, producer, consumer (including primary, secondary, and
tertiary), decomposer, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, predator, prey, ecological footprint
 Nutrient cycles --- water, nitrogen, and carbon (including the word equations for photosynthesis and respiration)
 Analyze food webs
 Understand energy pyramids
 Ecosystem interactions --- competition, predation, and symbiosis (including mutualism, commensalism, and
parasitism)
 What causes a population to increase or decrease
 How humans have negatively impacted the environment (e.g., fossil fuel burning leads to global warming)
 How humans have positively affected the environment (e.g., in-situ and ex-situ biodiversity conservation
strategies)
