I can balance simple chemical equations applying the conservation of matter. (C5.2A)
I can distinguish between chemical and physical changes in terms of the properties of the reactants and
products (C5.2B)
I can draw pictures to distinguish the relationships between atoms in physical and chemical changes. (C5.2C)
I can describe energy changes associated with chemical reactions in terms of bonds broken and formed
(including intermolecular forces). (C2.1b)
I can predict single replacement reactions. (C5.6b)
I can use the terms endothermic and exothermic correctly to describe chemical reactions in the laboratory.
(C3.4A)
I can explain why chemical reactions will either release or absorb energy. (C3.4B)
Enduring Understanding(s):



Chemical reactions will either absorb or produce energy.
Matter is not created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Matter undergoes physical and chemical changes; chemical changes produce new products, while
physical changes do not produce new products.
Essential Questions(s):


How is matter conserved during a chemical reaction?
What is the role of energy in chemical reactions?
