Teacher:
Bartlett
Unit Title: Solutions and Solubility
Standards / Benchmarks: –
Standard:
Students will develop an understanding of the characteristics and interrelationships of
matter and energy in the physical world.
Benchmark: Manipulating and analyzing quantitative using the SI system (Analyzing
solubility curves)
Standards Analysis:
.What students are expected to know:
1)The effects of temperature on the solubility of a
gas and on a solid
Critical Questions or Statements:
Relevance: Meaningful context for teaching these
Essential learning for this Unit
standards and benchmarks that engages [even
reluctant learners] students in learning?
Is there a limit as to how much solute can
dissolve in a solvent and how does this
relate to a solubility curve?
What students are expected to do:
2)Reading and interpreting and creating solubility
Curves
3) Predicting the amount of solid that will dissolved
or the amount of precipitate produced at a given
temperature
4) Calculating concentration of a solution
How do we make a saturated solution?
5) Determining the type of solution (saturated,
supersaturated or unsaturated).
How does the concentration of a saturated
solution of NaCl and KCl compare?
6) Know terms such as precipitate, solute, solvent,
concentrated, saturated, supersaturated and
unsaturated solutions.
Can you differentiate between density and
concentration?
7) Create and analyze solubility graphs.
What is the effect of temperature on
solubility?
Are all solutes soluble in all solvents
How is the concentration of a saturated
solution calculated?
.
This unit requires that the students spend a great deal
of time creating and analyzing graphs. This is an
essential skill required for all future science courses.
Pre-assessment tools / strategies:
Differentiation strategies:
Pre-assess by brain storming terms that relate to
solubility and have a class discussion of these
terms to determine the student’s prior
knowledge.
Hel sessions for those who need more practice with
graphing.
