Standard 1.2: Properties of Matter
L1. Draw and label the parts of an atom. Please include: (think: nucleus, electron cloud, protons,
neutrons, electrons)
L2. Please draw and describe the three states of matter (solids, liquids, gases) as they occur on Earth
-Compare and contrast them in terms of energy and bonding.
-What is the difference between a solid, a liquid and a gas?(think: volume, shape, bonds)

L4. Please describe why the periodic table is the arranged the way it is. Why is it called the periodic table?
L4. Please describe how Rutherford’s experiment determined the structure of an atom. (4)
How did the experiment work?
What observations did he make?
What can we learn from these observations?
Standard 1.4: Chemical Bonding
L1. Define valence electron.
-where are they found?
-what do they determine?
L2. Why are valence electrons important? Please describe the role that electrons play in atomic bonding:
L2.5 Covalent bonds form when atoms ________________ electrons.
Ionic bonds form when electrons are __________________ from one atom to another.

Water!
L1. Give the chemical formula for water:
L2. Please draw a diagram of a water molecule:
L3. They say water is polar. Describe what that means.
-polarity:
-Why is water polar?
L4. Please describe how the following four properties make water essential to life:
-Heat absorption
-Density
-Universal Solvent
-Why won’t oil dissolve in water?
Standards 1.3 and 2.1: Matter in the Ecosystem
L1. Define energy:
L2. Draw and label a trophic level pyramid and describe how energy is transferred through the levels. How
much is lost at EACH level?
L3. Answer the following questions to describe how energy enters and passes through a trophic level
pyramid.
-where how does energy enter the trophic level pyramid? Where does it come from?
-how much energy is lost at each level?
-why are most trophic level pyramids limited to four levels? (describe how the law of conservation of
energy applies here)

L4. Please explain how keystone species maintain balance in a healthy ecosystem. Then describe the
possible effects of adding non-native species to different ecosystems.
L4.Describe how competition for resources tends to influence the health of populations.
