SCIENCE-11
ESSENTIAL UNIT 2 (E02)
(Introduction to Chemistry)
(June 2011)
Unit Statement: The student will demonstrate mastery of introductory Physical Science
concepts within the discipline of Chemistry. The student will also examine the physical
and chemical properties of matter and use inquiry to explore physical and chemical
reactions in nature’s elements.
Essential Outcomes: (assessed for mastery)
1. The Student Will define and apply all Key Terms and Concepts.
2. TSW practice correct lab safety procedures with associated lab materials.
3. TSW classify matter by their physical and chemical properties.
4.
TSW calculate volume and density.
5. TSW model each physical molecular state of matter including the effects of
temperature and pressure.
6. TSW explain the organization, parts, and trends of the periodic table of the
elements.
7. TSW distinguish between physical and chemical reactions.
8. TSW apply the Law of Conservation of Matter.
9. TSW compare and contrast mixtures and solutions.
10. TSW compare and contrast acids and bases.
11. TSW explore and discuss current events in science.
Key Terms and Concepts:
physical property/physical reaction
chemical property/chemical reaction
compound
molecule
mixture
bond
ion
Law of Conservation of Matter

The Investigative Project This is a project that asks a question, constructs a theory
or hypothesis, draws a conclusion and then tests that hypothesis by designing and
conducting an experiment using the scientific method. By far, this is the most
popular type of science project. Grade-level wave-simulation content is expected
to demonstrate mastery.
Lab Activities Teachers can evaluate students’ content mastery through practical,
written or verbal demonstration during Lab Activities.
Work Book The student text is a consumable workbook in which students can
express understanding and mastery from text-based manipulation.
