Content Standards

sci.5.1 Elements and their combinations account for all the varied types of matter in the world. As a basis for understanding this concept:
sci.5.1a Students know that during chemical reactions the atoms in the reactants rearrange to form products with different properties.
sci.5.1b Students know all matter is made of atoms, which may combine to form molecules.
sci.5.1f Students know differences in chemical and physical properties of substances are used to separate mixtures and identify compounds.
sci.8.3 Each of the more than 100 elements of matter has distinct properties and a distinct atomic structure. All forms of matter are composed of one or more of the elements. As a basis for understanding this concept:
sci.8.3a Students know the structure of the atom and know it is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
sci.8.3b Students know that compounds are formed by combining two or more different elements and that compounds have properties that are different from their constituent elements.
sci.8.3c Students know atoms and molecules form solids by building up repeating patterns, such as the crystal structure of NaCl or long-chain polymers.
sci.8.3d Students know the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) depend on molecular motion.
