UNIT
2 - Matter and its Properties
In this unit students will investigate properties of solids, liquids, and gasses. Students will learn basics of Kinetic Theory. Students will investigate states of matter and energy transport associated with phases of matter. Students will learn to apply Boyle's and Charle's Laws as well as Bernoulli's principal. Students will investigate Physical and Chemical changes in matter and begin to classify matter such as homogeneous vs. heterogenous mixtures and suspensions vs. colloids. Students will learn and apply the Law of Conservation of Matter.

UNIT
3 - Atomic Structure & the Periodic Table
In this unit students will investigate properties of atoms and subatomic particles. Students will investigate different historical models of the atom. Students will identify elements by Atomic Number and Mass Number. Students will learn how to interpret the Periodic Table and identify groupings and trends among the different elements. Students will further investigate properties and uses of different groupings of elements as well as how they bond and combine in nature.

UNIT
4 - Chemical Bonds & Reactions
In this unit students will investigate different types of chemical bonds and reactions. Students will investigate and write chemical formulas. Students will distinguish between ionic and covalent bonds and naming of compounds formed by them. Students will identify oxidation numbers of substances. After learning about bonding, students will investigate the five different types of chemical reactions. Students will determine factors that affect reaction rates and equilibrium in chemical reactions. Students will identify reactants and products, and investigate energy emission and absorption during chemical reations.
