Objectives

(Taken from TOPS Science labs & Glencoe chapter 1 & 3)

0.  Heat & energy labs

0.1  Explain how heat is transferred by conductionconvection and radiation.

0.2  Given selected example of energy transfer, describe the process in terms above.

0.3   In one sentence, identify the goal of each lab.  What did the lab try to teach you? Or what were you supposed to learn in each lab?

8.  Knows that matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms, and different arrangements of atoms into groups compose all substances

8.i.1  Understands the “particle model of matter” (or "kinetic molecular theory")

8.i.2  Can compare and contrast to “Dalton’s Atomic Theory

8.iii  Describe the distinction amongst the three states of matter and explain in terms of the kinetic theory, how they can be inter-converted

8.ii  Knows that states of matter depend on molecular arrangement and motion (e.g. molecules in solids are packed tightly together and their movement is restricted to vibrations; molecules in gases are quite far apart and move about freely)

8.ii.1  Knows that states of matter depend on molecular arrangement

8.ii.2  Knows that states of matter depend on molecular motion (kinetic energy’s relation to motion should be explained)

8.ii.3  Knows that molecules in solids are packed tightly together

8.ii.4  Knows that the movement of molecules in solids is restricted to vibrations

8.ii.5  Knows that the molecules in liquids are loosely packed

8.ii.6  Knows that the molecules in liquids move easily past each other

8.ii.7  Knows that the molecules in gases are far apart

8.ii.8  Knows that the molecules in gases move about freely

8.A  Can explain the concept of intermolecular forces (naming them Hydrogen bonds, dipole dipole etc. not necessary) and can demonstrate how intermolecular forces relate to physical changes and phase changes (i.e. water has strong attractions and therefore boil at a higher temperature )

8.B  Define and distinguish between Physical and Chemical Properties (lab used) and physical and chemical changes (demos) and apply this to particle model of matter

8.C  Substances

8.C.1  Distinguish between pure substances and mixtures using the particle model of matter

8.C.2  Identify and separate using chemical techniques (Separating Mixtures/Substances Lab) the components of a mixture

8.C.3  Classification of Matter: Apply the particle model to the terms element, compound, homogeneous mixture/solution, heterogeneous mixture
