 * Welcome to Physical Science**....

Physical Science Syllabus




 * Standards:**

SPS1. Students will investigate our current understanding of the atom.

a. Examine the structure of the atom in terms of

proton, electron, and neutron locations.

atomic mass and atomic number.

atoms with different numbers of neutrons (isotopes).

explain the relationship of the proton number to the element’s identity.

b. Compare and contrast ionic and covalent bonds in terms of electron movement.

SPS2. Students will explore the nature of matter, its classifications, and its system for naming

types of matter.

a. Calculate density when given a means to determine a substance’s mass and volume.

b. Predict formulas for stable binary ionic compounds based on balance of charges.

c. Use IUPAC nomenclature for transition between chemical names and chemical formulas of


 * binary ionic compounds (containing representative elements).


 * binary covalent compounds (i.e. carbon dioxide, carbon tetrachloride).

d. Demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Matter in a chemical reaction.

e. Apply the Law of Conservation of Matter by balancing the following types of chemical

equations:


 * Synthesis


 * Decomposition


 * Single Replacement


 * Double Replacement
