Ch. 3 “I CAN” Statements
DUE DATE: 2 DAYS BEFORE UNIT TEST
□
***** I can list and explain/describe the properties of life.
(from 1.4)
□
1. I can balance a given chemical equation…see board for example to
demonstrate understanding here!
□
2. I can explain how balancing chemical equations relates to the Law
of Conservation of Matter.
□
3. I can use the periodic table to determine and depict atomic
structure of various elements (including valence electrons)…use N, O,
S, P, K, and Ca as examples to demonstrate your understanding!
□
4. I can use the periodic table to determine what/how bonds will form
between specific elements.
□
5. I can correctly identify the reactants and products from given
chemical equations….see board for example to demonstrate
understanding here!
□
6. I can explain why atoms form bonds.
□
7. I can list the various types of chemical bonds…and give an example
of each.
□
8. I can C/C (compare and contrast) the various types of bonds.
□
9. I can list and explain the properties of water that make it a unique
substance for life.
□
10. I can recognize the six most common elements in organic
molecules.
□
11. I can C/C acids and bases..
□
12. I can use the pH scale to determine or describe the acidity or
alkalinity of a solution
□
13. I can explain how carbon can join to other carbon atoms in chains
and rings to form large and complex molecules.
□
14. I can describe and/or recognize the composition (meaning what
elements make them up) of the four major categories of organic
molecules.
□
15. I can explain and/or recognize the general structure of the major
complex organic molecules that compose living organisms.
□
16. I can explain the primary functions of the major complex organic
molecules that compose living organisms.
□
17. I can C/C the four major categories of organic molecules.
□
18. I can recognize and explain that macromolecules such as lipids
contain high energy bonds…plus explain what constitutes a high
energy bond!
□
19. I can explain the role of enzymes and other proteins (e.g.,
hemoglobin, digestion, hormones) in biochemical functions.
□
20. I can compare the structure and function of a human body system
or subsystem to a nonliving system (i.e. making analogies).
□
21. I can recognize and describe that both living and nonliving things
are composed of compounds, which are themselves made up of
elements joined by energy-containing bonds (such as those in ATP).
□
22. I can explain how all living things get (or obtain) their energy.
