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.
SPS3. Students will distinguish the characteristics and components of radioactivity.
a. Differentiate among alpha and beta particles and gamma radiation.
b. Differentiate between fission and fusion.
c. Explain the process half-life as related to radioactive decay.
d. Describe nuclear energy, its practical application as an alternative energy source, and
its potential problems.
SPS4. Students will investigate the arrangement of the Periodic Table.
a. Determine the trends of the following:
Number of valence electrons
Types of ions formed by representative elements
Location of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids
Phases at room temperature
b. Use the Periodic Table to predict the above properties for representative elements.
SPS5. Students will compare and contrast the phases of matter as they relate to atomic and molecular motion.
a. Compare and contrast the atomic/molecular motion of solids, liquids, gases and plasmas.
b. Relate temperature, pressure, and volume of gases to the behavior of gases.
S8P1. Students will examine the scientific view of the nature of matter.
a. Distinguish between atoms and molecules.
c. Describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas states.
f. Recognize that there are more than 100 elements and some have similar properties as shown on the Periodic Table of Elements.
1. Describe molecular motion of solids, liquids, gases and plasmas.
2. Describe Boyle's and Charles' Law (P V T)
3. How is the Periodic Table arranged? What does the atomic number tell us? Atomic mass? How can you find the
number of protons, neutrons, and electrons?
4. What do elements in a group/family have in common? What does the group number tell you?
5. What do the rows /periods on the periodic table tell you?
6. Where are the metals located on the periodic table? Nonmetals? Metalloids?
7. What are the names of each group?
8. What are isotopes?
9. What is radioactivity? Radioactive decay?
