Science Curriculum Matrix
Chemistry
August 1, 2009
The Science Vertical Team has revised the Chemistry Curriculum Matrix for 2009-2010. In addition to the necessary correlation
to the Virginia Science Standards of Learning, the Chemistry content is organized by both concepts and topics. We encourage
you to utilize this document while planning for instruction. A more dynamic version of this matrix is available on our wiki site at
http://acpsscience.pbworks.com/. We anticipate making additional updates to this document as the school year progresses.
Please contact Tony Borash with your comments and suggestions at [email protected].
In addition to this document, we recommend that you review the Chemistry Curriculum Framework for additional clarification
regarding the Chemistry Science SOL and the Chemistry Enhanced Scope and Sequence for unit and lesson planning resources.
Thanks,
The Science Vertical Team

Essential Understandings
Assessment Samples – SOL/Blooms
Students should understand:
Knowledge/Comprehension Level
• The periodic table is
arranged in order of
increasing atomic numbers.
• The atomic number of an
element is the same as the
number of protons.
• In a neutral atom, the
number of electrons is the
same as the number of
protons.
• All atoms of an element have
the same number of protons.
• The atomic mass for each
element is the weighted
average of that element’s
naturally occurring isotopes.
•
Students use colored counters that represent protons, electrons, and
neutrons to form different “atoms.” They should learn that if the number of
protons is changed, the identity of the element is changed. If the number
of neutrons is changed, the mass number is changed. If the number of
electrons is changed, the charge is changed. (See Appendix A)
Application/Analysis Level
•
Students use lima beans as a model of different isotopes. Students are
given small beans and large beans. Students can calculate the average
mass of each type of bean. Students are then given a sealed bean sample
that contains some small and some large beans. Based on the average
mass of their sample, they can calculate the percentage of each type of
bean, using algebra. (See Appendix B)

CONCEPT: SYSTEMS
ENDURING UNDERSTANDING: A system is an organized collection of parts, which display observable and predictable
patterns.
Essential Understandings
Assessment Samples – SOL/Blooms
Vocabulary
Students should understand:
• Periodicity is regularly
repeating patterns or trends
in the chemical and physical
properties of the elements
arranged in the periodic
table.
• Horizontal rows called
periods have predictable
properties based on an
increasing number of
electrons in the outer
orbitals.
• Vertical columns called groups
have similar properties
because of their similar
valence electron
configurations.
Knowledge/Comprehension Level
• Students are given a periodic table and they should be able to identify the
following features: periods, groups, alkali metal family, alkaline earth
family, transition metals, halogens, and noble gases.
Application/Analysis Level
•
Students should understand that if the formula of one compound is known,
then the formulas of similar compounds are predictable. For example, if the
formula of water is H2O, then the formulas of the other Group 16 hydrides
should be H2S, H2Se, and H2Te.
Synthesis/Evaluation Level
•
Students are given a set of cards that represent fictional elements. They
must arrange them in order of increasing atomic mass (just as Dimitri
Mendeleev did back in 1869). Students should look for similarities among
the elements so they can be classified into groups/families. The cards will
be set up so that there are two missing elements. These should create gaps
in their table. Just like Mendeleev, students should be able to predict
several properties of the missing elements, based on the existing trends.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDING: Properties characterize objects, organisms, and substances.
Essential Understandings
Students should understand:
• Matter is classified by its
chemical and physical
properties.
• Physical properties refer to
the condition or quality of a
substance that can be
observed or measured
without changing the
substance’s composition.
• Chemical properties refer
to the ability of a

Vocabulary
Knowledge/Comprehension Level
• Students should be able to classify a change as a physical change (e.g., ripping
paper, melting ice) or a chemical change (e.g., burning paper, electrolysis of
water) and explain their reasoning. Physical changes do not alter the chemical
identity of the substances involved. Chemical changes involve a change in
chemical identity and the formation of a new chemical substance. (See

Application/Analysis Level
•
Students should be able to classify examples of matter as mixture vs. pure
substance. If something is a mixture, students should be able to identify it as
homogeneous or heterogeneous. If something is a pure substance, students
should identify it as an element or a compound. If a mixture is separated or a
compound is decomposed, students should know if that would be a physical or
chemical change. (See Appendix B)
Synthesis/Evaluation Level
•
Before discussing the concept of mixture and pure substance, students will
discover the defining characteristics of these concepts on their own, through
the concept-attainment model. Examples and non-examples are revealed to
the students one at a time.
o Examples (mixtures): coffee, tea, milk, gasoline, soda, steel, saltwater,
blood, air
o Non-examples (pure substances): gold, silver, iron, oxygen, nitrogen,
water, ethanol, sucrose, salt, carbon dioxide
Students will brainstorm to come up with ideas about what all the examples

Laboratory Activity – Matter
Part 1 – Classifying Matter
At each lab station, you will see three samples of matter. Your job is to classify each sample as either
a MIXTURE, a COMPOUND, or an ELEMENT. Each lab station has one of each type of matter represented.
Station #1
Station #7
vinegar solution =
copper sulfate
salt (sodium chloride) =
hydrogen peroxide solution
copper =
nitrogen

Station #6
Station #12
iodine crystals =
copper
baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) =
methane (CH4)
iron and sulfur =

1.
A MIXTURE is defined as a sample of matter that represents a physical combination of more than one substance.
Fill in the blanks below with the names of the samples of matter from each lab station that you classified as a
MIXTURE:
#1
#5
#9
#2
#6
#10
#3
#7
#11
#4
#8
# 12
Mixtures are classified as either HOMOGENEOUS or HETEROGENEOUS. What’s the difference between these terms?
A HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE appears to be uniform throughout. In other words, it appears to look like just one phase or
one substance. On the other hand, in a HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE you can see and identify more than one
component or phase.
2.
Sort all 12 mixtures into one of the following categories:
HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURES
3.
HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURES
A COMPOUND is defined as a sample of matter that is formed from a chemical combination of more than one
element. Fill in the blanks below with the names of the samples of matter from each lab station that you classified
as a COMPOUND:
#1
#5
#9
#2
#6
#10
#3
#7
#11
#4
#8
# 12
It is very important that you understand the difference between a COMPOUND and a MIXTURE.
A COMPOUND has elements that are chemically bonded together.
A MIXTURE has components that are only physically combined together.
4.
If you wanted to separate a mixture into simpler substances, you could do it with a
change. On the other hand, if you wanted to break down a compound into simpler substances, you would need to
use a
change.
5.
An ELEMENT is defined as a sample of matter that CANNOT be broken down or decomposed by either a
physical or a chemical change. Fill in the blanks below with the names of the samples of matter from each lab
station that you classified as an ELEMENT:

Application/Analysis Level
•
Students will observe a “think tube” which has various ropes extending
from the sides. When a single rope is pulled as part of the teacher’s
demonstration, students must draw a diagram of what they think the
inside of the tube looks like. As more ropes are pulled, students are
challenged to explain a few seemingly impossible results and then modify
their diagrams accordingly. Students then can try to construct their own
think tube that will behave similarly to the teacher’s model.
Synthesis/Evaluation Level
•
Students can design their own mystery box, which contains a simple
geometric shape (e.g., triangle, square, circle) that is sandwiched between
two larger pieces of wood. The only way that the identity of the hidden
shape can be revealed is that other students can shoot marbles at the
mystery shape from different angles. Based on the deflection pattern of the
marbles, students try to guess what shape is inside the box. This activity is
somewhat parallel the Rutherford gold foil experiment.

SOL CH.5cdef – Appendix B
CALCULATING THE MOLAR HEAT OF FUSION OF ICE
Introduction
Water freezes at 0oC. Ice melts at the same temperature, 0oC. The amount of heat energy required
to melt one mole of ice at its melting point is known as the molar heat of fusion. The units for
the heat of fusion are normally given as kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol).
Most students are more familiar with the calorie (cal) than they are with the joule (J). One calorie is
defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree
Celsius. The conversion factor between calories and joules is as follows.
1 cal = 4.18 J
In this experiment you will melt a small quantity of ice in a Styrofoam cup that contains warm water.
You will then be able to use your data to calculate the molar heat of fusion of ice.
Laboratory Procedure
1. There should be a beaker filled with water at your lab station, as well as two Styrofoam cups
nested together. Record the mass of the clean, dry cups to the nearest 0.01 g.
2. Carefully pour water into the Styrofoam cup until the cup is approximately one-third full.
Record the mass of the cups with the water to the nearest 0.01 g.
3. Place the Styrofoam cup in a 400 mL beaker. This is done so that the cup does not tip
over. Record the initial temperature of the warm water to the nearest 0.1oC.
4. Obtain a cup of ice cubes and place them on a paper towel. Blot the excess water from
them so they are dry. IMMEDIATELY after you have recorded the water temperature,
carefully add two or three ice cubes to the water. The total mass is important, so do not allow
the water to splash or spill out of the cup.
5. Gently stir the ice water with the thermometer. Do not touch the bottom of your cup
with the thermometer. Your goal is to reach a temperature of exactly 0oC.
6. Once the water temperature reaches 0oC, place the thermometer on the counter so that it
doesn’t roll off the table. Carefully remove any extra pieces of ice with the plastic spoon. Try to
remove ice only (not water).
7. Record the mass of the Styrofoam cups with water and melted ice to the nearest 0.01 g.
8. Pour the water into the sink and place the cups upside-down on a towel to dry. Return any
unused ice to your teacher. Dry off the countertop.
9. If time permits, you can repeat the entire experiment to get data for a second trial.
