Objectives
NGSSS
SC.912.P.8.7 – Interpret formula representations of molecules and compounds in terms of composition and structure.
SC.912.L.18.12 – Discuss the special properties of water that contribute to Earth’s suitability as an environment for life:
cohesive behavior, ability to moderate temperature, expansion upon freezing, and versatility as a solvent.
SC.912.L.18.1 – Describe the basic molecular structures and primary functions of the four major categories of biological
macromolecules
SC.912.L.18.2 – Describe important structural characteristics of monosaccharides, disaccharide, and polysaccharides and
explain the function of carbohydrates in living things.
SC.912.L.18.3 – Describe the structures of fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids and steroids. Explain the functions of
lipids in living organisms. Identify some reactions that fatty acids undergo. Relate the structure and function of cell
membranes.
SC.912.L.18.4 – Describe the structures of proteins and amino acids. Explain the functions of proteins in living organisms.
Identify some reactions that amino acids undergo. Relate the structure and function of enzymes.
SC.912.L.18.11 – Explain the role of enzymes as catalysts that lower the activation energy of biochemical reactions.
Identify factors, such as pH and temperature, and their effect on enzyme activity.
1.
The student understands that all matter has observable, measurable properties.

The student knows that the electron configuration of atoms determines how a substance reacts and how much
energy is involved in its reactions.

The student knows that the vast diversity of the properties of materials is primarily due to variation in the
forces that hold molecules together.

The student know that a change from one form of matter to another involves the gain or loss of energy.

The student know that concentrations (bonds) form between substances when outershell electrons are either
transferred or shared between their atoms, changing the properties of the substances. SC.G.1.4.3 SC.B.1.4.2
2. The student understands the basic principles of atomic theory

The student know that the number and configuration of electrons will equal the number the number of protons in
an electrically neutral atom and when an atom gains or loses electrons, the charge is unbalanced

The student knows the difference between an element, a molecule, and a compound.

The student knows that a number of elements have heavier, unstable nuclei that decay spontaneously giving off
smaller particles and waves that result in a small loss of mass and release large amounts of energy.

The student know that elements are arranged into groups and families based on similarities in electron structure
and that their physical and chemical properties can be predicted
3. The student knows how the properties of water relate to biological functions in organisms.
