Upon completion of Theme 5 on chemical change, students will achieve the following I CAN statements:
L1: How do I determine if a chemical change has occurred?
I CAN recognize several signs that indicate chemical change has occurred.
L2: What happens to the mass during a chemical reaction?
I CAN state the law of conservation of mass.
I CAN verify experimentally that the total mass of the products is the same as the total mass of the reactants during a chemical reaction.
I CAN recognize that mass can move between the system and surroundings but is still always conserved
L3: How do I show the conservation of mass in a chemical equation?
I CAN balance chemical equations to show that atoms are conserved during a chemical reaction.
L4: Are there different types of reactions?
I CAN observe common patterns in the rearrangements of elements/ions in a chemical equation.
I CAN identify the different types of reactions
L5: How to predict the products of a chemical reaction?
I CAN apply my knowledge of reaction types together with patterns on the periodic table to predict the products of a chemical reaction.
I CAN plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of chemical change
I CAN draw conclusions based on evidence and effectively communicate the results of an investigation
L6: How is energy involved in chemical reactions?
I CAN describe how energy change is involved in breaking and making chemical bonds during a reaction.
I CAN construct energy graphs to show energy change during an exothermic and endothermic process
L7: Can I speed up or slow down a chemical reaction?
I CAN apply collision theory to explain how different factors can influence the rate of a reaction.
I CAN draw a particle model to show how temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts can affect reaction rate
I CAN plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of a reaction rate variable
I CAN draw conclusions based on evidence and effectively communicate the results of an investigation
L8: Is a reaction reversible?
I CAN use a simulation and graph the results to understand how equilibrium is achieved
I CAN predict how various stresses added to a chemical system can cause a shift in chemical equilibrium
