Specific Learning Outcomes
Senior 1: Atoms and Elements
Overview
This cluster builds on the particle theory of matter learned in previous grades. Students become familiar with the basic constituents of matter by learning about the historical development of the atomic model and the periodic table. Various investigations of the properties of elements and compounds will acquaint students with chemical symbols and families, as well as with natural phenomena and everyday technologies that demonstrate chemical change.
Students will...
| S1-2-01 | Describe
how historical ideas and models furthered our understanding
of the nature of matter. Include: Greek ideas, alchemy, Lavoisier |
GLO: A1, A2, A4 |
| S1-2-02 | Investigate
the historical progression of the atomic model. Include: Dalton, Thompson, Rutherford, Bohr, quantum model |
GLO: A1, A2, A4, D3 |
| S1-2-03 | Define
element and identify symbols of some common elements. Include: the first 18 elements, K, Ca, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, I, Ag, Sn, Au, W, Hg, Pb, U |
GLO: C2, D3 |
| S1-2-04 | Explain the atomic structure of an atom in terms of the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons, and explain how those numbers define atomic number and atomic mass. | GLO: D3, E2 |
| S1-2-05 | Assemble or draw Bohr atomic models for the first 18 elements and group them according to the number of outer shell electrons. | GLO: A2, C2, D3 |
| S1-2-06 | Investigate
the development of the periodic table as a method
of organizing elements. Include: periods, families (groups) |
GLO: A2, A4, B2, E1 |
| S1-2-07 | Investigate
the characteristic properties of metals, non-metals,
and metalloids and classify elements according to
these properties. Examples: ductility, conductivity of heat and electricity, lustre, reactivity |
GLO: D3, E1 |
| S1-2-08 | Relate
the reactivity and stability of different families
of elements to their atomic structure. Include: alkali metals, alkaline earths, chalcogens, halogens, noble gases |
GLO: D3, D4, E1, E3 |
| S1-2-09 | Compare
elements to compounds. Include: atoms, molecules |
GLO: D3, E1, E2 |
| S1-2-10 | Interpret
chemical formulas of elements and compounds in terms
of the number of atoms of each element. Examples: He, H2, O2, H2O, CO2, NH3 |
GLO: C2, D3 |
| S1-2-11 | Investigate
properties of substances and explain the importance
of knowing these properties. Examples: usefulness, durability, safety |
GLO: A5, B2, D3, E1 |
| S1-2-12 | Differentiate between physical and chemical changes. | GLO: D3, E1, E3 |
| S1-2-13 | Experiment
to determine indicators of chemical change. Examples: colour change, production of heat and / or light, production of a gas or precipitate or new substance |
GLO: C2, D3, E3 |
| S1-2-14 | Investigate
technologies and natural phenomena that demonstrate
chemical change in everyday situations. Examples: photography, rusting, photosynthesis, combustion, baking |
GLO: A3, A5, B1, B2 |
