Chemistry involves the study of the structure, composition, properties, and reactions of matter. Topics include laboratory safety and techniques, history of atomic theory, periodicity of elements, balancing of equations, bonding of atoms to form compounds, chemical reactions, gas laws, acid/base theory, and kinetic theory of heat, nuclear chemistry, and chemistry's relations to other areas of science.

Focus of the Story	How has our understanding of the atom evolved over time? We begin by looking at how chemistry surrounds us in our everyday lives. We will then look at the structure of the atom, the smallest unit of matter, which will be a part of our study throughout the whole course.	How do intermolecular forces and the type of bonding determine physical and chemical properties of a compound? Next we will look at how the position of an element on the periodic table will help us to predict how the atom will behave. We will learn how atoms form bonds based on how their electrons interact.	How is stoichiometry useful? Next, we will learn how chemical equations are used to describe the number and arrangement of atoms in chemical reactions. We will also use a type of math for chemistry to help us describe the composition and quantities in a chemical reaction.	How are gas behaviors predicted from variables and mathematical relationships? Finally, we will learn how solids, liquids, and gases behave in a predictable manner. We will also learn how temperature plays a role in how much of a substance will dissolve in a liquid.
Transfer Goals	Ask questions driven by curiosity on a given event or process in the natural world based on observations or data. (Thinkers and Inquirers) Plan and carry out investigations or use a design process to answer a question or solve a problem. (Problem Solvers and Value Creators)	Ask questions driven by curiosity on a given event or process in the natural world based on observations or data. (Thinkers and Inquirers) Analyze and interpret data to determine its validity or usefulness, identify patterns and relationships, and/or draw conclusions.

Learning Targets	I will investigate and understand how elements have properties based on their atomic structure. I can describe how ions and isotopes are formed.	I can describe how predictable patterns of properties emerge with the arrangement of elements on the periodic table. I will explain how atoms bond based on electron interactions. I can describe how and why atoms are conserved in chemical reactions.	I will investigate and understand how to use mathematical relationships to compare and predict chemical quantities. I will describe how energy changes in reactions occur as bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.	I will investigate and understand how temperature plays a role in the amount of a substance that will dissolve in a liquid. I will describe how solids, liquids, and gases behave.
