| GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: | The student will be able to recognize the tentative nature of scientific "mental models". Use a periodic chart and explain the symbols thereon. Describe in detail the parts of an atom; Utilize atoms to show various examples of different types of chemical bonding; describe how water is unique and how the pH system works; describe the various types of chemical reactions. To help students understand how the large biological molecules found in all living things are composed of relatively few basic subunits, how these subunits come together, and the large number of different molecules that can be produced from these building blocks. |
