Document:Chemistry Unit 2 – Finding Patterns-1 Abstract: This unit, Finding Patterns, takes an inquiry approach to understanding the patterns of properties that exist among the elements. These patterns in properties are then linked to the wave-mechanics concept of atomic structure and the quantum atom. Beginning with isotopes and average atomic mass, as a way of understanding the importance of the...

Document: Soapy Water Abstract: vYou have been an employee at Schultz-Johnson Water Treatment for seven years but recently promoted to the water treatment cohort.  The cohort is responsible for managing how the waste treatment plant removes environmentally harmful impurities, such as soap from waste water before returning it to the environment.  You’ve recently learned that soap has to react with...

Document: Copper Wire in Silver Nitrate Abstract: Determine the relative number of moles of reactant and product for a chemical reaction.  

Document: Science Unit 3 (Revised)-2 Abstract: Unit three is Exploring Change, specifically bonds, energy, and reactions.  The change to be investigated will include indicators of chemical reactions as they relate to chemical bonding and energy changes. Chapters 7 and 8 cover ionic and covalent bonding respectively, while chapters 9 and 19 are the introduction to stoichiometry, chemical reactions. Again, a review...
