Chemistry 9-Week Course w/ Lab Experiments | (Part 2 of 4) Semester Course | w/ Report Card

In this 9-week course, students will learn about the periodic table and chemical reactions. The content is covered in the 2nd 9-week course in a conventional chemistry class. Engaged students learn content needed to successfully take assessments. 
 
Week 1 - Periodic Table Trends
  - Atomic radius, Ionic radius
Week 2 - Periodic Table Trends

Week 3 - Physical and Chemical Properties of Elements
  - Density, Conductivity
Week 4 - Physical and Chemical Properties of Elements
  - Malleability, Solubility, and Hardness
Week 5 - Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids & Noble Gases
Week 6 - Introduction to Chemical Bonding & Lab Experiment
Week 7 - Types of Chemical Bonds & Lab Experiment
  - Covalent bonds
Week 8 - Types of Chemical Bonds & Lab Experiment
  - Ionic bonds
Week 9 - Metallic Bonds

The students will learn to use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms. This section will be taught using the periodic table, interactive simulations/games, pictures, video clips, slides, discussions, lecture, and open-ended questions. The students will learn that substances react chemically in characteristic ways. The students will learn that the atoms that make up the original substances are regrouped into different molecules, and these new substances have different properties from those of the reactants. This section will be taught using the periodic table, interactive simulations/games, pictures, video clips, slides, discussions, lecture, and open-ended questions. The 3rd 9-Week Chemistry course will start where this course ends.
