ODE Revised Science Standards Chemistry is a high school level course, which satisfies the Ohio Core science graduation requirements of Ohio Revised Code Section 3313.603. This section of Ohio law requires a three-unit course with inquiry-based laboratory experience that engages students in asking valid scientific questions and gathering and analyzing information. This course introduces students to key concepts and theories that provide a foundation for further study in other sciences as well as advanced science disciplines. Chemistry comprises a systematic study of the //predictive //physical interactions of matter and subsequent events that occur in the natural world. The study of matter through the exploration of classification, its structure and its interactions is how this course is organized. Investigations are used to understand and explain the behavior of matter in a variety of inquiry and design scenarios that incorporate scientific reasoning, analysis, communication skills and real-world applications. An understanding of leading theories and how they have informed current knowledge prepares students with higher order cognitive capabilities of evaluation, prediction and application. || During the years of grades 9 through 12, all students must use the following scientific processes with appropriate laboratory safety techniques to construct their knowledge and understanding in all science content areas: ||
 * Standards & Model Curriculum **
 * **Course Description**
 * **Science Inquiry and Application**

• Design and conduct scientific investigations; • Use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications; • Formulate and revise explanations and models using logic and evidence (critical thinking); •Recognize and analyze explanations and models; and •Communicate and support a scientific argument. ||
 * • Identify questions and concepts that guide scientific investigations;

The following topics may be taught in any order. There is no ODE-recommended sequence. Structure and Properties of Matter Atomic structure Evolution of atomic models/theory Electrons Electron configurations Periodic table Properties Trends Intramolecular chemical bonding Ionic Polar/covalent Representing compounds Formula writing Nomenclature Models and shapes (Lewis structures, ball and stick, molecular geometries) Quantifying matter Limiting reagents Nuclear Reactions Radioisotopes Nuclear energy || =**[|PBL website]**= =‍Sample Student Inquiry Investigation: (Describe your sample inquiry here)= =Equilibrium= =What stresses to a chemical reaction will cause equilibrium shifts?= =Independent- Stress applied (add or remove reactancts, increase or decrease temperature)=
