Unit Title: Measurements and Calculations

Year level: Third Year

Designers: Joselito P. Mendoza

Stage 1 – Desired Results

Established Goals (e.g. Content Standards):

The learner demonstrates understanding of basic concepts and processes

in Chemistry, Physics, Space Science and Ecology in integrative way to
analyze/solve problems critically, think innovatively/creatively and makes
informed decisions in order to protect the environment, conserve
resources, sustain quality life and respect ethical considerations in using
technology.

Understanding(s): Students will Essential Question(s):

understand that...
Scientific notation is a method for
making very large or very small
numbers more compact and easier
to write.
Unit is a part of a measurement
that tells us what scale or standard
is being used to represent the
results of the measurement.
How very large or very small
numbers can be expressed in
scientific notation?
What if you are not allowed to use
units for one day? How would it
affect your life for that day?
How would you know the number of
significant figures in computation?

The certain digits and first
uncertain digit of a measurement is
called significant figures.
Precision refers to how close two or
more measurements made of the
same object are.
In measurement, how will you know
that the measurement is accurate or
precise? How will you differentiate
the two?
How dimensional analysis can be
used to solve problems?

Accuracy refers to the agreement Why is it important to know how to

between an experimental value and convert one unit to another unit?
a standard value. How does this conversion unit help
you in your daily living?
Dimensional analysis is a double-
edged sword. It is both extremely
useful and quite dangerous.

Unit Title: CHEMICAL FOUNDATIONS: ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND

IONS

Year level: Third Year

Designers: Joselito P. Mendoza

Stage 1 – Desired Results

Established Goals (e.g. Content Standards):
The learner demonstrates understanding of basic concepts and processes
in Chemistry, Physics, Space Science and Ecology in integrative way to
analyze/solve problems critically, think innovatively/creatively and makes
informed decisions in order to protect the environment, conserve
resources, sustain quality life and respect ethical considerations in using
technology.
Understanding(s): Students will
understand that...
Element is any substance that can
no longer be separated into its
components by chemical means.
At present, about 115 different
elements are known, 88 of which
occur naturally and the rest have
been made in laboratories.
Names of the chemical elements
have come from many sources.
Sometimes the names come from
description of the element
properties, sometimes the name
reflects the place where the
element was discovered, and
sometimes the name honors a
famous scientist.
The idea about Dalton’s theory of
atoms
Compound is a distinct substance
that is composed of the atoms of
two or more elements and always
contains exactly \the same relative
masses of those elements.
In a chemical formula, the atoms
are indicated by the element
symbols and the number of each
type of atom is indicated by a
subscript, a number that appears to
the right of and below the symbol
for the element.
The structure of atoms and the
different particles inside it.
There are lots of studies made by
different scientist just to know the
structure of the atom.
The chemistry of an atom arises
from its electrons.
All atoms of the same element have
Essential Question(s):
What element is nearly half of the
earth’s crust, oceans, and
atmosphere?
What percent of the mass of the
crust, ocean, and atmosphere do
the top nine elements make?
How they give name to element and
what are their basis in giving name?
How does Dalton’s model explain
the law of constant composition?
How was Dalton able to predict the
formation of multiple compounds
between the elements?
Did Dalton’s model of the atom
include protons, neutrons, and
electrons inside the atoms?
How will you write a formula of a
compound?
How will you differentiate element
from compound?
How the study of different scientist
does helps in the discovery of the
structure of atom?
Which of the subatomic particles
are not responsible for the chemical
properties of an element?
How did the discovery of the
neutron lead to the concept of
isotopes?
How does the fact that isotopes
exist change Dalton’s model?
How are elements in the same
family on the periodic table similar?
How does the location of an element
on the periodic table help you
the same number of protons (the determine its properties?
elements atomic number) and the
same number of electrons.
In a free atom, the positive and
negative charges always balance to
yield a net zero charge.

Isotopes are atoms with the same

number of protons but different
numbers of neutrons.

Atomic number is the number of

protons in the nucleus of a given
atom.

Mass number is the total number of

protons and neutrons in the nucleus
of a given atom.

There are various features of the

periodic table.

Elements are classifieds according

to their properties such as metals,
non metals, and metalloids.

The elements are listed on the

periodic table in order of increasing
atomic number. They are also
arranged in specific horizontal rows
and vertical columns.
