Appendix – Implementation of Academic Standards

High School Chemistry Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS) for Oklahoma

Process Standard 5.1 – Interpret an atomic model which explains a given set of observations.

Process Standard 5.2 - Select predictions based on models (e.g., electron configuration, bonding, compound formation), and when appropriate, apply mathematical reasoning to make accurate predictions.

Standard 1.1 – Matter is made of atoms. Atoms are composed of subatomic particles.

Standard 1.2 – Atoms interact with one another by transferring or sharing outer electrons that are farthest from the nucleus. These outer electrons govern the chemical properties of the element.

Standard 1.4.a – Valence electrons govern the chemical properties and reactivity of the element.

Standard 2.1 Chemical substances react in definite molar weight proportions and mass is conserved. Balanced chemical equations are used to determine molar ratios.

Standard 3.2 – Chemical reactions in a system either release energy to the surroundings or absorb energy from the surroundings, as a result of breaking or forming bonds between atoms.

Common Core Standards – Science

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.9-10.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to the precise details of explanations or descriptions.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.9-10.3 Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks, attending to special cases or exceptions defined in the text.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.9-10.7 Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words.
