IPC - Unit V Overview

Chemical Reactions

Within the Chemical Reactions Unit, IPC students are expected to distinguish between physical and chemical changes, analyze energy changes within a chemical reaction, balance reactions and investigate and identify Law of Conservation of Mass.

Critical Questions:
  • What evidence gives proof of physical and chemical change of matter?
  • How does the Law of Consevation apply to chemistry?
  • What are the types of chemical reactions?

Suggested Time Frame: 4 Weeks

Student Performance Expectations

Key

Information in the brackets that is not in bold (8.2A) is the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skill (TEKS) that this objective is aligned to.

Information in the brackets that is in bold (8.2.11B) (8.2.12A) (11.2US10A) is the specific Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS- test) objective this objective is aligned to.

Distinguish between physical and chemical changes including properties and evidence of change (IPC 8A, B). 
Apply the Law of Conservation of Mass to balance chemical equations. Identify reactants and products of chemical equations (IPC 8C). 
Identify types of chemical reactions including; synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement and combustion (IPC 7D). 
Analyze energy changes that accompany chemical reactions such as those occurring in heat packs, cold packs, and glow sticks to classify them as endergonic and exergonic reactions. (IPC 8B, E)
