“I Can” Study Guide Unit 1-3 I can define the general characteristics of an atom and its sub-atomic parts I can explain the basic statements made by Atomic Theory and its historical setting I can define what an element is, their source, and how they differ from other forms of matter I can differentiate (simply) between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion I can compare the complexity and rarity of various elements with some examples I can summarize the Law of Conservation of Matter and recognize examples that demonstrate it I can explain how and why the periodic table was developed and its historical setting and significance I can recognize and locate a series, group, and period on the periodic table I can locate, name, and explain the data found on a typical periodic table box I can predict relationships between elements given their location on the periodic table I can recall frequently used elements by name and symbol (from examples, labs, demos) I can use a periodic table as a tool to learn information about any element I can differentiate between Ions & Isotopes as well as between Atomic Number & Atomic Mass I can explain the criteria for a chemical versus a physical characteristic and how they are related I can list both physical and chemical properties of matter I can conclude if a chemical change and / or a physical change has taken place in a situation “I Can” Study Guide Unit 1-3 I can define the general characteristics of an atom and its sub-atomic parts I can explain the basic statements made by Atomic Theory and its historical setting I can define what an element is, their source, and how they differ from other forms of matter I can differentiate (simply) between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion I can compare the complexity and rarity of various elements with some examples I can summarize the Law of Conservation of Matter and recognize examples that demonstrate it I can explain how and why the periodic table was developed and its historical setting and significance I can recognize and locate a series, group, and period on the periodic table I can locate, name, and explain the data found on a typical periodic table box I can predict relationships between elements given their location on the periodic table I can recall frequently used elements by name and symbol (from examples, labs, demos) I can use a periodic table as a tool to learn information about any element I can differentiate between Ions & Isotopes as well as between Atomic Number & Atomic Mass I can explain the criteria for a chemical versus a physical characteristic and how they are related I can list both physical and chemical properties of matter I can conclude if a chemical change and / or a physical change has taken place in a situation
