The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.

Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.

Given examples, descriptions, and illustrations, students will be able to describe the role of DNA, RNA, and environmental factors in cell differentiation.

Students will understand Bohr’s experimental design and conclusions that lead to the development of his model of the atom, as well as the limitations of his model.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will predict the shape of molecules based upon the extent of the electron pair electrostatic repulsion.

Given scenarios or diagrams, students will describe the nature of metallic bonding and explain properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility of metals.

Given descriptors, diagrams, and chemical symbols, students will use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration of neutral atoms.

Given descriptions, diagrams, or scenarios, students will write and name the chemical formulas of binary covalent compounds.

Given descriptions, diagrams, scenarios, or chemical symbols, students will model ionic bonds using electron dot formulas.

Given descriptions or chemical formula of a substance, students will use the concept of a mole to relate atomic mass to molar mass.

Given scenarios, graphs, diagrams, or illustrations, the student will determine the type of solution such as saturated, supersaturated, or unsaturated.

In this video, we will name cations and anions to prepare for naming ionic compounds.

In this video, we will discuss how to name an ionic compound and determine its formula.

In this video, we will learn how to name molecular compounds formed by nonmetallic elements.

In this video, we will differentiate between acids and bases while also naming them.

In this video, we will describe the unique properties of water and how those affect biological systems.

In this video, we will learn what makes a solution and how to measure the concentration of a solution.

In this video, we will discuss factors that affect the solubility and the rate of dissolution in a solution.

In this video, we will identify strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes, and nonelectrolytes, as well as discuss the solubility of ionic solids.

In this video, we will discuss precipitation reactions, molecular equations, complete ionic equations, and net ionic equations.
