I can explain the

general trend of what
happens when water
heats and cools as it
relates to density or
life

I can explain why 4C is important to

aquatic life

I can explain why 4C is important in

terms density

used you, your household, and your
class or school and identify areas I
can reduce water usage
I can model a water cycle that uses
accurate percentages and/or volumes
to indicate the amount of water
involved in each step
I can explain why 4C is important to
aquatic life, how it relates to the
density of water, and what
implications it has in terms of
dissolved oxygen and nutrients

chemical formulas and chemical
equations.

I can model, draw or build atoms,

elements, compounds, chemical
formulas and chemical equations.

I can model, draw and build atoms,

elements, compounds, chemical
formulas and chemical equations.

Water 5d

I can draw, build, or model covalent bonding and

ionic bonding.

I can draw or build a representation of the atom for

atoms beyond the third row of the periodic table
I can use the periodic table to determine the number
of valence electrons, and in turn, use this information
to model chemical bonds.
I can determine which element atoms are trying to
behave like by losing, gaining, or sharing electrons
based on their Lewis dot structures
I can compare and contrast covalent bonding and
ionic bonding.

I can identify a chemical

equation.

equation, but it is not
balanced.

I can identify a balanced chemical equation.

Ex. C + O2 CO2 is a balanced equation

I can write and model a balanced a simple chemical

equation.
Ex. One carbon atom plus two oxygen atoms yields
one carbon dioxide molecule. The total number of
atoms is conserved.
