Rigorous Curriculum Design—Unit Planning Organizer Blank 33DEKALB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT RIGOROUS CURRICULUM DESIGN UNIT PLANNING ORGANIZER Subject(s) Science Grade and 8th Grade Physical Science Course Unit of Study Structure and Properties of Matter Timeframe: Date To Date: Pacing 12 weeks; 60 Total days (55 Instructional Days, 5 Buffer Days) “Unwrapped” Priority Common Core State Standards Skills and Concepts S8P1. OBTAIN, EVALUATE, and COMMUNICATE information about the structure and properties of matter. a. DEVELOP and USE a model to COMPARE and CONTRAST pure substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures. (Clarification statement: Include heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. Types of bonds and compounds will be addressed in high school physical science.) b. DEVELOP and USE models to DESCRIBE the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma states when thermal energy is added or removed. c. PLAN and CARRY OUT investigations to COMPARE and CONTRAST chemical (i.e., reactivity, combustibility) and physical (i.e., density, melting point, boiling point) properties of matter. d. CONSTRUCT an ARGUMENT based on observational evidence to support the claim that when a change in a substance occurs, it can be classified as either chemical or physical. (Clarification statement: Evidence could include ability to separate mixtures, development of a gas, formation of a precipitate, change in energy, color, and/or form.) e. DEVELOP models (e.g., atomic-level models, including drawings, and computer representations) by ANALYZE patterns within the periodic table that illustrate the structure, composition, and characteristics of atoms (protons, neutrons, and electrons) and simple molecules.

Construct an explanation based on evidence to describe conservation of matter in a chemical reaction including the resulting differences between products and reactants. (Clarification statement: Evidence could include models such as balanced chemical equations.) S8P2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the law of conservation of energy to develop arguments that energy can transform from one form to another within a system. d. Plan and carry out investigations on the effects of heat transfer on molecular motion as it relates to the collision of atoms (conduction), through space (radiation), or in currents in a liquid or a gas (convection).

Student Version: A ready-to-print copy of the student assessment including scoring guide when age appropriate. 2. Teacher Version: Include answer key for selected response questions and a scoring guide for constructed-response questions and the corresponding priority standard code. Consider including a “Big Ideas” questions on the Post-Assessment (sample template on subsequent page). Choose whether to: attach the assessments within this document, link to the assessments, or provide the specific path to find the assessments. Also, add a scoring guide for each assessment (template below).
