ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
Why are units important?
Why do we use the metric system?
Why do we need a System International (SI) measuring system?
What instruments and units are used to express measurements in science?
How do we express really small numbers and really large numbers?
UNDERSTANDINGS / APPLICATIONS / SKILLS / NATURE OF SCIENCE:
1.1 Introduction to Chemistry
1.1.U1: Chemistry is the study of atomic structure and molecular interactions.
1.1.A1: A fundamental understanding of basic chemistry can help us understand the world we live in.
1.1.A2: Safety Data Sheets provide information on various chemical substances, their use in the workplace, and their management.
1.2 Measurement
1.2.U1: Matter has properties related to its structure that can be measured and used to identify, classify and describe substances or objects.
1.2.U2: Matter can be described quantitatively with appropriate units and prefixes.
1.2.S1: Significant Figures are used in measurements to indicate precision.
1.2.S2: Exponential and scientific notation are efficient ways to write large and small numbers.
1.2.S3 All measurements have some degree of uncertainty and percent error.
