 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * // Students will understand that there there is a structure of atoms and this structure determines the chemical properties they exhibit. Students will be able to describe the structure of atoms; illustrate how bonds are formed in molecules; build models of molecules; compare and contrast the various elements in the periodic table; consider other reactions that can take place within a given molecule; and reflect on how chemical processes affect their everyday lives. Students will be asked to self-assess their understanding and progress in the course. They will learn how to review the work of their peers and how to use constructive criticism to revise their own work. Students will complete a pre-assessment test prior to starting the unit and each lesson, multiple formative assessments throughout the lessons in the form of entrance/exit tickets, clickers, "decisions, decisions", "give one, get one", slap it, triangular prism, standard quizzes, and be expected to self-reflect following any sort of assessment. At the end of the unit students will create an iMovie presentation that shows how they can apply chemical principles to their life. Students will create a portfolio that includes artifacts from physical and digital sources that show what they learned. // ||
