SCR2: Science Research II

SCR2.A: Content

SCR2.A.1: engage in scientific inquiry in chemistry topics by asking or responding to scientifically oriented questions, collecting and analyzing data, giving priority to evidence, formulating explanations based on evidence, connecting explanations to scientific knowledge, and communicating and justifying explanations

SCR2.A.2: engage in inquiry by asking or responding to chemistry oriented challenges and problems, collecting and analyzing data, giving priority to evidence, developing solutions based on evidence, connecting solutions to scientific knowledge, and communicating solutions

SCR2.A.3: analyze and interpret data to demonstrate if a hypothesis is supported by the data, or if a proposed engineering solution is viable

SCR2.A.4: plan and carry out investigations to test a chemistry-based hypothesis or evaluate a solution to a chemistry problem

SCR2.A.5: construct explanations to demonstrate an understanding of atomic and molecular structure to explain the properties of matter, and predict outcomes of chemical and nuclear reactions

SCR2.A.6: plan and carry out an investigation to determine and use data to justify that a new chemical has formed by identifying indicators of a chemical reaction (i.e., precipitate formation, gas evolution, color change, water production, and changes in energy to system)

SCR2.A.7: plan and carry out an investigation to gather evidence to compare the physical and chemical properties at the macroscopic scale to infer the strength of intermolecular and intramolecular forces; the investigation may include melting point, state of matter, solubility, viscosity, and conductivity

SCR2.A.8: plan and carry out an investigation to demonstrate the conceptual principle of limiting reactants

SCR2.A.9: plan and carry out an investigation to evaluate the factors that affect the rate at which a solute (i.e., solid or gas) dissolves in a specific solvent

SCR2.A.10: plan and carry out an investigation to explore acid-base neutralization

SCR2.A.11: plan and carry out an investigation to calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by chemical or physical processes
