08.1 SOCIAL STUDIES - HISTORY
08.1.1.9.4
-- Students will evaluate data within the historical, social, political and economic context in which it was created, testing its credibility and evaluating its bias
08.1.4.5.1
-- Students will initiate questions and hypotheses about historic events being studied

Why is the periodic chart in its present format and how can information about the elements be extracted from it?
How did our model of the atom develop historically?
What is the process for determining the number of subatomic particles in any atom or ion?
Are all atoms of the same element identical?
Are all atoms stable?
How do molecular compounds differ from ionic compounds?
How can particles of matter be represented and their mass be determined?
