South Bound Brook School District
Course: Science
Grade Level: Module J
Unit 3‐ Chemical Processes and Equations
Time Frame: MP 4
# Instructional Days: 17
Unit Rationale: Analyze properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a
chemical reaction takes place, use a model to show that the number of atoms does not change in a chemical
reaction and thus mass is conserved, and construct and test a device that either releases or absorbs thermal
energy by chemical processes.
Enduring Understandings
●
Explain how a chemical reaction forms new substances and how they
compare properties of various substances.
●
Identify chemical formulas as codes that represent each atom in a
single unit of substance.
Essential Questions
●
What and how do chemical reactions occur?
●
What are chemical equations and how are
they made?
●
What is thermal energy and chemical
processes?
