=Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results= D3 Matter and Energy Grades 9-Diploma Students describe the structure, behavior, and interactions of matter at the atomic level and the relationship between matter and energy. ||
 * **Establish Goals (MLR):** **(G)** ||
 * Maine Learning Results: Science and Technology - D. The Physical Setting

//What understandings are desired?//
• there are different kinds of interactions that take place on an atomic level. • energy is important for our existence. ||
 * **//Students will understand that://** **(U)** ||
 * • matter is the building blocks in which the universe was created.

//What essential questions will be considered?//
• How are the interactions that take place on an atomic level different? • Why is energy so important? ||
 * **Essential Questions:** **(Q)** ||
 * • How does matter exist as building blocks for the universe?

//What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit?//
• Key Factual Information: properties of matter, periodic table of elements. • Formulas: free energy laws, chemical formulas, balancing equations, kinetic and potential energy. || • model the structure of atoms, by way of neutrons, protons and electrons. • illustrate how atomic structure plays a role in distinguishing chemical properties. • test how light is emitted based on how atoms change. • analyze how the number and arrangement of atoms in a molecule determine molecular properties. • consider how the roles of carbon and water in life processes is essential. • recognize examples of kinetic and potential energy in the real world. ||
 * **//Students will know://** **(K)** || **//Students will be able to://** **(S)** ||
 * • Terminology: matter, energy, atoms, motion, neutrons, protons, electrons, particles, elements.
