About this file
This is a course scope document for Chemistry Honors (Course ID 31004) in Nevada, related to a textbook adoption contract opportunity for Chemistry and Honors Chemistry courses. The document outlines a one-year high school chemistry course designed to integrate science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas centered on three primary topics: Structure and Properties of Matter, Chemical Reactions, and Engineering Design. The course is designated as honors level through accelerated instructional pacing and increased content depth, with mandatory demonstrations and laboratory experiences employing proper safety techniques. The curriculum emphasizes diversity awareness, cultural appreciation, and appropriate technology integration. The course fulfills one science credit required for high school graduation, qualifies as a laboratory science for college entrance, and may count toward College and Career Ready Flex Credit requirements for the Standard Diploma.
The course encompasses eight primary learning goals aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, including analyzing periodic table patterns, conducting investigations on matter structure and properties, explaining nuclear processes, correlating material properties to molecular structure, applying mathematical representations to conservation of mass, modeling energy release and absorption in chemical processes, evaluating collision theory through experimental evidence, and designing chemical reaction systems. The document was originally approved in June 1978 and has been revised multiple times, with the most recent revision completed in April 2021. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract timeline details are provided in this scope document.

CHEMISTRY HONORS – 31004
Course Scope:
This one-year course is designed to integrate science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas related to chemistry. This course is designated as honors level by the accelerated instructional pacing and depth of content. The topics covered in Chemistry Honors include Structure and Properties of Matter, Chemical Reactions, and Engineering Design. Demonstrations and lab experiences that employ proper safety techniques are mandatory for this course. Instructional practices incorporate integration of diversity awareness including appreciation of all cultures and their important contributions to society. The appropriate use of technology is an integral part of this course. This course fulfills one of the science credits required for high school graduation and qualifies as a laboratory science for college entrance. This course may count towards the College and Career Ready Flex Credit requirements for the Standard Diploma.
Course Goals:
1. To use patterns in the periodic table as a tool to predict properties of matter and the outcome of chemical reactions. [HS-PS1-1, HS-PS1-2]
2. To plan and conduct investigations in order to gather evidence about the structure, properties, and interactions of matter to explain them in terms of attraction and repulsion between electric charges at the atomic scale. [HS-PS1-3, HS-PS2-4]
3. To construct explanations from evidence about how instability in an atom’s nucleus governs nuclear processes involving the release of radiation in the form of mass and/or energy. [HS-PS1-8]
4. To correlate how the properties and uses of designed materials relate to the molecular-level structure of a substance. [HS-PS1-3, HS-PS2-6]
5. To use mathematical representations to support the claim that mass is always conserved during a chemical reaction. [HS-PS1-7]
6. To develop and use models to illustrate how the release or absorption of energy in chemical processes depends upon the making and breaking of bonds. [HS-PS1-4, HS-PS1-5, HS-PS1-6]
7. To use experimental evidence of effects of various factors on rates of chemical reactions to evaluate the claims of collision theory. [HS-PS1-5, HS-PS1-7]
8. To design chemical reaction systems that govern the amount of products formed in chemical reactions.
[HS-PS1-5, HS-PS1-6, HS-PS1-7, HS-ETS1-1, HS-ETS1-2, HS-ETS1-3, HS-ETS1-4]
Approved Jun 1978, revised 1980, 1990, 1995, 2000, May 2008, November 2011, November 2014, revised April 2021.
