About this file
This is a course scope document for Chemistry 3100, a high school chemistry course offered in Nevada. The course is designed as a one-year program integrating science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas related to chemistry, with primary topics including Structure and Properties of Matter, Chemical Reactions, and Engineering Design. The course requires mandatory demonstrations and lab experiences employing proper safety techniques, incorporates diversity awareness and cultural contributions into instructional practices, and integrates appropriate technology throughout. The course fulfills one of the science credits 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 establishes eight primary goals aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, focusing on using periodic table patterns to predict properties and reactions, conducting investigations into matter structure and properties, constructing explanations about nuclear stability and radiation, correlating material properties to molecular-level structure, applying mathematical representations to mass conservation, developing models of energy release and absorption in chemical processes, evaluating collision theory through experimental evidence, and designing chemical reaction systems to govern product formation. The document indicates the course scope was originally approved in June 1978 and has been revised multiple times, most recently in April 2021, with a course identification number CID-SCI-SG-3100 and SCED code 03101. This scope document directly supports the related contract opportunity for Chemistry and Honors Chemistry Textbook Adoption in Nevada.

CHEMISTRY – 3100
Course Scope:
This one-year course is designed to integrate science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas related to chemistry. The topics covered in Chemistry 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.
