A chemist draws two molecular models. One model is drawn for formaldehyde (CH2O) and one model is drawn for formic acid (CH2O2). The chemist forgets to write the chemical name above each model. The models are labeled as Model 1 and Model 2, as shown in the figure.
Select terms from the lists the complete the sentences.
Formic acid CH2O2 is represented by Model __________. This model has a different number of __________atoms than the other model.
Required
1
Describe the composition of the molecule


_______ atom(s) of carbon
_______ atom(s) of oxygen
_______ atoms(s) of hydrogen
PS 1-3 Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society. (focus is identifying natural materials that are used to produce the synthetic material for human use)
Required
1

The image shows two processes.



Which statement best compares the processes?

Required
1

Sodium Alginate (C6H7NaO6) is a chemical that is commonly used in ice cream, yogurt, and salad dressing.  Calcium Chloride (CaCl2)is a salt that helps to prevent ice from forming on roads in cold climates by lowering the freezing point of water.  

Read the table below and determine what these two chemicals have in common.



Instructional Segment #2: Matter Cycles and Energy Flows through Organisms and Rocks Students who demonstrate understanding can:

A group tests a hand warmer prototype, but it does not get warm enough. What should they do next in the design process?

ETS1-1Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.

ETS 1-2 Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
