1. explain how the concept of atomic number led to the synthesis of new elements in
the laboratory.
S11/12PS-IIIb-11
2.explain how the structures of biological macromolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids,
nucleic
acid, and proteins determine their properties and functions. S11/12PS-IIIe-22
3. determine the limiting reactant in a reaction and calculate the amount of product

4th Quarter
2. Use algebra, Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion, and Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
to show that, in the absence of air resistance, objects close to the surface of the Earth
fall with identical accelerations independent of their mass. S11/12PS-IVd-52
3. Explain how the photon concept and the fact that the energy of a photon is directly
proportional to its frequency can be used to explain why red light is used in
photographic dark rooms, why we get easily sunburned in ultraviolet light but not in
visible light, and how we see colors. S11/12PS-IVf-61
