Maryland State Department of Education High School Science Core Learning Goals (see www.mdk12.org)

Goal/Expectation Indicator/Assessment Limit

Goal 1 The student will demonstrate ways of thinking and acting inherent in the practice of science. The student will use the language and instruments of science to collect, organize, interpret, calculate, and communicate information.

1.3 The student will carry out scientific investigations effectively and employ the instruments, systems of measurement, and materials of science appropriately.

1.4 The student will demonstrate that data analysis is a vital aspect of the process of scientific inquiry and communication.

1.4.2 - The student will analyze data to make predictions, decisions, or draw conclusions.

1.4.6 - The student will describe trends revealed by data.

1.4.8 - The student will use models and computer simulations to extend his/her understanding of scientific concepts.

1.4.9 - The student will use analyzed data to confirm, modify, or reject a hypothesis.

1.7 The student will show that connections exist both within the various fields of science and among science and other disciplines including mathematics, social studies, language arts, fine arts, and technology.

Goal 4 The student will demonstrate the ability to use scientific skills and processes (Core Learning Goal 1) to explain composition and interactions of matter in the world in which we live.

4.2 The student will explain that all matter has structure and the structure serves as the basis for the properties of and the changes in matter.

Technology Needed In Unit Modules:

NMR FID software, and Internet access are needed.

Technology-Enhanced Instructional Strategies Employed:

NMR FID Simulation Software is used to enhance students understanding of the effect of different parameters on NMR spectra.
