[PS1] Matter and Its Interaction
SCI-HS.PS1.07 Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.
Clarification Statement: Physical Science: Emphasis is on using mathematical ideas as they relate to balancing reactions to
communicate the proportional relationships between masses of atoms in the reactants and the
products. Emphasis is on assessing students’ use of mathematical thinking and not on memorization.
Chemistry: Emphasis is on using mathematical ideas as they relate to balancing reactions and
stoichiometry to communicate the proportional relationships between masses of atoms in the
reactants and the products. Emphasis is on assessing students’ use of mathematical thinking and not
on memorization. Disciplinary Core Ideas PS1.B: Chemical Reactions
The fact that atoms are conserved, together with
knowledge of the chemical properties of the
elements involved, can be used to describe and
predict chemical reactions
