II. Course Description

This is an honors college preparatory science course dealing with the composition, structure,
and properties of substances and the changes they undergo. Since chemistry is a laboratory
science, emphasis will be placed on laboratory techniques and safety, and students will be
required to draw conclusions from lab experiments performed.
As a course in the AOJ program at Hanford West High School (HWHS), this course will
follow the primary goals of the program to produce qualified applicants for local law
enforcement and legal programs. A qualified applicant will be identified as a student who
possesses a number of skills in each of the following areas: Personal/Social, Academics, and
Professionalism. The curriculum provided by the HWHS AOJ program will have relevance,
be valid and have expert input in areas of criminal justice and law.
III.A Timeline
The timeline below is intended to be flexible to student needs and curriculum events.
Benchmarks for the course are to be similar to, and given at similar times, as the “non-AOJ” chemistry
1
courses. The course final is to be the same as “non-AOJ” chemistry courses. Assessments for AOJ components
are to be in addition to the traditional assessments for chemistry courses.

NUMBER SENSE
The following ten California mathematics academic content standards from the Number
Sense strand are assessed on the CAHSEE by 14 test questions.
GRADE 7 — NUMBER SENSE

Standard Set 1.0 Students know the properties of, and compute with, rational numbers
expressed in a variety of forms:
1.1 Read, write, and compare rational numbers in scientific notation (positive and
negative powers of 10) with approximate numbers using scientific notation.
1.2 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers (integers, fractions, and
terminating decimals) and take positive rational numbers to whole-number powers.
1.3 Convert fractions to decimals and percents and use these representations in
estimations, computations, and applications.
1.6 Calculate the percentage of increases and decreases of a quantity.
Standard Set 2.0 Students use exponents, powers, and roots, and use exponents in
working with fractions:
2.1 Understand negative whole-number exponents. Multiply and divide expressions

involving exponents with a common base.
2.3 Multiply, divide, and simplify rational numbers by using exponent rules.
2.5 Understand the meaning of the absolute value of a number; interpret the absolute
value as the distance of the number from zero on a number line; and determine the
absolute value of real numbers.
158

Page 2 of 6
ALGEBRA and FUNCTIONS
The following ten California mathematics academic content standards from the Algebra
and Functions strand are assessed on the CAHSEE by 17 questions.
GRADE 7 — ALGEBRA and FUNCTIONS
Standard Set 1.0 Students express quantitative relations by using algebraic terminology,
expressions, equations, inequalities, and graphs:
1.1 Use variables and appropriate operations to write an expression, an equation, an

inequality, or a system of equations or inequalities that represents a verbal description
(e.g., three less than a number, half as large as area A).
1.5 Represent quantitative relationships graphically and interpret the meaning of a

specific part of a graph in the situation represented by the graph.
Standard Set 2.0 Students interpret and evaluate expressions involving integer powers
and simple roots:
2.1 Interpret positive whole-numbers as repeated multiplication and negative whole-

numbers as repeated division or multiplication by the multiplicative inverse. Simplify
and evaluate expressions that include exponents.
Standard Set 3.0 Students graph and interpret linear and some nonlinear functions:
3.3 Graph linear functions, noting that the vertical change (change in y-value) per unit of
horizontal change (change in x-value) is always the same and know that the ration (“rise
over run”) is called the slope of a graph.
3.4 Plot the values of quantities whose rations are always the same (e.g., cost to the
number of an item, feet to inches, circumference to diameter of a circle). Fit a line to the
plot and understand that the slope of the line equals the quantities.
Standard Set 4.0 Students solve simple linear equations and inequalities over the rational
numbers:
159
4.2 Solve multistep problems involving rate, average speed, distance, and time or a
direction variation.

MEASUREMENT AND GEOMETRY

The fo llowing ten California mathematics academic content standards from the
Measurement and Geometry strand are assessed on the CAHSEE by 17 test questions.
GRADE 7 — MEASUREMENT AND GEOMETRY

Standard Set 1.0 Students choose appropriate units of measure and use ratios to convert
within and between measurement systems to solve problems:
1.1 Compare weights, capacities, geometric measures, times, and temperatures within and
between measurement systems (e.g., miles per hour and feet per second, cubic inches to
cubi centimeters).
1.2 Construct and read drawings and models made to scale.
1.3 Use measures expressed as rates (e.g., speed, density) and measures expressed as
products (e.g., person-days) to solve problems; check the units of the solutions; and use
dimensional analysis to check the reasonableness of the answer.
Standard Set 2.0 Students compute the perimeter, area, and volume of common geometric
objects and use the results to find measures of less common objects. They know how
perimeter, area and volume are affected by changes of scale:
2.3 Compute the length of the perimeter, the surface area of the faces, and the volume of
a three-dimensional object built from rectangular solids. Understand that when the
lengths of all dimensions are multiplied by a scale factor, the surface area is multiplied by
the square of the scale factor and volume is multiplied by the cube of the scale factor.
2.4 Relate the changes in measurement with a change of scale to the units used (e.g.,
square inches, cubic feet) and to conversions between units (1 square foot = 144 square
inches or [1 ft2] = [144 in2], 1 cubic inch is approximately 16.38 cubic centimeters or [1
in3] = [16.38 cm3]

STATISTICS, DATA ANALYSIS, AND PROBABILITY
The following seven California mathematics academic content standards from the
Statistics, Data Analysis and Probability strand are assessed on the CAHSEE by 12 test

these to make predictions about events:
