I Can Statements	Academic Vocabulary
I can use information about isotopes to perform half-life calculations.	Half-life Isotope

Cross Cutting Concepts
Patterns Mathematical representations are needed to identify some patterns. Scale, Proportion, and Quantity Algebraic thinking is used to examine scientific data and predict the effect of a change in one variable on another (e.g., linear growth vs. exponential growth).

Looking Back	Looking Ahead
This is the first introduction to these concepts.	The student is able to connect the half-life of a reaction to the rate constant of a first-order reaction and justify the use of this relation in terms of the reaction being a first-order reaction. (AP Chemistry LO 4.3)
