Self-Evaluation Check Lists - AICE MARINE

I can:

use the kinetic particle theory to explain the

changes of state in water, between solid, liquid

and gas

• Needs more work

• Almost there

• Ready to move on

I can:

describe how the structure of atoms leads to the

formation of different bonds such as covalent,

ionic and hydrogen bonds

• Needs more work

• Almost there

• Ready to move on

I can:

explain how hydrogen bonding provides special

properties to water

• Needs more work

• Almost there

• Ready to move on

I can:

explain and compare the terms solute, solvent,

solution and solubility in order to apply these

terms to the dissolution of salt in the ocean

• Needs more work

• Almost there

I can:

explain the impacts of temperature and salinity

on the solubility of salts and gases in seawater.

• Needs more work

• Almost there

• Ready to move on

I can:

explain how run-off, precipitation and

evaporation impact the salinity of seawater

• Needs more work

• Almost there

• Ready to move on

I can:

describe the pH scale and know three techniques

used to measure pH in water

• Needs more work

• Almost there

• Ready to move on

I can:

explain the effects on the density of seawater

caused by water temperature, pressure and

salinity

• Needs more work

• Almost there

• Ready to move on

I can:

state that the reason ice can float is because the

density of ice is lower than seawater and discuss

the importance of that to marine organisms.

• Needs more work

• Almost there

• Ready to move on

I can:

describe how temperature and salinity gradients

form in water columns to produce ocean layers

and how subsequent mixing of these layers

may occur
