Today was the 'Chemistry Unit Test' - congrats on finishing chemistry!
Please come see me if you where not here today :) The Elephant Toothpaste Lab was done to start the class and then we continued to work on our review. We also filled out this pre-test reflection.
The Chemistry Unit Test is on Monday! Please bring your completed review to class and hand it in because it will count as marks towards your test! Today, we started off with an attendance question. Next, we worked on our chemistry review and then finished up the element tour!
Please work on your review for homework and bring any questions you have to class tomorrow! To start, we took notes and did a white boarding activity on chemical changes, physical changes, homogenous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures. Next, we made a collaborative document of what is going to be on the chemistry review on Thursday.
Please review this document so you can come to class prepared to review! Review of naming ionic compounds was done as a class and then we started doing an element tour and answering questions at each station. Tomorrow we will continue the element tour and start our chemistry review!
Please hand in your naming ionic compounds worksheet tomorrow! An attendance question was done to start the class today and then we reviewed covalent compounds as a class. After, we learned how to name Ionic Compounds and read pages 245-246 in the textbook.
Please finish the 'Naming Ionic Compounds' worksheet for Monday! Today we learned how to name covalent compounds.
Please finish the worksheet below and lets go over these questions in class tomorrow! Lots of student work was handed back at the beginning of class and then Periodic Table Trends were reviewed as a class and the following notes were taken... The Chemical Bonding worksheet from last class was reviewed as a class after.
Calculating density was reviewed as a class with the notes below and the following density calculations and definitions were taken in for completion marks. Next, the students started a 'Chemical Bonding' worksheet that we will go over on Monday. While all of this work was going on, the class learned how to use Bunsen burners in pairs and performed the 'Imploding Pop Can' experiment - FUN!
Notes... -Density is a measurement of how much mass fits in a given volume. -Mass is a measurement of how much matter (p,n,e) there is in the object. -Volume is a measurement of how much 3D space the matter occupies. -Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume 𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦= 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠/𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 Please hand in the 'Density & Definitions' worksheet for completion marks! Today we started off with an attendance question and then talked about SPACE! We looked at this website, watched this video on plasma and talked about Jupiter. Moving onto Bohr models, we read pages 214-216 in the textbook and did the yellow 'Try This' on page 216. Then we read pages 218-222 and drew many 'Bohr Models' in the worksheet below. Please have your parents/guardians sign your progress report and hand it back on Friday! Also, we still need more students to bring pop cans in to do the experiment! Today we took notes on the Kinetic Molecular Theory and Atomic Molecular Theory. Then pages 209-211 in the textbook were silently read. A review Kahoot on matter happened and then the 'Imploding Pop Can' experiment was demonstrated. Lastly, we watched this video and went over the games on the PHET website on the 'Build an Atom Activity'. Notes.. Kinetic Molecular Theory -All matter is made up of tiny particles -Different substances have different particles -The particles are in constant motion -The more energy the particles have, the faster they move -There is empty space between the particles Atomic Molecular Theory -All matter is composed of small, fast moving particles called atoms. These atoms can join together to form molecules. This theory contains many other theories that explain chemistry, and nature, and everything?! Please bring a pop can to class tomorrow so you can practice lab skills and do the experiment yourself! I would also suggest doing the PHET games yourself if you were not comfortable with them today. Notes were taken on protons, neutrons, quarks, leptons and electrons. We watched an atom video and quarks video. We watched a chemical reaction take place. A self-assessment was then completed for the Element Inquiry Project. After, we looked at this website as a group and students were encouraged to make sure they are not missing any work in time for progress reports to come out next week/parent teacher interviews the following week. Notes... -Protons (positive charge) and neutrons (zero charge) are made of quarks are held together in the nucleus by a strong nuclear force. -Electrons (negative charge) are a type of lepton and are held at a distance from the nucleus through electromagnetism. Please come see me if you have not completed your self-assessment for your Element Inquiry Project yet! Today we started off with an attendance question, then listened to the periodic table song, then we did a 'Periodic table Scavenger Hunt' in groups and an outside element scavenger hunt in groups. After, we went to the library and worked on the 'Build an Atom' activity. Element Scavenger Hunt Rules... -photos must be taken outside -you must email your photos by the end of class and list the elements that are in your photos -extra points awarded if all three of your groups members are in the photos -extra points awarded if your photos are of pure elements Please hand in your 'Periodic table Scavenger Hunt' and 'Build an Atom' activity! Also, if you were not here this day, please email me 5 photos of elements around you. Today was a work block to finished up the Inquiry Project on Elements that was started yesterday.
Please hand in your Inquiry Project on Elements on Teams! The class read page 157-163 in the textbook then went down to the library computers to start their new Inquiry Project on Elements, which can be found on Teams (link to the right).
