Go to schoolnet and pull up your test. Click on the numbers of the questions you got wrong. On a separate sheet of notebook paper you will need to do the following:
1. Copy the question, yes copy the question. 2. Write the correct answer, not just the letter. 3. EXPLAIN why this is the right answer. Here is an example: 1. Which describes a physical change? D. Squeezing the juice from the fruit Explain: This is a physical change because you are going from solid to liquid. It is also the same substance, we have not made a new substance. You can earn one point back for every question you correct. For example. If you got a 60% you missed 20 questions. Yikes 20 questions!!! If you make the corrections on every question, you can earn 20 points back on your test. So that could possible mean you go from a 60% to an 80%! Not bad!! If you do not do it like I said, no points!! Take your time and do the corrections right. If you do not have a computer and need to come in to do your test corrections, I will see you outside the school on Friday at 8:00am DUE FRIDAY by 4:15pm!!! No Exceptions!!

Warm up - Open up this link to an article about chemical and physical changes. Fill in the blanks on the half handout in front of you as you are reading. On page 31 in your notebook, we took a few notes on the Law of Conservation of Mass. If you were absent, here are the notes from that powerpoint. We also completed a lab with the anticipation of proving the Law of Conservation of Mass. Some of our results were a little sketchy but we were able to explain our results. Finally we started working on balancing equations. This concept comes very easily to some students and can be very challenging to others. You will get it with practice. Here is the powerpoint for balancing equations. Have a great Halloween and a nice day off!! Be safe!!! Please complete this survey for Ms. Sanders after the test
Warm up - Our warm up today was a poem on Elements, compounds and mixtures. Students answered question in their warm up folders as a last review for the test. Our notebook check today will be one of the last grades formal grades of the quarter. The notebook check covered all of the assignment for Chemistry. We are not totally done with Chemistry, but almost there....
Our test today is on school net. If you are unhappy with your grade, please check back on this website Wednesday afternoon for what you can do to improve your test grade. There will be no time for retakes, so this will be the only way we could possibly do it. I repeat...Check back on my website WEDNESDAY... I will not be mentioning it in class. After the test students completed a review of exothermic and endothermic reactions on page 30 in their notebooks. Here is the assignment and here is the link to the blendspace. You will need ear buds to complete the assignment. If you did not finish it in class, please finish for homework. Something is wrong with the link on blendspace for the life warming jacket. Here is the link. Warm Up - Next we went over the task cards form last class. Here are the answers to the questions, make any corrections you need to. Make sure you look at the questions you got wrong and see why you missed them. Reminder!!! Test is next class and so is the notebook check!! Please complete your cover sheet with the following pieces of information. 10 vocabulary words 3 illustrations create a border of facts from the unit We took a few notes on endothermic and exothermic reactions today on page 29 in our notebooks (FYI this will not be on the test!!) Here are the notes from today. We did a really quick lab showing the differences between endothermic and exothermic reactions.
Lastly, we used Kahoot to review for our test. Test Next week. B day your test will Tuesday October 25th and A day your test will be Wednesday October 26th. This will be your unit test and it will cover everything from chemistry so far.
Our warm up today was a song on elements, compounds and mixtures. Students highlighted the information in the song that we have covered in class. Next we continued our around the room activity of identifying elements, compounds, mixtures. Remember only mixtures can be homogeneous and heterogeneous. We will also have a notebook check on our test day. Make sure your table of contents is up to date and all your pages are complete. The red items are the only items you can be excused from if you were absent.

Element/Molecule Models…26 19. Mixtures…27 20. Hotel Horror...28 WARM UP For warm up today, please click following website and read the article, Hotel Horror, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning blamed for deaths in Best Western. Watch the video on that site as well. Then please watch the following video. 1. Why do you consider this article “scientific”? 2. Which branch of science would you consider this article? 3. What was the article about? (1 paragraph) 4. What was your reaction when you read this article? Explain. Next, we spent time finishing up our compound models from last class and finishing the google slides presentation. The handout needs to be completed and turned in next class, front and back. Here is a copy of the handout if you have misplaced yours. Finally, we took notes on mixtures on the back of page 25. As a review of elements, compounds and mixtures, we went around the room looking at 30 samples. Students had to identify if the sample was an element, compound or mixture. Upcoming dates: End of the unit test and notebook check will be NEXT Tuesday and Wednesday. The notebook check will be on all the pages on chemistry and the unit test will cover everything we have covered in chemistry up to this point. Take a look at this inforgraph on the chemsitry of fireworks.
http://www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Firework-Colours-2015.png Projects are due today! Our warm up was a review of physical and checmial changes today, remember to always look for the evidence when deciding if it is chemical changes.
Next we took a few minutes to look at some of the other projects in the classroom. We did a peer edit of the project and then did a self evaluation. I will post some photos as soon as possible of some of the projects. Next, we added notes on page 25 in our notebook. If you were absent, here are the notes from today's powerpoint. We created and colored models of different compounds using gum drops and toothpicks. Students had 5 different colored gum drops that represented 5 different elements. Students created bonds between the elements using the toothpicks. As a group, students created a google slide presentation to document pictures of their compounds as well as draw the compounds on their own papers. Lastly, students read the following passage on mixtures. The questions at the end of the reading passage should go on page 27 in your notebook.
Our warm up today covered chemical reactions and signs of a chemical reaction. Students also worked in groups to identify if a list of reactions were either physical changes or chemical changes. Next we finished up the lab from last class by completing the conclusion. Conclusion questions. Answer in paragraph form. •Choose four signs of a chemical reaction. •Describe “real life” chemical reactions where you have seen each of the signs of a chemical reaction. •Explain the difference between a chemical and physical change, including an example. Next we took a quick quiz on density. Grades should be in Powerschool by this afternoon. Introducing compounds was on today's agenda. Students used the following Blendspace to go through several resources on compounds. Here is the assignment you will complete on page 24 in your notebooks. https://www.tes.com/lessons/NopX_dSFLRh15g/compounds
We then added Cornell notes on the front of page 25 going over some specifics on compounds. Here are the notes from the powerpoint.
Lastly, we practiced making compound models using blocks with different colors. The handout is titled "Building Blocks of Matter". |
