Quiz today! First we added notes on the back of page 18 in our notebooks on Ions and Isotopes. Next we took our quiz. We did a round about quiz. Students traveled around the room and answered the questions. Kind of an unusual way to take a quiz, but they did a GREAT job!!! Lastly, we took notes on page 22 in our on density. Here is the powerpoint for today.

We reviewed metals and non metals during our warm up today and then reviewed the groups on the periodic table from page 17 and 18 in our notebooks. Here is the powerpoint from today.
Quiz on THURSDAY will cover the following.
Reminder: Projects are due 10/12 - A day 10/13 - B Day Next, we did a quick lab about the Density of water and calculating the density of water. By doing the lab before the notes on density, students will be able to make inferences about density and calculating density. HW Pick 2 ELEMENTS from opposite sides of the periodic table. In paragraph form (2 paragraphs) …write as much information as possible about each element based on the periodic table. Include the following information for both elements: •Atomic number •Protons •Electrons •Neutrons •Atomic mass •Metal, non or metalloid •Period number •Group number •Reactivity-how reactive is it and what makes it act that way •Number of electron shells •Which other elements does your element have similarities with? Today we started the day with a review of Metals, nonmetals and metalloids by reviewing our conclusion from last class. Then, I assigned the the students project for 1st quarter. It is a choice project, they can pick one of the project to complete. The students were given a hard copy, but here is a digital copy of the directions. Projects are due Wednesday October 12th (A day) and Thursday October 13th (B Day). The goal for today is to introduce groups and periods on the periodic table. We took notes (page 17) on groups, periods, valence electrons, and reactivity. The students then used chrome books to watch four short videos on each of the groups on the periodic table. Here is the powerpoint for today's lesson. When using Discovery Education for this assignment, you do not need to be logged in to your rapid identity site.

Grades should be loaded on Powerschools by the end of the day.
Next, we used the COACH books to read a short passage on synthetic and natural elements. This assignment was completed on page 15 in our notebooks. We then reviewed the differences between metals, non metals and metalloids, We added notes to our vocabulary pyramids from last class. Here is the powerpoint on the metal notes. We finished the day with a lab. Students were able to touch some elements and make observations about the physical properties of the elements. Students then used what they know about the differences between metals and nonmetals to determine if the elements were metals or nonmetals. Today we reviewed the parts of the atom and drawing the atoms. Next, we did a round robin around the room using the Atomic Structure Task Cards as a review of atomic structures. There will be a quiz on Wednesday/Thursday on reading the periodic table and drawing atoms. Make sure you have your periodic table in class. Lastly, we read a passage on metals, non metals and metalloids. Students created vocabulary pyramids for each of the vocabulary words and colored in a blank periodic table according to metals, non metals and metalloids. Here is the reading passage from today. Homework tonight is to take 8 atoms from last nights grid and draw the 8 atoms. Our main goal today was learning how to draw atoms from the elements on the periodic table. Here is the Powerpoint from today if you missed class. We practiced drawing several atoms, and each students created a model for a specific element. We also practiced our chemistry skills using the song below. Well done singers!!!
Homework tonight is attached to the back of page 11, it is a chart titled, "Reading the Periodic Table". Here is a copy of the handout. Today we went over the scientific method in a couple of different ways. We reviewed it during warm up, we went over the homework and we practiced writing the parts of the scientific method using magazine advertisements. Students were expected to look at an ad, and design an experiment based on what the ad was trying to tell us. They needed to include the question they were trying to answer, the procedure, the independent variable, the dependent variable, control group, experimental group, and constants. We created posters of the "planned"experiment.
One last mini lab using the balances and also as an intro to the scientific method. We tried to identify how much sugar is found in bubble gum! We were surprised to see how high the % of sugar turned out to be in the gum. Next we took notes on page 8 in our notebooks on Scientific Method. If you were absent, here are the notes from today's powerpoint. Lastly, the students were given the Bart Simpson Handout to practice the Scientific Method. If you lost your copy...here is the handout you can print out.
We are organized our notebooks today> if you were absent, here is the order of the pages. •Tape the blue brochure on the back of page 1
•Tape your textbook scavenger hunt on the front of page 2 •All About Me A-Z…back of page 2 •Tape Mass notes to the front of page 3 •Tape Volume Notes on page 4 •Tape Color Challenge to the back of page 4 We took a short quiz on the differences between mas and volume. Quiz grades should be recorded by tomorrow.. Next we took notes on the differences between qualitative and quantitative observations and inferences on page 5 in our notebooks. Next we did a lab using crystals to practice making observations. Next class....scientific method. |
