Students continued taking notes on the Properties of Matter and the Physical Changes of Matter. The Law of Conservation of Matter was discussed also.

Students began discussing the stages of the kinetic theory and states of matter.

10/15/18 (Monday)
Students began taking notes on the Properties of Matter and how they change from the PPT and projector.

10/16/18 (Tuesday)
All 10th graders took the Pre-ACT and 11th graders were given an E-Day assignment from their textbook to turn in on Wednesday.

Students completed the Density lab w/the calculations and % Error. Then, they began and completed the Matter Review Questions (60 pts)

Students continued w/the measurements in the Density Lab (100 pts). We will finish the lab tomorrow.

Students were introduced and reviewed the objectives and procedures for the Density Lab. We then went into the lab practicing Lab Safety procedures and began measuring volume, mass, of a screw, washer and nut. The ability to calculate the volume of the objects by displacement and measure the mass using a triple beam balance were reviewed and displayed. We will calculate % error on the mass and write all answers using the correct number of significant digits.. All data was recorded on the data sheet and turned in at the conclusion of class. We will continue the lab tomorrow, so dress appropriately.

Students were allowed to complete the Matter; Properties & Change Vocabulary (76 pts) and begin the same chapters Review Questions (60 pts). They were also reminded to dress correctly for the Density Lab on tomorrow. Lastly, they were reminded to store the notes and material from the 1st 9 Weeks to help prepare for the 1st Semester Exam in December.

Students were instructed as to which problems they did not do well on the Chapter Assessment and Vocabulary Test. Then, they took the Data Analysis Chapter Test (100 pts). They were reminded of the lab on the Tuesday they return.

Students turned in their homework (Data Analysis Seek-n-Find, 45pts; Significant Figures +,-,x,/-45 pts) and took their Data Analysis Voc. Test (50 pts) and began the same chapters Chapter Assessment (60 pts). They will have the Data Analysis Chapter Test on tomorrow.

We competed the Data Analysis notes on types of graphs, then reviewed how to complete calculations involving the correct number of significant digits in Chemistry w/Algebra. They will have a Data Analysis Voc. Test on Wednesday and Chapter Test on Thursday.
