Students took notes on the concept of a MOLE, and completed a worksheet converting moles of a substance to particles of the same substance (30pts)

We completed the "Mole" Review Questions (60 pts) from the textbook and began the "Mole" Notes.

4-16-18 (Monday)
Students completed the notes on Chemical Reactions from the PowerPoint discussing reactions that produce gases and water. They were given the Chemical Reactions Word Search (42 pts). They were reminded of the Chemical Reactions Voc. Test tomorrow and Chapter Test on Wednesday. Labs were to be conducted on Thursday and Friday if the materials arrive.

4-17-18 (Tuesday)
Students took the Chemical Reactions Voc. Test (36 pts) and completed the Chapter Assessment (78 pt) for homework. 6th period completed their Balancing Equations 2 WS (30 pts) also.

Students went over the types of reactions on the Chemical Reactions PowerPoint.

Students were taught how to count atoms in compounds and compounds w/polyatomic ions as well as the rules for balancing equations. We began balancing equations for practice from the book.

Students today learned how to count atoms as well as the difference in subscripts and coefficients. We observed a podcast on counting atoms as well as completed a worksheet on Counting Atoms.

Students began taking notes from the Power point on Chemical Reactions. Students learned what a chemical reaction is, how it is represented and ways to prove it took place.

Students used the textbooks to answer questions from the Chapter on Chemical Reactions (60 pts).

4-3-18 (Tuesday)
Students conducted an "Observation" Lab using the scientific method. Milk, food coloring, vegetable oil, water, and dishwashing liquid were used to observe the action of polar and nonpolar molecules. They were to also answer questions from the Data sheet (60 pts).

4-4-18 (Wednesday)
Students conducted a "Density of Irregular Solids" Lab. After discussing the ways to calculate volume and instruments used, students measured the mass of nuts, bolts, and washers using the methods of displacement, graduates and triple beam balances. Finally, after determining masses and volumes, students determined the density of the metals items.

Students conducted a lab using balloons to represent the VSEPR theory on covalent bond and electrons. They completed the data sheet and were advised to dress correctly for labs on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
