Today, students were returned their "Periodic Table and Periodic Law" Chapter Test results. Then they began and completed the "Balloon" Lab used in the "Electrons" chapter on orbitals.  They were to type up the materials used, procedures and results in a lab report due on Thursday.

We began class going over the "Periodic Table & Periodic Law" Voc. Test and the Chapter Assessment Answers. Then, students took the Periodic Table and Periodic Law Chapter Test today.  They ended class working on the "Elements" Vocabulary.  The Balloon Lab covering "orbitals" will be tomorrow.

Chemistry students took the Periodic Table & Periodic Law Voc. Test (50 pts - Gold)today and began the Chapter Assessment (92 pts - Silver) from their textbook.  They turned in the Periodic Table & Periodic Law Seek-n-Find (42 pts - Silver) from Friday.  They will have the Periodic Table and Periodic Law Ch. Test tomorrow.

10th grade students took the ACT "Aspire" Test while the 11th and 12th graders completed the "Periodic Table & Periodic Law" Seek-n-Find in preparation for their Vocabulary Test on Monday.

We completed the notes today on the Periodic Table and the Periodic Law.  We discussed electronegativity and ionization energy of the elements in a period and group as well as the trends.  Students were given the Review Questions from the chapter to complete for homework.  All 10th graders will take the ACT Aspire Test tomorrow.

Students continued the notes on "Periodic Table and the Periodic Law" notes by covering Ionic Radius in groups/periods and ionization energy.  We reviewed the comparison between atomic and ionic size within groups and as we move from left to right on a period.

We finally completed the notes on the "Elements" chapter. Students show know the characteristics of the major groups and transition elements of the Periodic Table.  As well, they should be able to give you uses for given elements as well as where they are found. Students finished class with a crossword puzzle to check comprehension and spelling.  Then began the Sec. Rev. which will be finished on Tuesday.  Students will also have the "Elements" Vocabulary Test on Tuesday as they finish the Chapters Sec. Reviews.  The "Elements" Chapter Test will be on Wednesday.

Today, we reviewed the Periodic Law, blocks of the Periodic Table by orbitals, and began discussing the notes on Atomic Size and radii of atoms and ions of the same atoms.  There will be a Voc. Test on Periodic Table and Periodic Law on Thursday with a Chapter Test scheduled for Friday.

Yesterday, students were to complete the Matter; Properties & Change Vocabulary (76 pts).  We went over the answers to the "Data Analysis" Chapter Test (100 pts) and Ch. Assessment (95 pts).  Students were encouraged to focus more on the work to improve the Chapter Test scores.  Also, the items that were not correctly answered on the Ch. Assessment were reviewed.

Today, we will begin and complete the "Matter: Properties & Change" Review Questions (60 pts).  Students were advised to dress correctly for lab tomorrow.
