Students took notes on the concept of speed. We discussed the variables of distance and time and how they relate to speed. Then, we solved 4 problems with the speed equation. We finished the class w/the Speed word problem worksheet w/the Motion Review Questions due tomorrow for homework.

We took notes on Speed and its calculations. Then we worked 3 practice problems finding, distance, time and speed after discussion the unit of speed.

We went over an old test on Chemical Reactions, then took the Chapter Test on Chemical Reactions.

Today, students completed the Chemical Reactions Crossword Puzzle, then the Chapter Review. We completed class with the Chemical Reactions Vocabulary Test. We will have the Chemical Reactions Test on Tomorrow. You must bring a pencil. We'll start the Physics portion of Physical Science tomorrow.

Students got to complete the 2nd in a series of Balancing Equations Worksheets. They were also responsible for finishing the Word Scramble. There will be a Ch. Review, and Vocabulary Test tomorrow on the Chemical Reactions Chapter. The Chapter Test on Chemical Reactions will be on Wednesday.

Today, we started the balancing of equations and continuing to name the types of equations. Students completed a "Identify and Balancing Equations" WS and continued balancing on "Types of Reactions" WS.

We started the class by reviewing the rules on balancing equations, then we went over some basic equations and did some balancing on the board.

Notes were taken from the powerpoint on Chemical Reactions and we began the basic parts of balancing chemical equations, by learning how to count atoms. We counted atoms in regular formulas and formulas w/coefficients and subscripts. The later classes also finished Aim 15 and had the Types of Reactions Poptest.

Students completed Aim 16 from the Chemistry Workshop Workbooks. Then we went over the answers and took a Chemical Reactions Poptest on at Types of Reactions WS.

Students answered the Aims 14-17 in the Chemistry Worksho 3 Workbook. They all talked about the Tyes of Chemical Reactions. Then we took the Chemical Reactions WS for a poptest
