Students completed the Energy Review Questions (60 pts) in class using the textbook. They were advised to have a calculator every day and focus the last 2 months of school.
Covalent Compounds
Students took the Covalent Compounds Voc. Test (48 pts) and Covalent Chapter Test (100 pt) in class.
Forces
Students took their Forces Chapter Test (100 pt) and completed the Energy Voc (20 pts) in class.
Covalent Compounds
We concluded the Covalent Compound notes from the PowerPoint and were assigned the Writing Chemical Formulas Combined (50 pts) and Naming Chemical Formulas Combined (50 pt) for homework/classwork. They will have the Covalent Compounds Voc Test and Chapter Test on Friday.
Forces
Students took the Forces Vocabulary Test (34 pts) after completing the Forces & Motion Crossword Puzzle (40 pts). They were to complete the Weight, Momentum, and Newton's 2nd Law of Motion Word Problem WS (30 pt) for homework in preparation for their Chapter Test on tomorrow.
Covalent Bonding
Students continued taking notes on "Covalent Bonding". Topics covered were, exceptions to the stable octet rule and reasons, VSEPR and the theory behind it. They were reminded of the Vocabulary Test to be on Thursday and Chapter Test on Friday.
Forces
Students continued notes on "Forces" from the PowerPoint. We discussed the types of friction, gravity, and the Law of Universal Gravitation. They also received a Bronze grade for the Calculators in class. They were reminded to bring their calculators every day and of the impending Voc. Test on Thursday and Chapter Test on Friday.
Covalent Compounds
Students continued notes from the PowerPoint on learning how to name acids, oxyacids and how to write formulas for both. Class ended with worksheets on Naming Acids (50 pts) and Writing Acid Formulas (50 pts)
Motion Lab
Students went outside and after measuring 10 yd, 20 yd, and 40 yds, walked & ran each distance to calculate their speeds walking and running. Then, we walked 20yds and without stopping ran 20 more yds to determine their acceleration. We then went back to the classroom to perform our calculations. We were to complete the calculations for our Speed Lab (100 pts) for homework and turn in Monday.
Covalent Bond
Students continued notes on properties of covalent bonds and the difference in sigma and pi bonds. We also covered the nomenclature of covalent bonds and how to write covalent formulas. They watched a podcast on the rules of covalent nomenclature and then completed a "Naming Covalent Compounds" WS (50 pts) and "Writing Covalent Formulas" WS (50 pts) for homework. Covalent Bonds length, strength and dissociation energy were concepts covered also.
