Students completed the notes on Solids, Liquids and Gases as they worked word problems dealing with Charles Law. We worked 3 practice problems and they completed the algebraic conversions from the base formula for Charles Law. The Charles Law WPWS (40 pts) was worked on in class and turned in. The Solids, Liquids, and Gases CWP (42 pts) was given for homework to prepare for the Solid, Liquid, and Gas Vocabulary Test and Chapter Test on Tomorrow.
Structure of the Atom
Students took the Structure of the Atom Voc. Test (50 pts) in class. Then, they began the same chapters Chapter Assessment (90 pts). They will have the Structure of the Atom Chapter Test on tomorrow.
Boyles Law
We discussed Boyles Law and how it affects gases. The effects of pressure on the volume of a gas were analyzed prior to working several practice problems. We then used Algebra to determine the other 3 formulas to validate Boyles Law. They were then given a "Boyles Law" Word Problem WS (40 pts). They also received a Bronze Grade (10 pts) for bringing their calculators. They were reminded of the Vocabulary and Chapter Test on the Solids, Liquids, and Gases on Friday.
Archimedes’ & Pascal’s Principle
Students were given a chance to discuss and go over the concepts of buoyancy and pressure in fluids. They also were given a chance to work Pressure word problems (3 types) and the Pressure Word Problem WS in class. They were assigned the Pressure WPWS (20 pts) for homework. They also were notified of the Voc. Test and Chapter Test on Friday before we leave. A bronze grade was given as a calculator check (10 pts) in class.
Radioactive Decay
Students went over the types of radioactive decay and how to differentiate in their types. Then, they were given a Radioactive Decay WS (50 pts). They were also assigned the "Structure of the Atom" Word Search (42 pts) for homework and to prepare for the Voc. Test on tomorrow. They will have the "Structure of Atom Chapter" Test on Thursday.
Structure of the Atom
Today we discussed and continued the PowerPoint on the Structure of the Atom using nuclear reactions, types of radioactive decay and Chemical reactions. Students were advised of the Vocabulary Test on Wednesday when they return. They were assigned the Nuclear Reactions WS (50 pt) for homework.
Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Students continued notes from the PowerPoint on Thermal Expansion, diffusion and buoyancy. Archimedes Principle was explained and evaluated. Then, we explained the concepts w/examples and advised students to have their calculators on Tuesday. They were advised of the Chapter Test on Solids, Liquids and Gases on Friday and the vocabulary test on the same information on Thursday before Thanksgiving.
Phase Changes
We continued taking notes on the states of matter and Changes in the Phases of Matter. We discussed the effects of energy on the states of matter.
Atomic Mass/Atomic Number/Mass #
Today we continued discussing the notes on PowerPoint on The Structure of the Atom. We differentiated between atomic mass, atomic number, mass number. We then completed worksheets on "Writing the Symbols for Isotopes"(50 pts) and Naming the Parts of the Atom (45 pts).
Structure of the Atom
We continued the discussion on the scientists and their contributions to the Atomic Theory. We reviewed, Democritus, Aristotle, John Dalton, J. J. Thomson, Earnest Rutherford, Robert Millikan, and James Chadwick. Atomic number, nucleus and mass number are discussed and compared. The structure of the nucleus is revealed.
