We continued and finished talking about molecular geometry and covalent compound shapes. Solubility, types of covalent bonds, and network covalent solids. Students were given their Crossword Puzzles to complete for their vocabulary tests and the Chapter Assessment to complete for the Chapter test tomorrow.
Forces
We continued and finished the notes from the PPT on Newton's 1st law of motion, balanced/unbalanced forces, forces and centripetal force. Inertia and Law of Inertia were briefly discussed. Students received the Motion Seek-n-Find (40 pts) and were reminded to turn in the E-Day assignment by Thursday. They will have the Motion Voc. Test and Chapter Test on Tomorrow.
VSEPR
Students took notes on molecular geometry and how VSEPR determines physical and chemical properties of covalent compounds.
Physics/Motion
Students took notes from the PowerPoint on speed, average speed, and velocity. They were taught the units and how to calculate speed, distance, or time using the variables. Students were then given the Speed Word Problem WS (20 pts) for homework. They also received a grade for having their calculators in class after being reminded to bring them.
Structural Formulas
Students took notes from the PPT on how to draw and determine molecular and structural formulas for covalent compounds. We briefly went over the beginning statutes of the VSEPR theory.
Chemical Reactions / Motion
Students took the Chemical Reactions Chapter Test (100 pts) and began the Motion Review Questions (60 pts) immediately afterwards. They were given the Motion Voc. (28 pt) for homework. They were reminded to have a calculator for class on tomorrow.
Covalent/Ionic Nomenclature
Students answered the worksheets, Naming Ionic/Covalent/Acids WS (50 pts). They also completed the Writing Ionic/Covalent/Acid Compounds WS (50 pts). AFterwards, we began the Covalent Compound notes on Molecular & Structural Formulas.
Chemical Reaction
The students took the Chemical Reactions Voc. Test (34 pts) today, and completed the Chemical Reactions Chapter Review in class. Those who did not finish had the Balancing Equations WS (30 pts) due 4th period. They will have the Chemical Reactions Chapter Test tomorrow.
Acid Nomenclature & Formulas
Students took notes on how to name acids and write formulas containing acids. Then, they worked on "Naming Acids" WS (50 pts) and Writing Acid formulas (50 pts) WS.
Energy Change, Balancing Equations
Students took the final notes from the PPT as we discussed the forms of energy changes in a chemical reaction. We also compared inhibitors w/catalysts. Students then completed the Balancing and Identifying Chemical Reactions WS (48 pts) and Types of Reactions (30 pts). They received the Word Scramble (32 pts) and Crossword Puzzle (30 pts) for homework. They will the Chemical Reactions Voc Test tomorrow and Chapter Test on Wednesday.
