Events in the classroom of Coach Grayson, MMS Football, and MMS Basketball
11-13-17 (Monday)
We covered the scientists who discovered the neutron, atomic number, atomic mass and how to find mass number. Via the PowerPoint we determined the atomic theory and how it describes the atom today. Isotopes and how to exemplify isotopes.
11-14-17 (Tuesday)
We completed two worksheets on Determining the Parts of an Atom (45 pts) in class, and the Symbols for Isotopes (50pts). Then finished the Powerpoint on The Structure of the Atom.
11-13-17 (Monday)
Students completed taking notes and discussing the notes from Classification of Matter on the PowerPoint. We discussed ways to classify types of mixtures, the Tyndall effect and how you can identify mixtures. We also examined the law of conservation of matter. They were informed of the Classification of Matter Voc Test and Chapter Test on Wednesday.
11-14-17 (Tuesday)
Students completed the Properties of Matter Seek-n-Find 28 pts) in class and began the Chapter Review (76 pts) in class; to be completed for homework. They will have the Classification of Matter Voc Test and Chapter Test on tomorrow.
11/6/17 (Monday)
Students completed the "Structure of Matter" Vocabulary (78 pts) in class.
11/7/17
Students completed the "Atoms & Building Blocks" Review Questions in class.
11/6/17 (Monday)
Students completed the Penny Drop and/or Toilet Tissue Lab which emphasized the use of the "Scientific Method" in application. They then completed the data analysis and conclusion from the Lab Directions.
11/7/17 (Tuesday)
Students worked on the "Matter & Temperature" Review Questions (60 pts) using the textbook in preparation for the Classification of Matter concepts.
Students took the Matter Properties & Change Voc. Test (50 pts) in class, then began the Matter Properties & Change Ch. Assessment (82 pts). They will have the Ch. Test on tomorrow.
Students took the Scientific Method and Measurements Test (100 pts) in class when the bell rang. Then they began and completed the Classification of Matter Vocabulary (38 pts) for homework. We will have two labs tomorrow in class, so come dressed correctly.
Students reviewed the formula for mass percent of a compound. Then we worked 3 practice problems on the board before working on the Mass Percent WPWS. They were assigned the Mass % WS for homework.
Students were allowed to go over the answers to the "Simpsons" WS after they turned in their homework. Then, we took the Scientific Method Quiz (50 pts). They then began the Scientific Method, Measurements and Conversions Ch. Rev. (82 pts). They will have a Ch. Test on the Scientific Method, Conversions and Measurements (100 pts) tomorrow. A lab will follow on Friday.
Students took notes from the PowerPoint on Compounds, Elements and differences in Pure Substances and Mixtures. We began to explain the Law of Definite Proportions and how to calculate the percent by mass of the elements in a compound.
We reviewed the "Scientific Method in Action" WS (20 pts) and the 6.6-1 WS (28 pts) and then the students completed the "Simpson" WS in class (44 pts). They will have a Scientific Method Quiz (50 pts) tomorrow and take the Scientific Method Ch. Rev. (85 pts). They will also have the Sci. Method and Measurements Test (100 pts) on Thursday.
