So would you like to play a few games?
Do you know your elements? Try this game — matching 40 different elements to their symbols.
Let’s try one a little harder — common chemical names.
One last game — this one on atomic structure.
Progress reports for all classes were sent home with students today. These grades were as of the end of last week however I have since added a number of new assignments. So for many of you your progress reports do not reflect your current grade.
On Monday I will give each of you a new grade strip showing all assignments and grades.
Wow, a lot of notes and information in class. Just in case you missed some of it here is the Power Point presentation on mixtures, elements and compounds.
Use this link to play a game and test your understanding.
Today you received the first progress report for this marking period, be sure to get them signed and returned by Monday to receive credit.
You have a lot of work to complete this week so stay on top of it.
Wednesday — Science In The News is due
Thursday — Hershey Kiss Lab due (period 1 has until Friday)
Friday — Test on global climate change
Next week Wednesday — Poster project is due (see Home Study page for more details on the project)
You’ve spent a couple of weeks studying global climate change and some pretty high-level science, including the IPCC report I showed in class. You should have some good notes from class including the drawings and table of greenhouse gases. In addition last Friday we did a summary and I provided you with a long list of web resources.
Be sure you are studying for your test on Friday and complete your poster project due 4/11.
Now we have begun our study of chemistry. A little introduction last week with a video and a fun Hershey Kiss lab today. Remember the lab write-up is due Thursday. Tomorrow we’ll take a closer look at atoms and the periodic table.
Grade reports will be sent home with you tomorrow.
