Chemistry — Nothing But Games
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.
Elements, Compounds and Mixtures
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.
Moving on to Chemistry
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 [...]
Ice Cream Lab
I hope you enjoyed making and eating your ice cream on Friday — I keep telling you science is fun!
Have you figured out how heat was used? Remember that heat is the movement of thermal energy.
Besides the changes in temperature what other observations did you make? Do you recall taking any notes that might relate [...]
Out Of Your Comfort Zone
Some of you are feeling really uncomfortable right about now; not sure what you should be doing with your lab, maybe a bit confused or frustrated. Believe it or not, those are good things. It means you care about doing this right, getting a good grade and maybe even learning something! It’s called taking you [...]
Mechanical Advantage
We are continuing our study of simple machines by creating an experiment which will allow us to explore mechanical advantage using an inclined plane. To review work and mechanical advantage follow this link, in addition you can use the links provided on the Home Study page under “Study Resources”.
Remember this lab is worth 100 points [...]
