HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! No School Wednesday Have a nice day off and be safe. Warm up - For our warm up today we read an article on chemical reactions in fireflies and jellyfish. Click here to read the article: Bioluminescence: a chemical reaction that lights up fireflies and jellyfish As a group, we sorted through a list of physical and chemical changes and put them in a T chart in our notebooks on page 22. Finally, we started a little research on compounds. We used a blendspace to find all of the websites and article for this assignment. The assignment can be found on this handout. Here is the link to the Blendspace. Next we took notes on Compounds on page 24 in our notebooks. If you were absent, here are the notes. Lastly, if we have time, we will start building some compounds using gum drops and toothpicks. As a group you will create a google slide presentation that you will share with me. In addition to the presentation, you will have a handout that has the compounds drawn out. This will be the last blog for 1st quarter...we are moving on to 2nd quarter.
We finished up our notes on physical and chemical changes. If you were out today, here are the notes for page 21. Finally, we conducted a lab utilizing physical and chemical properties and physical and chemical changes. Students identified some physical properties of 7 chemicals and then saw how the chemicals reacted, looking for the signs of a chemical reaction. The conclusion for lab today will be submitted through canvas. Please see the assignment on Canvas. It is due TUESDAY by midnight (1st grade of the 2nd quarter)
Finally we introduced physical and chemical properties and changes and added notes to page 21 in our notebooks.
Next, we completed the lab on finding the density of 3 liquids. Once students completed the density of the 3 liquids, they predicted how the liquids would layer if they were mixed together. Here are the conclusion questions from the lab. Here are the conclusion questions for today's lab: If you put all of the liquids in a container, color a picture of how they would be layered. On your illustration write the average density for each liquid. Answer in paragraph form: •What did you learn from this lab? What can you tell me about density of a substance as the volume gets bigger? How do you calculate density? •If water has a density of 1.0g/mL , which liquids will float in water? sink in water? •What could have been some errors you made in the lab? •If we put water in the graduated cylinder you just drew, where would it go?Next, we started our notes on page 21 on physical and chemical changes and notes on the back of page 21 about chemical reactions. You can find the powerpoint here. Warm up - Our warm up is a review on calculating density. It is a chart that mimics the Density of Water Lab chart. We took notes on page 19 in our notebooks on density. Here re the notes that go page 19 if you were absent. , After the notes, we took our quiz on Schoolnet, This is a formal quiz and the grades should be updated in powerschools immediately, After the quiz, you were given Density handout to work on until everyone was done. If this handout is not completed, you will need to complete it for homework. Once everyone finished the quiz, we started a lab on calculating the density of 3 liquids (alcohol, vinegar and glycerine). The lab is very similar to the lab we did two classes ago on the density of water. Today we reviewed the groups on the periodic table during our warm up. We then moved around the room and did a quick review for our quiz on Thursday/Friday. Our quiz will cover the groups of the periodic table and metals, nonmetals and metalloids.
Next, we did a quick reading assignment on the 4 new elements they found!!! Apparently, naming the elements took awhile. The article can be found on www.newsela.com. Elements - (This assignment is on Canvas) PROJECTS ARE DUE WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 24th and THURSDAY OCTOBER 25th. Our warm up today was a review of the groups and periodic on the periodic table. We then reviewed our notes on the back of page 16 and the front of page 17. You need to know both the group name and number. Next, we added notes on transition metals on the back of page 17 in our notebook. Here are those notes, if you were absent. On page 17 in our notebook we colored a blank periodic table according to the names of the groups. Her is a picture of the periodic table that was the end product. This is attached to the front of 16, not 17!! Next we added notes on Transition metals to the back of 17...if you were not here, here are the notes you missed. Next, we introduced the concept of density by completing a lab on the density of water (page 18). This lab allowed us to practice mass and volume as well as calculating density. By doing the lab before the notes on density, students will be able to make inferences about density and calculating density. Following the lab we took notes on page 19 in our notebook on density. Here is the powerpoint. Today we started the day with a review of the characteristics of Metals, nonmetals and metalloids. We then spent a few minutes completing the lab and also completing the conclusion to the lab on page 15.
The goal for today is to introduce groups and periods on the periodic table. We took notes (page 16) on groups, periods, valence electrons, and reactivity. The students then used chrome books to watch four short videos on each of the groups on the periodic table. Here is the powerpoint for today's lesson. When using Discovery Education for this assignment, you do not need to be logged in to your rapid identity site. Just click on the link and type in your name.
https://assignments.discoveryeducation.com/?cdPasscode=TE79E-44C0 Watch the 4 videos listed. Fill in the chart as you listen to the videos. For the 1st video watch the whole video. In the remaining 3 videos, you may stop the videos at 4 minutes, it is a repetition from the first video. IF YOU FINISH THE DISCOVERY ED ASSIGNMENT -click on the link for the Crash Course: Periodic Table video about Mendeleev and the history of the periodic table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RRVV4Diomg When you are finished, click on the following link to take the quiz. https://docs.google.com/a/cms.k12.nc.us/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfLNCroce3HlwL9v178ZpH8KMuuduO5jhVUQuil5wo6tH31xA/viewform On page 17 in our notebook we colored a blank periodic table according to the names of the groups. Here is a picture of the periodic table that was the end product. Our warm up today was a review of atoms (protons, neutrons and electrons) and drawing atoms. QUIZ today on Atoms and the periodic table(formal). Next we went over the Atomic structure task cards from last class. Students graded their own own and then we had time to answer questions. Grades should be loaded on Powerschools by the end of the day.
We then reviewed the differences between metals, non metals and metalloids, We added notes to our vocabulary pyramids from last class. Here is the powerpoint on the metal notes.
We finished the day with a lab. Students were able to touch some elements and make observations about the physical properties of the elements. Students then used what they know about the differences between metals and nonmetals to determine if the elements were metals or nonmetals. |
