Monday 10/19

Journal:

Write about something you've learned in any class this year so far.

Today we turned in your Mass, Volume, Density worksheet, late/hall passes from term 1, and the Liquid Volume lab from last Tuesday. Please get those turned in right away (last day for term 1 is tomorrow) if you weren't here today.

Then we went on a "density field trip" around the school.

HW:  none, but the deadline to commit to our school's science fair is November 6th. We will start work on science fair this week, but keep in mind you will need to be making a decision about that soon.

Tuesday 10/13

Journal:

  1. What is the formula for density? How can you remember it?
  2. If a metal cube has a mass of 10g and it is 2cm high by 2cm long by 2cm wide, what is its density?
  3. What is mass? volume? density?

Today we did a lab practicing measuring volume in preparation to measure density. Here is the writeup page, but you will need to see me to make up the actual lab.

HW:  none, but I will collect mass, density, and volume worksheets and late and hall passes next Monday (next day of class) as well as your liquid volume lab, so be prepared
REMINDERS:  Schoolwide testing tomorrow (no classes); Fall Break Thurs/Fri

Monday 10/12

Journal:



Today I collected phases action heroes, then we went over the mass, volume, density worksheet from last week. If you are still not finished, please have it done by tomorrow 10/13. We will turn it in then.

HW:  mass, density, volume worksheet

Friday 10/9

Journal:

What units are typically used for mass, volume, and density?

Today we watched Bill Nye videos about atoms and molecules as a review of that section of this unit. No makeup work is necessary for today.

HW: mass, volume, density worksheet (due 10/13) and phases action heroes (due 10/12)

Thursday 10/8

Journal:


  1. What are the strengths and limitations to the modern model of the atom?

Today we took our first Structure of Matter mastery quiz. If you missed it, please come find me for a time to make it up. It goes on term 1, so it will need to be before Monday 10/19.

Then we did this worksheet. You may need a blue textbook pg. 24 to help you. I have the key so you can check your work. The worksheet will be due Tues 10/13.

HW:  phases action heroes will be collected Monday 10/12

Wednesday 10/7

Journal:

Make a diagram of each of these atoms:

a. Nitrogen (N)
b. Carbon (C)
c. Fluorine (F)

Today I gave you the class time to finish Phases Action Heroes. Some students turned them in, everyone else will turn them in Monday 10/12.

HW:  action heroes due Monday 10/12; Study for mastery quiz tomorrow

Tuesday 10/6

Journal:

For each of the phase changes, say whether each is a cooling (heat loss) or heating (heat gain) process:  condensation, evaporation, sublimation, freezing, and melting.

Today we took notes on this notes outline (copy a friend's that was in class).

Then we started making "Phases Action Heroes." We will finish tomorrow.

HW:  none
Reminders:  Mastery Quiz Thursday 10/8
