Today we did some review of Scientific Method and did a test your own hypothesis lab.
First we did THIS worksheet to practice the steps of Scientific Method. Next we worked on THIS lab to test our own hypothesis about reaction rates.
Make sure you have completed this lab for homework with a graph and a conclusion.
Today we did an acid/base lab to determine which Antacid was the most effective against stomach acid. The lab is found HERE. Bring the lab back to complete on Friday if you need to.
Next we continued with notes on Biomolecules and we had a great discussion about CARBOHYDRATES!! Power point is HERE
For homework: Read Chapter 2.4 and complete Module Part C, but only C i) Overview and C ii) Synthesis and Hydrolysis
Modules found HERE.
Practice for water and acid base QUIZ-----happening on Friday!! found HERE.
Today we did a little demo on different household acids and bases using an acid and base indicator.
Next we looked at a small section of our notes on organic chemistry and functional groups. The power point is found HERE- goes along with yesterday's note sheet.
We finished the water lab from last class and then did a FUNCTIONAL group handout. This handout is found HERE
You should also have completed the module questions Part A and Part B. We went over some of the answers in class.
Today we wrote our SAFETY QUIZ. Great work everyone! Next we completed our tour of the classroom looking at lots of scientific equipment. Make sure you keep the handout with pictures of the equipment for future reference!
Next we went through the power point notes on Scientific Method and finished filling those out. The notesheet is here and the power point is here.
No homework today, but here is an interesting video on the placebo effect.
Today we added to our notes on acids and bases. If you were away, check with someone who was in class to get these notes. Next we got THIS notesheet to go with THIS power point. We finished up to and including all the functions of water.
Finally we got our MODULE questions. These questions get turned in at the end of the unit. I will give you "check points" each night of where you should be at. Make sure you do the reading in the textbook as well. Tonight read chapter 2.3: Chemistry of Water and answer Part A (role of water) and Part B (acids/bases) in the module. Module questions are found HERE.
Today we practiced for the safety quiz. Make sure you go over the WHMIS symbols and what they stand for. Below is the WHMIS video. Next we took some notes on Scientific Method. The power point is found HERE and the notesheet that goes with it is HERE. Next we answered some questions about qualitative and quantitative data by doing the instant practice questions on page 475.
Finally we learned the names of lab equipment by going around the classroom and naming the equipment. Use THIS sheet (last 2 pages) to help you practice the "fancy" scientific names of things.
