Today we took notes on combining KE and PE. These notes are found HERE. Next we practiced some of these problems with THIS worksheet. You can omit #7 for now. We watched a cool video on dropping objects in a vacuum chamber:
Today we took notes on gravitational potential energy found HERE. Next we did the questions #1, #3ab, 6 and 7 on the front page of THIS worksheet.
Next we took notes on kinetic energy found HERE. Then we did the questions from the back of the worksheet #1, #3ab
Today we practiced understanding the difference between kinetic and potential energy and looking at different forms of energy. We did THIS worksheet. Next we took THESE notes and did THIS worksheet on transformation of energy.
We watched a video on the energy of roller coasters and built our own CATAPULT to transform elastic potential energy into mechanical kinetic energy.
Today we wrote the Chemistry Unit Test. Next we read the section of the text book on ENERGY. We took notes on different types of energy and the difference between Kinetic and Potential Energy. The power point is found HERE.
Finally we watched a Bill Nye video on Energy.
Today we got our Chemistry Review back and talked about ways to prepare for the UNIT TEST tomorrow. Make sure you bring your data booklet for the test. Next we did some practice questions on page 186-187. Do questions #8, 9, 10, 11ab, 15, 16 and 17. Answers are HERE.
Today we did a lab for the WHOLE class: 6 types of reaction on page 180-181. Answer questions #1, 3 and 4 on page 182.
Today we finished off the Acids, Bases and Salts Lab and turned it in. Next we worked on our TEST REVIEW that is due tomorrow!!!!
We also took some short notes on balancing equations from a word equation:
