Today: Students finished Lab P15 "Analyzing Blue Vitriol".  During this lab they were able to analyze and synthesize Blue Vitriol.  Students learned how to draw system analysis diagrams.  This will help with knowing where reactants and products belong in a chemical equation.

Homework: P15 Summary Questions - due tomorrow (4/1)

ADOPT-AN-ELEMENT were due last Friday and I am still missing a number of them... make it a priority to turn those in!

Today: Students played a few rounds of Guess the Element! Then they took a quick periodic table check in.  Based on their score - they chose an area where they could improve to study for our upcoming Periodic Table test.

Students who have mastered the skills and were not missing assignments participated in a 10th grade level Chemistry lesson  focused on electron configurations with orbitals.

Homework: Study for the TEST!

**PERIODIC TABLE ASSESSMENT - next Tuesday and Wednesday.  Make sure you have your periodic table for it!
