Today: DJ FRIDAY and WORK TIME! Students worked through P21 with small groups.  Then completed summary questions.

Homework: Summary Questions - see below

1. Hydrogen Bromide is a compound formed by hydrogen and bromine.  In a chemical reaction, .6L of hydrogen combine with .6L of bromine to form 1.2L of hydrogen bromide.

a. What is the volume ratio of hydrogen to bromide to hydrogen bromide?
b. write a word equation
c. draw a picture equation
d. what is the least number possible of atoms in a molecule of bromine?

3. Choose one of Dalton's statements from his atomic theory and explain how lab P21 is evidence that supports it.

P20 Summary Questions

1. How is volume ratio different than mass ratio?  Why?

2. Why do the compounds form in whole number ratios?

3. What is the name of the process for the reactions creating the gaseous compounds?

4. How do you find the total volume of reactants?  How do you find the total volume of products?

5. ESSAY RESPONSE. Pick one of Dalton’s statements and explain how this lab supports the statement.  Your answer should be atleast 5-7 sentences.

May 12, 2014

Today: Students completed lab P19 presentations.  They also took a P15-17 check in quiz.  Lastly, we read about Joseph Gay Lussac and his observations on volume ratios of gaseous compounds.  We will complete lab P20 tomorrow.

Homework: MAKE UP WORK!!!

- 21 days left. BE on your GAME!

May 9, 2014

Today: Students finished writing their presentations about Dalton's Atomic Theory.  Then groups began presentations.  At the end of class there was a POP QUIZ on Lab P17.

Homework:  Check Powerschool!

Mrs. Setten

May 8, 2014

Today: We reviewed key concepts from lab P17.  Then students grouped together to prepare presentations about Dalton's Atomic Theory.  Each group is responsible for one of Dalton's seven statements and must use evidence from our previous labs to share whether or not  the statement is supported.

Homework: LATE WORK!

May 7, 2014

Today: Students completed lab P17.

Homework: P17 Graph and Summary Questions - due tomorrow

Homework: LATE WORK- ASAP!

Mrs. Setten

May 1, 2014

Today: Students brainstormed physical vs chemical changes to review.  Then students broke into two groups.  One group stayed with Mrs. Setten to review how to draw System Analysis Diagrams.  The other group worked on drawing their own examples of the analysis and synthesis of substances in the back.  Then as a whole group we discussed the main ideas from lab P15.  Students ended class with a quiz on P15.

Homework: Turn in ALL late work.  It is YOUR job to complete work ON TIME.  Now is not the time to slack! We must finish the year strong to prepare for a vigorous schedule next year at the high school.
