Honors/Gifted Chemistry

Monday

Standard(s): SC2a. Plan and carry out an investigation to gather evidence to compare the physical and chemical properties at the macroscopic scale to infer the strength of intermolecular and intramolecular forces.

LT: We are learning how to compare chemical and physical properties using inter- and intramolecular forces.

SC: 

• I can define and compare inter- and intra-molecular properties. 

• I can differentiate between microscopic and macroscopic scales using particle diagrams. 

• I can evaluate the strength of inter- and intra- molecular forces based on properties.

Lesson/Activity:

• Lab #6: Micro-Mixture Separation Lab (everyone MUST be dressed appropriately to do this lab) - First set of groups only!

• Groups not in lab: Classification of Matter Maze, Flocabulary assignments; set up for Lab #7, and R.A.s due this week.

• HW: Two Flocabulary assignments are due tonight by 11:59 p.m.; Three R.A.s are due this week ,and then none for two weeks ,while notebooks are being checked.

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

• Pivotinteractives.com, Flocabulary, or PhET “States of Matter”

Lesson/Activity:

• Check R.A. #13.

• Continue Lab #6 for those who did not finish it (2nd set of groups)

• Groups not in lab: Classification of Matter Maze, Flocabulary assignments; set up for Lab #7, and R.A.s due this week.

• HW: R.A. #14 on Wednesday and R.A. #15 on due before Mini-Fall Break on Friday, the 11th.

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

Wednesday

Standard(s):  SC1f. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms (i.e. including atomic radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity).

LT: We are learning how to use the periodic table as a model to predict the properties of elements.

SC: 

• I can explain how the structure of the periodic table is related to the valence electrons.

• I can define the properties atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity.

• I can use the periodic table to predict properties of an element.

Lesson/Activity:

• Check R.A. #14.

• Finish up Lab #6 (go over Flow Chart for Results section, Error Analysis with Hypotheses Examination, and Conclusion).

• Notes on “Trends of the Periodic Table.”

• Show the trends on a worksheet to glue in their notes section. (It also reviews some of their recent vocabulary!)

• HW: R.A. #15 due Thursday!

Resources:

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston 

• Promethean Board, PowerPoint, PhET, Flocabulary, worksheets, graphs
