Honors/Gifted Chemistry

Monday

Standard(s): 

• SC3a. Use mathematics and computational thinking to balance chemical reactions (i.e., synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion) and construct an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.

• SC3b. Plan and carry out an investigation to determine that a new chemical has been formed by identifying indicators of a chemical reaction (e.g., precipitate formation, gas evolution, color change, water production, and changes in energy to the system).

LT: We are learning how to identify, balance, and predict outcomes of a chemical reaction using valence electrons, periodic trends, and chemical properties.

SC: 

• I can identify and define the parts and symbols of a chemical reaction.

• I can write the chemical equation using the word equation.

• I can count how many atoms are in a compound. 

• I can use coefficients to balance a chemical equation.

• I can define the law of conservation of matter. 

• I can explain how the law of conservation of matter is observed in reactions.

Lesson/Activity:

• Notes on the FIVE Types of Chemical Reactions

• Pixel Art: “Conservation of Mass” due on Wednesday, October 30th.

• Study and take Ion Quiz (moved from last Thursday due to the PSAT on Tuesday and the Band rehearsal on Thursday.

• HW: Flocabulary #10 and #11 due tonight by 11:59 p.m.; R.A. #16 and #17 due this week!

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

• Chromebooks

• Promethean Board and PowerPoint
