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:

• Lab #9: “Types of Chemical Reactions” (half in lab; then switch to the other half)

• (Half not in lab) Pixel Art: “Counting Atoms and Balancing Chemical Equations” due on Tuesday, November 5th; then Flocabulary #12: “Avogadro’s Number;” and then the new Household Products Project due next Friday, November 15th.

• HW: R.A. #18 and #19 due this week; Test on Thursday, November 7th; Sub Day on Friday, November 8th; Flocabulary #12 due on Tuesday, November 12th (after Veterans Day on Monday, November 11th).
