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. 

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 the conservation of matter/mass.

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

• I can identify the five types of chemical reactions.

• I can predict the products of a simple chemical reaction using valence electrons, periodic trends, and chemical properties,

• I can use the activity series of elements to predict if products will form in a reaction.

Lesson/Activity:

• Finish Lab #9 write-up.

• Execute Lab #9 (everyone must be dressed properly).

• Work on PhET or NEW Pixel Art in Google Classroom using Chromebooks.

• HW: Flocabulary #9 on “Balancing Chemical Equations” is due tonight by 11:59 p.m. Three R.A.s due this week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

• Lab equipment, aprons, googles, and fume hood

• Notebooks

• PhET, Pixel Art in Google Classroom, and Chromebooks (all after the lab)
