Honors/Gifted Chemistry

Monday

No School due to Labor Day Holiday!!

Tuesday


Standard(s): SC1c. Construct an explanation based on scientific evidence of the production of elements heavier than hydrogen by nuclear fusion.

LT: We are learning how to use scientific evidence to explain how heavier elements were produced.

SC: 

  • I can define nuclear fusion.

  • I can explain the formation of new elements in stars.

  • I can identify the components of a nuclear equation.

  • I can use a nuclear equation to illustrate a nuclear fusion reaction.

  • I can construct an explanation using scientific evidence to explain the creation of heavier elements.

Lesson/Activity:

  • Write down the next 20 Elements for the next Elements Quiz on 9/9

  • Nuclear notes (cont.) and Finish Nuclear Chemistry Webquest (from last Friday’s class)

  • Word Search and “Find the Element” bingo board

  • HW: finish up Lab #1 and Lab #2 write-ups; Flocabulary #3 due Wednesday by 11:59 p.m.; R.A. #5 due Thursday!

Resources: 

  • Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

  • Chromebooks, Google Classroom, worksheets, and note card

Wednesday

  • Crossword Puzzle and vocabulary review sheet

  • Pass out Study Guides

  • HW:  Flocabulary #3 due tonight by 11:59 p.m.; R.A. #5 due on Thursday; Elements Quiz #3 on Monday, September 9th.

Resources: 

  • Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

  • Worksheets (practice and maze)

Thursday

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 tool. 

SC: 

  • I can identify the families on the periodic table.

  • I can differentiate between the row/period and the group/family.

  • I can describe patterns (periodicity) in the arrangement of the periodic table.

  • I can differentiate between metals, nonmetals, and metalloid properties.

Lesson/Activity:

  • Set-up and execute Lab #3: “Filling an Atom with Electrons”

  • Check R.A. #5

  • HW: Elements Quiz #3 on Monday, September 9th; Flocabulary #4 due Wednesday, September 11th by 11:59 p.m.

Resources: 

  • Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston 

  • Candies and poster boards for the lab
