Monday

Professional Learning Day - No School for Students!


Tuesday

Teacher Workday - No School for Students!


Wednesday

Report to HR first and follow HR Schedule for the day!

Standard(s): 

  • SCSh1: Students will evaluate the importance of curiosity, honesty, openness, and skepticism in science.

  • SCSh2: Students will use standard Safety Practices for all classroom laboratory and field investigations.

LT: 

  • We are learning about the fundamental principles of chemistry.

  • We are learning about safety procedures in a laboratory setting.

SC:

  • I can describe the major attributes/characteristics of chemistry.

  • I can identify how chemistry differs and is similar to other sciences.

  • I can determine safety procedures for laboratory investigations.

  • I can determine a response if a safety procedure is violated.

Lesson/Activity:

  • Welcome to class and where supplies are located in the room

  • Get assigned Chromebook (see list for correct number) and start/complete “Flocabulary #1: The Scientific Method.”

  • Syllabus & class procedures (handouts)

  • Multiple Intelligence Surveys and Emergency Contact information sheet

  • HW - bring back Thursday, if you don't finish in class.)

Resources: 

  • Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston 


Thursday

Standard(s): 

  • SCSh2: Students will use standard Safety Practices for all classroom laboratory and field investigations.

  • SCSh3: Students will identify and investigate problems scientifically.

  • SCSh4: Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and manipulating scientific equipment and materials.

LT: 

  • We are learning about safety procedures in a laboratory setting.

  • We are learning how to investigate problems like a scientist.

  • We are learning to analyze and interpret data to develop reasonable scientific explanations.

  • We are learning to communicate results from scientific investigations and information.

SC:

  • I can determine safety procedures for laboratory investigations.

  • I can determine a response if a safety procedure is violated.

  • I can identify the problem using observation techniques (five senses).

  • I can make an inference from my observations.

  • I can use my inferences to form a hypothesis.

  • I can design a single-variable controlled experiment to test my hypothesis.

  • I can determine tools and equipment to test my hypothesis.

  • I can test my hypothesis.

Lesson/Activity:

  • Turn in Multiple Intelligence Survey and contact information from yesterday’s class

  • Chem Chat - formative pre-assessment of prior knowledge and introduction activity (in lab area in pairs or trios)

  • Groups not in lab will be looking over the Lab Safety Packet given out for the quiz on Wednesday, January 15th (start studying) and completing the “Find the mistakes in the lab” document

  • HW: Get your 5-subject spiral-bound notebooks over this weekend, which is due on Monday, January 13th to set-up in class.

Resources: 

  • Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

  • Worksheets - ChemChat, Lab Safety Packet, Lab mistakes

Lesson/Activity:

  • Continue Chem Chat - formative pre-assessment of prior knowledge and introduction activity (in lab area in pairs or trios)

  • Measurement worksheet to do in groups for those not doing the ChemChat or who have already completed it.

  • Get textbook and R.A. sheet (first one is due next Tuesday, January 14th.)

  • HW: Get your 5-subject spiral-bound notebooks over this weekend; work on R.A. #1 (lab safety review in the front of the textbook).

Resources: 

  • Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

  • ChemChat, measurement, and R.A. worksheets
