Practice and more practice

Do the some useful practice worksheets copyright Ms. Meer:  and the answer key for molecular compounds.   The safety test will be postponed to thursday.

science conference opportunity

Dr. David Ng is organizing a science extravaganza filled with lecture, demos and hands on interaction with science stuff:

MOST EXCEPTIONAL ESCAPADES IN SCIENCE CONFERENCE

I  would like to register  students from my four classes on a first come first serve basis.  We may need to collect a fee for a sub (about $15) but I'll attempt to get that waved.

Let me know if you are interested!

Safety Test

We will be having a safety test in preparation for doing chemistry labs.  Please read through the Laboratory Safety Test from Finn Scientific . Read through the safety instructions in your science text.  and Create a Safety Poster :  Your poster ought to cover major themes including but not limited to the following topics:

- instructions
- personal safety
- personal classroom space, shared classroom space
- group safety
- first aid
- fire
- MSDS labels

Your safety poster ought to have fewer than 7 main rules which cover all the topics. (14 marks) It ought to be creative (3 marks) and eye catching and colourful (3 marks) Colour need not be from a colour printer.  I have lots of lovely colouring felts in class for you to use!! .  It is worth 20 marks
DUE DATE is FEB 10.  Bonus if you make a safety vid.

We did some lessons and also a Quiz on the following topics:

Topic 1.  Write the Bohr diagram, the Lewis diagram and tell me the number of Protons, Electrons and Neutrons of any atom.  We used this worksheet to practice  (copyright T. Trimpe, 2002).
Here is a nice summary (copyright Chino Valley Unified School District) of what we learned so far.

Topic 2.  We also learned how to write any ionic compound and also any covalent compound. Below you will find a useful video summary of how to do ionic and covalent compounds.



Topic 3;  We did some practicing of grade nine nomenclature stuff.  Here are some useful practice worksheets copyright Ms. Meer:  and the answer key
