Wednesday and Thursday: Chemistry Practice

Play a round of the Compound card game  located under the windows (15-20 minutes).  Everyone can do the following:

round one:  play the game
round two:  use the deck to create at least 10 compounds.  Name them and write the formula.  Hand in your sheet of paper with your first and last name.

Next do the chem practice sheet.
This is the  Chemistry practice sheet Here is the Chemistry practice sheet key.

Do the work on this practice sheet on your own piece of paper up to page 11.  If you finish, you can continue your practice.   Take breaks as you need to! This is hard work!

Your teacher will give you 5 marks for doing this.

Note there is an activity next week called " Chemistry Karate"  where your chemistry skills will be respectfully assessed by myself and by peers and you will demonstrate your level of chemistry karate belt.  The goal is to move up one belt, not for everyone to be a black belt ! 

 

Monday & Tuesday lesson: Continued practice with the Law of Conservation of Mass

 Review my video lesson  on Balancing Equations  . You watched this last class but it might be worth a review

Here is another lesson video on balancing equations (you did not watch this last period)

Take a look at these CLASS NOTES on balancing equations.  I did not get a chance to photocopy these notes but you may do the work on another piece of paper.   Your teacher will review these notes with you and teach you how to balance equations. 

Your teacher will give you a work period mark out of 5 for completing your assignment.  You may use the remaining part of the class as a study block.  Remember that you are expected to have completed the work from last week too so you can work on that.   

TUESDAY LESSON

This next worksheet is more challenging . You will need to write WORD EQUATIONS in addition to balance the equation!   Remember the steps to writing FORMULA AND NAMES  from the lessons last week. 

Do the questions from this more challenging worksheet and review the answers with your teacher , who has the answer key. Your teacher will give you 5 work period marks for completing this, if you can. 

Friday: The Law of Conservation of Lego

Your teacher will show you my lesson video to learn about the law of conservation of Lego .   Take out the lego and see if you can try modeling some of the equations from this video.  Remember that the amount of lego you start out with must equal the amount of lego you end up with. 

  

Using the lego located in the shelves under the windows,  try to model the following equations and show your teacher. Your teacher will give you 5 marks for showing your work.  If you finish, you may use the block as a study block or you can finish up the worksheet from 2 days ago.

Thursday lesson: Play the Game of Compound

 There are compound cards located in the bottom shelf of the shelves under the windows of my classroom. Find these cards.  Hand out a set of cards to groups of 3.  Watch a review of the compound game. 

Some of these decks of cards have too many anions or cations.  Balance all the decks so they work properly.  

Today's work is:

1. Play the game of compound level 1.  Just say "Compound!"

2.  Play levels 2 by naming the real name of the compound.

3.  On a piece of paper with your name on it, practice making at least 15 compounds, write their formula and write their name!  Your teacher will make a list of your names and give you 5 marks for completing this list of 15 compounds. 

Wednesday Nomenclature practice

For the teacher: Please print out a class roster for each class because students will receive work period marks for every day that they are working on the lessons this week. Thank you.

For students:  Please watch the following lesson video on writing formula.  Your teacher will explain these concepts to you.  Work on your worksheet . If you finish, you may use the rest of the block to study. Thanks.

My chemistry lesson videos are as follows

 

Assignment:

 Nomenclature practice sheet. Do these practice sheets for 5 marks . Your teacher will make a list of people from our class who has completed the worksheet. 

Answer key is here

An introduction to chemistry

 1. Watch these two videos and create a one page poster summarizing the main ideas . 

 2. Your teacher will give you a chemistry booklet. Work on the first page 

An analogy for Atoms, Compounds and Formula, drawn by SN This video is the first in the series for beginner Chemistry. In this video, I use the analogy of the atom as units very much like "lego bricks". This analogy was first used by researchers in MIT.
