EVALUATION   IS OUT OF 25 IN TOTAL

5
presentation is out of 5.  for 5/5 it is typed  with illustrations or photos and handed in electronically or on paper
     for 4/5 it is pretty good but there are a few spelling mistakes.  for 0-3 out of 5 it is in pencil or messy.  I prefer this to be printed

10
Clear writing is out of 10.  for 9/10 or 10/10, it is written with no English mistakes and it clearly communicates each part of the lab report.    7-8/10  it is very well written     for 5-6/10 some parts are not so clear and the reader must guess what you are trying to say.  0-4/10, it is minimally communicating what happened

10
Paragraphs are insightful and your observations are well done. this is out of 10.
             9-10/10,   your observations and conclusions are well written and logical.  It is brilliant
              7-8/10   your observations and conclusions are very well done

 answer key to your chapter 6 worksheet

LESSON: Chemical reactions may be categorized as follows : 

1.     Synthesis
2.     Decomposition
3.     Single replacement
4.     Double replacement

5.     Combustion
       Cellular Respiration
6.     Oxidation of metals



Synthesis reaction:
element     +   element    -->    compound




Decomposition reaction:
Compound    -->   element     +     element
Or

Compound --> smaller compound    +   element




DOUBLE REPLACEMENT


single replacement
IN ADDITION TO THE FOUR TYPES ABOVE, THERE ARE ALSO THREE MORE KINDS of reaction TO KNOW: 

Combustion:  combustion may happen to any *organic compound* meaning any compound made of carbon, hydrogen and/or oxygen...
Carbon based compound+ oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water
+ heat and light energy












Cell respiration looks like combustion,
BUT IT IS NOT. YOUR CELLS ARE NOT COMBUSTING.  The carbon based compound in this case is glucose, a simple sugar.

Glucose +   oxygen -->  carbon dioxide + water + energy for cell


Oxidation reaction

Metal +  oxygen   -->   metal oxide

ACID BASE REACTIONS ARE ALL NEUTRALIZATION REACTIONS

Liver Anyone?

 


In the human body, ENZYMES help speed up chemical reactions. 

Today we take a piece of raw pork liver and add it to Hydrogen Peroxide.  Raw liver contains an enzyme called "catalase" which has a job of breaking the bonds in hydrogen peroxide.  When those bonds are broken, atoms rearrange themselves and new products are formed.  

In today's lab, we discover the new products

An introduction to Chemistry: The analogy of the Atom as lego

  

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.

Safety

 MAKE A POSTER SHOWING   SUMMARY OF ALL THE RULES

and have a look at this standard science safety quiz

1. 
































                         WHMIS -  WORKPLACE HAZARDOUS 

                         MATERIALS INFORMATION
                         SYSTEM 

      THESE symbols are on the MSDS sheet for
       all chemicals    Materials safety Data Sheet. 

THESE ARE MY SCIENCE SAFETY RULES:

1. Follow teacher instructions
a.     If you wish to change instructions, check with teacher
b.     If you break anything or get hurt, report it REPORT ACCIDENTS

2.     .No horseplay, fooling around
3.     Keep yourself safe
a.     Hair tied back, no loose clothing, shoes are closed
b.     If chemicals get on skin, use water
c.     Use eyewash if anything gets in eyes
d.     Wear goggles if needed
e.  If you wear contacts, inform the teacher

4.       Keep your area safe
a.     your work area is neat and organized
b.     you have your lab instructions
c.     aware of fire safety and chemical safety

5.     Keep the classroom safe
a.     Carry materials in a safe way
b.     Aware of fire safety procedure
c.     Don’t remove any experiments from the classroom
d.     Don’t do experiments without first checking with teacher.


6.       Hot and cold and chemical safety
a.     never assume the temperature of something.  Take precautions
b.     hot beaker and cold beaker look identical
c.     always point a test tube away from everyone
d.     when smelling a chemical, waft.

You will create safety rules by reading and summarizing the safety procedures in your poster

The rules can be under the following categories:
HIGHEST PRIORITIES:

THESE RULES CAN BE SUMMED UP LIKE THIS
      Talk to the instructor                     

KEEP ORGANIZED AND SAFE
Keep the classroom safe
Keeping your work area safe
Keep safe with your colleagues
Keep yourself safe
KNOW THE SYMBOLS
Know the correct symbols, WHIMIS symbols


COMMUNICATE AND REACT TO AN EMERGENCY
     be familiar with emergency procedures for fire, toxins, spills, and evacuation  


SAFETY ASSIGNMENT: . Make a poster of the safety rules 

Make a safety poster which is 
Exceptionally creative and it stands out  It includes all the WHMIS symbols and all the science SAFETY rules listed above . It is done in colour and ink  22-25/25

Your poster is very creative and artistic and includes all the WHMIS symbols and all the science rules . It is done in pencil  18-21 

all the WHMIS symbols and all the science rules . It is mostly done and needs a bit extra work 10-15

This is a good start and seems like a great draft. It needs more time to complete it. 0-10

Chemistry Karate Practice!

 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!
 10 marks for completing this. 

later,  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 !
