Calcium and Water lab write up

We did notes on the Law of Conservation of Mass and we did a lab.  This is the criteria for the lab write up



Your lab must include the following

1.  First and Last names of all investigators
2. Purpose of lab:  write about how this lab illustrates the law of conservation of mass.  Explain how the lab relates to the law
3. Materials: write a complete list of materials that we used
4. Procedure: write a step by step procedure (including illustrations if it makes it clearer) that is so well written that another person could read it and replicate your actions exactly
5.  What is the question we are trying to answer?  Write the two chemistry equations which were our possible outcomes of this reaction?  Oxygen gas or Hydrogen gas?
6. Results:  Describe in detail what happened after you did the procedure.  Include any photos you took.  How did you know you made the gas, which gas?  And was it Calcium hydroxide that was made? How do you know?

7.  Write your conclusion in paragraph form.


EVALUATION   IS OUT OF 25 IN TOTAL

5
presentation is out of 5.  for 5/5 it is typed  with illustrations or photos and emailed to msngscience@gmail.com.     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
               5-6   your conclusions don't really logically follow from your results
                0-4   your conclusions are not relating to your results at all
     

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
write all names and who contributed what including the % of their contribution. so two people who contributed equally would be50%

more and more practice makes perfect!


YOU already worked through the  Chemistry practice sheet and the Chemistry practice sheet key.  Do at least til page 15.  You don't need to do hydrate nomenclature.

Next you are to do some worksheets called " Monatomic Ions" .  THIS NEEDS TO BE FINISHED for HOMEWORK for 3 marks 

Our next topic is covalent compounds.
Here is another practice sheet that tests your ability to do covalent compounds too!

IONIC AND COVALENT PRACTICE SHEET AND TUTORIAL . Which includes covalent compounds.

Furthermore, here is another practice sheet which summarizes the basics:

PRACTICE SHEET AND NOTES   AND THE ANSWER KEY

Chemistry practice


Start the class with a round of the Compound card game  located in the bucket 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.

Note there is a quiz next period called " Chemistry Karate"

Safety

Now we are doing a unit on safety. Please do the reading, the homework and MAKE A POSTER SHOWING ALL THE RULES. SUMMARIZE ALL THE RULES IN 4 OR 5 STATEMENTS
1.    




































                                                    WHMIS -  WORKPLACE HAZARDOUS 

                         MATERIALS INFORMATION
                         SYSTEM 

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

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 text.  Then you will take the Finn Laboratory Saftey Test

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
       Emergency procedures for fire, toxins, spills, and evacuation  


SAFETY ASSIGNMENT:  I divided you into groups and talked about WHMIS.  Make a poster of the 18 safety rules which I went over  in class. 
Your group must draw a comic showing all the safety rules on one side of the page. put numbers to show where the rule is being applied.   

RUBRIK:  out of 10
YOUR POSTER IS COMPLETE SHOWING ALL 20 RULES      5 marks
   it is missing a few of the rules   2-4 marks

the poster is neat and organized and easy to read    3 marks
      it could be better organized and not so cluttered  1-2 marks

the poster is remarkably artistic and creative and is different in some way   2 marks
    the poster is very well done and artistic 1.5 marks
    the poster is artistic    1 mark
