Watch my lecture on Ionic bonding. Work on the worksheet on ionic bonding and also work on your compound cards
Make a deck of compound cards using the list of Common Ions which I gave to you in class. Don't just make one of each card, make lots of repeat cards of the same ion so that the deck can be used to play a game. Include as many of the ions as you can. The challenge is to create a set of cards which can be used to play solitaire. Photograph your set of compounds.
Evaluation criteria
18-20- your cards are complete and you were able to make a variety of compounds. The deck is very creative. And the writing is legible, in ink or typed.
15-17 - your cards are comprehensive but not totally complete. The deck is written in pencil.
10-14 - your cards are a good start and almost a complete set. the deck is written in pencil
0-9 - your cards are pretty good but they are not yet complete. You need to complete this assignment.
In our first lesson we will go over science safety and start out with studying the ATOM.
I will do a lesson on phase changes of atoms demonstrating SOLID, LIQUID, GAS.
I will ask you to write a paragraph describing our demo and also explaining phase changes in solid liquid and gas
Assignment 2: summarize the class activity SOLID LIQUID AND GAS and explain how I did the demonstration using the following words: solid, liquid, gas, evapouration, condensation, absolute zero, thermal energy, space between atoms. draw a picture of the demo.or cartoon, or photograph.
completed summary: /10
8-10 / 10 - you explain the concepts in clear language and use all vocab words. You are an exceptional communicator and you are correct. your grasp of the concepts are excellent.
6-7/10 - you do an incredible job of summarizing and explaining the concepts. you miss a few of the words
0-5/10- this work is not yet complete
this is due next day
Assignment 3: Practice questions: What is an atom?
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.
assignment :
1. Please do this worksheet in pen and also photograph it :
An introduction to Chemistry worksheet. The answer key to the worksheets are all here.
2. practice making a model of ATOM, ELEMENT, COMPOUND, MIXTURE and label it
3. practice making lego formulae. Take a picture of the lego formulae you did in class
We will learn the analogy of LEGO and practice building lego compounds, and writing lego formulae
Take a picture of the work you did in class
4. Colour code the periodic table
15 marks
Examples:
1. Take a good look around our science room and imagine we are just about to do a lab were each student is given a flask of acid, a candle and magnesium. Identify ALL POTENTIAL HAZARDS in point form
2. Identify ANYTHING IN THE ROOM TO MITIGATE those hazards! in point form
3. DRAW A MAP showing where the safety equipment is for all the things you mentioned in number 2
evaluation:
9-10/10. Your assignment is complete, neat creative and inked and coloured
7-8 Your assignment is complete, neat creative and really well done! it is in pencil
3-6. your assignment is a good start. it is incomplete.
Welcome to Science 10!
This course is a lab course which will cover Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Astronomy. It is expected that you will receive most of your course content on line and we will do labs and field study in class. You will hand in ALL assignments through Microsoft Teams. I have set up my class so that the majority of the class notes shall be distributed on line from this blog.
The majority of class time will be lab work (chemistry and physics experiments, microscope work) and also field study (walking to Trout Lake). My windows shall be open ALL THE TIME to give us nice fresh air so dress warmly!
ASSIGNMENT 1. HAND IN YOUR CONSENT FORM /5
It will give us the ability to walk to Trout Lake or Renfrew Ravine or Central Park at any time that I announce during the term. Bring this consent form to class.
evaluation: 5 points for handing this in
As we go into your semester, I would like to prepare for learning during the second wave of Covid 19. I would like to remind everyone that the best way to protect one another in class is to keep our distance (2m), wash our hand frequently AND to wear a mask especially in indoor spaces. Further, the greatest protection you have is getting vaccinated!
I invite you to flatten the curve by these simple measures! We will beat Covid 19 together! Further, all of my class assignments will be posted here on this blog and therefore, if anyone misses any class due to illness, or self-isolation, you can easily keep up with the work.
SAFETY MEASURES:
In class, our safety measures will include:
- physical distance, as much as possible in our class.
- wear a mask! It is strongly encouraged by our VSB! (if you have medical reasons for not wearing a mask, please have your guardian inform me)
- no academic penalties for being home sick, or isolating, or you found out your friend has covid and you think you'd better isolate, or you are afraid of the covid situation.
- windows shall be open in my class to admit adequate ventilation.
- we can conduct class outside sometimes to do field study
- I encourage ALL STUDENTS TO GET THE VACCINE!!! I myself am vaccinated!
- if you do not have the vaccine, the following places are dangerous: ANY SPACE WHERE YOU SHARE AIR WITH PEOPLE NOT WEARING A MASK INDOORS.
MAKE A POSTER SHOWING SUMMARY OF ALL THE RULES
