PLANS FOR THE WEEK OF:

AUGUST 23-27, 21

Welcome Back!!

This week we will be going over class policies, the locations of important materials in the classroom, and getting to know each other.

SEPTEMBER 14-18

Monday/Tuesday

Last week we added in tools that are utilized in a laboratory setting, which took place of starting the measurement unit. We will start by going over that paper to check for correctness. Then, the students will be assigned to read pages 5-11 of the handout about matter, mass, weight, and volume calculated by LxWxH in addition to a worksheet to review basic lab materials and a worksheet to practice metric measurement. As students work on these online and paper activities (links below,) the other group will be completing a series of measurement activities. The activity worksheet was distributed last week and can be found in the measurement section of google classroom. They will utilize the online instruction link below and complete the related assignment. This is either a scanned document attached in google classroom or a paper copy in class.

Length: Metric Ruler: How to read and use https://www.texasgateway.org/resource/scientific-investigation-and-reasoning-measurement

Mass: Triple Beam Balance: Parts and how to use one https://www.wisc-online.com/learn/natural-science/chemistry/gch202/reading-a-triple-beam-balance

Wednesday/Thursday

The reading questions and mass and volume assignments are due for a grade and will be checked at the beginning of class. We will go over these worksheets to make sure the students have the correct answers to study. Then, the students will utilize the link below and then complete the volume portion of the unit. Instruction will include a lesson in displacement and 1ml = 1 cm3. Volume:

Graduated Cylinder: How to read and use https://www.wisc-online.com/learn/natural-science/chemistry/gch302/measuring-volume-using-a-graduated-cylinder

Friday

The volume portion will be checked at the beginning of class and we will go over the answers.

Students can expect to have a quiz on this material the second half of the block on Monday/Tuesday.

Standards: According to Ohio’s Academic Science Standards, Physical Science comprises the “systematic study of the physical world as it relates to fundamental concept about matter, energy, and motion. In order for students to study these concepts, they must be familiar with the necessary tools utilized in a laboratory setting and the methods by which to use these tools. Therefore, material regarding metric units of measurement and the techniques utilized to find the necessary measurements must be studied. Students will be completing practice worksheets that correspond with each of these lessons.

SEPTEMBER 8-11, 2020

Tuesday/Wednesday

Students will be reviewing their scientific word parts again. Their quiz will be either on Thursday or Friday, depending on when their class meets. 9^th period will take their quiz on Thursday.

After reviewing their word parts, the students will begin to review measurement techniques that will be utilized in laboratory situations. The speed at which these are completed depends on the progress of the class. Most likely, the students will be assigned the metric ruler measurement during their first class and it will be checked during their next class period. This means that the face-to-face students will turn in a physical copy during their next class period and the online students will have submitted it through google classroom prior to the beginning of the next class so we can go over the answers.

They will utilize the online instruction link below and complete the related assignment. This is either a scanned document attached in google classroom or a paper copy in class.

Thursday/Friday

Students will take their word part quiz during their respective class.

After the quiz, we will most likely be going over the metric measurement worksheet. After that, the students will use the Triple Beam balance website to learn how to use this piece of equipment. They will utilize the online instruction link below and complete the related assignment. This is either a scanned document attached in google classroom or a paper copy in class.

There are some new classroom procedures being introduced this year, so we are going to go over them and practice them. They might seem silly, but they'll help. Trust me!

We will also go over individual supplies that are needed for class. These materials are needed by next Monday, August 26th. Each student needs:

• Something to write with (I am not picky about this

• A binder that is at least 1.5"

• Loose leaf paper (or a notebook that can go in the binder)

• A folder with your name on it that can be left in the classroom - nothing fancy!

Each student also needs to bring supplies in for general classroom use. They are asked to bring in 4 supplies, which can be any combination of kleenex, paper towels, baggies (any size), colored pencils, index cards, glue sticks, disinfectant wipes, or pencils. These are due by Tuesday, September 6th.

WEDNESDAY: Today we are going to go over lab safety procedures and you will receive your lab safety contract. This needs to be signed (including parent/guardian) and returned by September 3rd. If you do not return this, you will not be permitted to participate in any labs and will earn a zero for them.

General lab safety video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEIXRLcC6RA

You will have quiz on the lab safety material next week.(Probably Tuesday)

Then, you are going to get copies of your physical science word parts and an assignment that will help you explore them and their meanings.You will work on this during class so I can assist you and answer any questions you have. This assignment will be due on FRIDAY.

We will be practicing these together in class AND you will be practicing them at home. You will have a quiz next Wednesday covering the word parts. I recommend breaking it down and selecting some to work on every day until then. TRUST ME, you aren't going to learn them all over night!

THURSDAY: Today we are going to review lab safety and review your word parts. Remember, yesterday's word part assignment is due tomorrow! Continue to study them for your quizzes next week!

FRIDAY: PS.M.1-5 Today we are going to go over the multiple choice and short answer portions of the review.

(12/10 - 12/14)

MONDAY: Today you are going to try this website and make 10 covalent bonds. As you create them, write them on a piece of paper. You need the lewis dot structure bond, the bond using stick, the formula, and the name of the covalent compound.

https://teachchemistry.org/periodical/issues/september-2016/ionic-covalent-bonding

If the website doesn't work, you can just use the periodic table and do it on your own.

TUESDAY: Due to Students creating many ionic bonds instead of covalent bonds, the students are being given the 12 possible combinations of compounds from the website. They will complete and go over them during class.

WEDNESDAY: This interactive tutorial is available for you to practice the Lewis dot structures of covalent bonding https://www.wisc-online.com/learn/general-education/general-chemistry/gch9118/lewis-dot-structures-of-covalent-compounds We will also be playing two kahoots today to compare ionic and covalent bonding https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/a1cc3ee6-ccab-4443-b3ee-fba4faa4e918 and to review covalent bonding https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/b45ce874-c8e2-4dca-9a27-9a14248935d9 alone.

THURSDAY: I will not be in school today or tomorrow. You have multiple worksheets to complete. You will be practicing identifying the type of bond, covalent naming, reviewing the differences between ionic and covalent bonding, and then creating diagrams of bonds. You have plenty of resources to make this possible. You can use the book to review anything you need. There are links to videos we have watched as you scroll down through my lesson plans, notes, old worksheets, and tests. BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE RESOURCES, YOU MUST HAVE THESE WORKSHEETS DONE. IT IS AN ALL OR NOTHING ASSIGNMENT. I WILL CHECK THEM ON MONDAY.

FRIDAY: MAKE GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME!

(12/03 - 12/07)

MONDAY: Today you are going to do a review sheet that covers ionic bonding. Your notes and the papers we did on Thursday and Friday will help you. Ionic bonding requires you to THINK about what is taking place. This is the sum of many parts we have been studying over the past 2 months. You need to put the effort in to be successful! If you don't understand something, please ASK!!!!

This is a helpful activity, but I don't know if it works on the chrome books or not. https://www.learner.org/interactives/periodic/bonding/

There are two videos that may be of help, too. The one at the top of this column (How Atoms Bond Video and Resources) and another one in the Atoms section to the right. The last link under that category is another video.

TUESDAY: In class today we are going to go over the review sheet in detail. Make sure you ask any questions!!

WEDNESDAY: Test on ionic bonding.

THURSDAY: Today you will get your test back and we will go over it. Then you are going to use the following website to introduce covalent bonding. https://www.simbucket.com/simulation/436/ There is a notes-sheet that goes along with the website that you will need to complete as you work through the simulation. If you do not finish during class, it is for homework.

FRIDAY: Today we are going to practice using lewis dot structures to demonstrate covalent bonding.

(11/26 - 11/30)

MONDAY: No School

TUESDAY: The students will get their tests back today that covered the periodic table along with (non)metal(oids). Then we will take notes on atomic bonding. This includes terms formula, subscript, and coefficient.

WEDNESDAY: We will review the 4 "Big" questions class was finished with yesterday.

THURSDAY: We will be taking notes today about ionic bonding. This includes the difference between cations and anions. The students will review the number of valence electrons in each group and we will go over oxidation numbers so the students can see how the ionic charge relates to the number of electrons that have been lost or gained.

FRIDAY: Today we are going to complete ion charts to show how the oxidation number relates to the number of protons and electrons the ion has. Then, we are going to try the criss cross method of creating ionic formulas. If we don't finish it will be homework...that will probably take less than 5 minutes!

(10/1 - 10/5)

MONDAY: Students were not made aware of the additional kahoots to study on Friday. Since I was not here to clarify what worksheets and materials to study the test will be tomorrow. STUDY! PS.M.1

TUESDAY: Test on kinetic theory, plasma, states of matter, and phase changes. PS.M.1

WEDNESDAY: Today we will go over yesterday's test and begin our notes on the Classification of Matter. We will cover pure substances and compounds today. PS.M.1

THURSDAY: Today we will review pure substances and compounds and introduce mixtures. In addition to drawing them, we will use blocks to represent the differences and practice building them. PS.M.1

FRIDAY: Today you got a worksheet to practice identifying pure substances vs. mixtures and homogeneous vs. heterogeneous mixtures. The graphic organizer you got for it today is very important in helping you to remember how they are separated. Study it!

(9/24-9/28)

MONDAY: Today we will check and go over the answers for the assignment from Friday and start the phase change (solid to gas) lab. Please make sure to turn in any missing lab safety contracts so you can participate. PS.M.1, PS.EW.4

TUESDAY: The full lab will take place today now that you know how to start the process. Please be diligent in following directions and collecting data. PS.M.1, PS.EW.4

WEDNESDAY: Today you have two assignments to complete - you will get to start both in class. First, I will show you how to graph your data from the lab. Then, you will be given some review questions on illuminate and we will go over how to access those. These are both due for tomorrow for a grade.

THURSDAY: UPDATE TO WHAT IS WRITTEN BELOW: I was not planning on being out today. So, you still need to go into illuminate to see what you missed and study the correct answers. I am not sure if your chrome books will work with Java or not, so I do not know if you can use the first resource or not. You need to continue to review phases, so I want you to play kahoot with up to a total of 4 people including you. Use one person's chrome book to access the kahoot and use for the question portion (like I would do in class) and use your phones to take the quiz. You need to take a screen shot or photo of your scores (with your real names obviously) and email to me today. Then, watch the plasma TV video and then use at least one of the other resources on the right to study. I don't know if I will be here tomorrow, but study the resources you have!!

Today you will be able to access your answers on illuminate and study the correct answers. We will also go over other review questions in class. This is a good simulation to observe the changes in the motion of the particles in solids, liquids, and gases. https://learn.concord.org/resources/153/phase-change It does use Java, so you might need to update or download your software. Please notice that there are a multitude of phase change resources listed on the right side of the page. You should use these to help you study. Find one that works for you/helps you and study!!! Here is a good Kahoot for you to practice. There are two questions about viscosity, which we haven't covered and is not on the test, but you've learned all of the other ones. https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/69c6e5db-4c82-4703-bc58-f9fe16c3d406

FRIDAY: More Kahooting today! Try these and also review the illuminate questions.

Test on Kinetic theory, SLG, plasma, and phase changes. PS.M.1, PS.EW.4

(9/17-9/21)

MONDAY: We will go over your measurement quizzes from Friday. Then we are going to refer to page 1016 in your text to practice making an outline to help with note taking.

TUESDAY: I will have several handouts today. The first will have notes on the kinetic theory of matter, to which we will add a couple of notes. It also has your notes about the basic facts of solids, liquids, and gases. Then we will work through phase change graphs together so you will understand how the kinetic and potential energies changes during the phase change. You will practice by answering questions about the changes that occur when heat is being added.

WEDNESDAY: We will go over the questions from the heat being added worksheet first. The heat being removed side is for homework tonight. Then, we are going to use Boardworks Particles in Action power point to review S,L,G properties and sort them by their characteristics. Then, you will use page 436 in the text to outline the plasma section. You need to figure out how these two paragraphs should be outlined. There aren't any wrong answers, but you need to concentrate on including important concepts.

THURSDAY: I will check your exothermic homework and we will go over the correct answers. Then you are going to learn how to access the graphing software for the vernier data collectors. You will practice using the motion detector and temperature probe.

FRIDAY:Today, to help develop an understanding of the phase change process, you will use a word bank to complete a description of the process that is taking place for endothermic phase changes. You will then re-write the description for a exothermic reaction and diagram the phase changes in the one graph form. This is due on Monday for a grade.

(9/10-9/14)

MONDAY: Today we will finish the mass worksheet from Friday and then you will use the triple beam balances to find materials in the classroom that have specific masses. This needs to be completed by the end of the period.

TUESDAY: Today we will do the volume practice sheet that corresponds with the notes you took last Friday. Then we will play my metric system kahoot to review the concepts of length, mass, and volume. Don't forget to study for your lab safety test tomorrow! Standard: PS.M.1

WEDNESDAY: Lab Safety quiz first! Then we are going to discuss density, which involves mass and volume. We will watch the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzdRGOuNIFg and do the two problems at the end for practice.

This is a link to the metric kahoot for you to study https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/4e861c24-0409-448e-8168-d8393ee34eac

    • period 7 = tape

    • period 9 = glue sticks

THURSDAY: Today you will work on your student survey, the scavenger hunt that involves classroom supplies and information in the syllabus, and make flash cards with the word parts that you will find helpful in Biology. Please make sure that the word parts are on one side of the flash cards and that the meaning and sample word are on the other side of the card. You NEED to study these daily until the test. I want the student survey and scavenger hunt done for tomorrow. The syllabus signature page and supplies can be turned in by next Wednesday. (7TH AND 9TH PERIOD WILL BE SLIGHTLY BEHIND DUE TO THE PEP RALLY)

FRIDAY: Today you will have class time to make sure the survey and scavenger hunt are finished. We will go over the scavenger hunt and discuss the syllabus during class. Any remaining time can be used to work on your flash cards. THESE ARE DUE WHEN YOU WALK IN ON MONDAY!
