Unit 2 Class Activity Information, Labs, and Demo Videos
These should be used when you need a link during class for an activity or there are also files specific for when you are absent on the day of a demo or a lab to use to catch up. If you were present in class but you want/need to see the lab or demo again you can also use the absent student links.
Lesson 1:
Lesson 1 Slide Deck - Search for Life (this is the absent student version of the slides we used in class over the lesson)
Lesson 2A:
Lesson 2 Slide Deck - some of this is used with 2A, some 2B, and some with 2C. See the calendar for which slides were used which day(s).
Elements of Life Video (3mins)
Station Readings:
Molecule/Ions Cards for Table 1 (for absent students)
Element Information Cards for Table 2 (everyone uses this during Lesson 2A)
Lesson 2B:
Identification of Matter Activity Pictures
(for students who do not finish the stations in class or for for absent students to complete the table on the second page of this lesson)
Identification of Matter Definitions and Drawings
(for absent students to complete the definitions and drawings on the first page of this lesson)
Lesson 2C:
How to Find a Living Planet Video (this is also linked in the Lesson 2 slide deck, watch from 0-5:14mins)
Lesson 3:
In-Class Mineral Oil Demo Links:
Station 1 Demo - Mineral Oil Solubility (with Table Salt and Sugar)
Station 2 Demo - Mineral Oil Conductivity
Station 5 Demo - Mineral Oil Surface Tension
Also see "Drops of Water on a Penny" Video for an up-close look at a possible maximum drops you can reach
Absent Student Links:
Absent Student Lesson 3 Stations Video
Here is the clip the stations video tells you to view as part of Station 5:
Lesson 3 Station Cards (Read this document to see the directions for each station and you NEED it for the diagrams at Station 3 and 4 as they are not in the absent student video)
Lesson 4A:
Lesson 4 Slide Deck- some of this is used with 4A and some with 4B. See the calendar for which slides were used which day(s).
In-Class Teacher Demo of Sticky Tape Set-up - this is a video shown in class for the set-up of the lab. It is also in the absent student video so if you are absent skip this.
Sticky Tape Lab Video (for absent students)
Lesson 4B:
Lesson 5:
Salt Investigation Lab (everyone uses this during Lesson 5)
Lesson 6A:
Element Cards (for absent students)
Salt Models (for absent students)
Periodic Table with Lewis Dot Notations (for absent students, use with #8 and everyone can also use anywhere else it helps you)
Build an Atom PhET Simulation (everyone use with #9 and anywhere else it helps you)
Lesson 6B:
Periodic Table with EXTRA information on it (for absent students or anyone who loses their first periodic table, we cover the information on here across multiple days)
Lesson 6C:
Empirical Formula Lab Video (for absent students)
Calculations as a Class for the Empirical Formula Lab (for absent students)
How Big Is A Mole Video (for absent students, you will need it for part of the video above this when completing the lab calculations)
Periodic Table showing: Lewis Dots, Charges, Metals and Nonmetals (for absent students, we had a class discussion about how to find Lewis Dot Structures, Ion Charges, and if an atom is a Metal or a Nonmetal based on it's position on the periodic table. I wrote the information onto this picture, see me if you have questions.)
Lesson 7A and 7B:
HERE is a video of me explaining slides 5-11 of this slide deck which answers some of the questions we usually do together in class on the Lesson 7A worksheet for absent students or anyone who needs to go through the information again
Ionic/Empirical Formula Writing Slide Deck
HERE is a video of me explaining this slide deck and how to find ionic formulas without drawing a model or doing a lab for absent students or anyone who needs to go through the information again
Covalent Bonding Model Example (for absent students, this was done in class before starting Lesson 7B)
HERE is a video of me explaining and creating the model instead of you just reading about it if you would find that more helpful
Lesson 8A:
Concord Water Polarity Simulation
(everyone uses starting at #4, make sure to follow the directions for how to use this that are listed before question #4 on the handout!)
3D Water Molecules Kit - Water Only Video (for absent students only)
READING Assignment for #16 and beyond
(everyone reads in their textbook or via this link)
Dissolving Salt into Water Interactive Video (everyone uses starting at #25)
Lesson 8B:
How to Write Covalent Formulas from the Compound Name (absent students or anyone who needs more help with this lesson)
Finding Bond Type by Electronegativity Difference (absent students or anyone who needs more help with this lesson)
Example: Covalent Formula & Polarity (for absent students, we cover this example one day in class)
Lesson 8C:
"Bite the Bubble" Gum Lab Data (for absent students)
Lesson 8D:
Lesson 9:
Lesson 10:
Lesson 11 and 12:
No additional resources needed
Unit 2 Resource Materials
These are videos and other resources we used in the lessons. They are in the calendar on the day we used them as well.
Light Spectra Concept Builder (after Lesson 2A)
The Electromagnetic Spectrum Level ONLY - have the EMR Diagram from the Unit 2, Lesson 1 notes out as you are working on the questions.
Subatomic Particles Concept Builder (after Lesson 6A)
Both Apprentice and Master levels will be good for this class for this concept builder. Ignore the numbers in the "Symbol" column, that is called A-X-Z notation and we are not currently going to cover that. Launch the concept builder and follow the prompts to answer the questions and check your answers. Remember they have a "help" section that will review information relating to the concept builder for you as well.
The Octet Rule (after Lesson 8) - (short video, about 4 mins)
This video does a brief overview of the octet rule and how it applies to both ionic and covalent bonding, one of its main exceptions (hydrogen), as well as why atoms bond in general.
