Personal learning time - Science in the real world essay
Your task is to write a short essay on Google Docs that explains where some of these science concepts are in everyday life. Your essay will explain and provide examples are for Solutions, Solubility, and Saturation. It must contain the words Solute, Solvent, Mixture, Solubility, Saturated, and Density. The writing must be at least 1 page and a maximum of 3 pages. You will have 1 day next week to work on the essay in class. This will be due on Friday, December 8th.

IN: How are solubility and solution different?
Answer: Solubility is a property or characteristic of a substance (How easily a substance dissolves)
Solution is a state (Homogeneous mixture)
Demo: Presenting your anchor activity project. Modeling what is expected.
Classwork: Begin lab 13.1

Anchor Activity Research days - Students will have time to create a topic paragraph, and begin their research on their selected object for the anchor activity.
Definitions:
A Saturated solution cannot hold any more solute a certain temperature.
A Super-saturated solution contains more solute than it can normally dissolve.
Tuesday and Wednesday Nov. 7th to 9th
Tuesday and Wednesday Nov. 7th to 9th
MIxture - made of two or more types of atoms that are NOT Chemically combined together (Unique Chemical and Physical Characteristics)
Heterogeneous -Visibly different
Homogeneous - Visibly similar
Solution - a homogeneous mixture that combines a Solute and a Solvent.
A solution with a small amount of Solute is a Dilute Solution
A solution with a large amount of Solute is a Concentrated Solution.
High Solubility - The solute dissolves quickly and easily
vs.
Low Solubility - The solute does not dissolve easily

Group assignments for Anchor activity.
Personal Learning Time
Wednesday to Friday Nov. 1st - 3rd
Wednesday to Friday Nov. 1st - 3rd
- Lab work 11.1
Pure Substance - Matter that has definite chemical and physical properties
Mixture - Matter that contains 2 or more substances that differ in chemical and physical properties.
- Heterogeneous- Visibly different substances (sand, rocks, oil and water)
- Homogeneous- Uniform (same) appearance (milk, ice tea, concrete)
Anchor Activity-Why do we make things the way we do?
We will be completing this activity in the next month. For this project you will be selecting a manufactured object and research the question "What is it made from and why?"
1) Explain the function of the object chosen
2) Identify the major materials that make up the object
3) Identify the properties of materials that make them suitable for use in the context of the function of the object
4) Identify the raw materials (and their origins) that make up one of the materials within the object
5) Outline the refining or processing of the raw materials that make them usable in the object
6) Conduct research by using books, internet, interviews, and other resources
7) Design and create an exhibit
8) Plan and give a 3 - 5 minute oral presentation (using suitable visual aids and other techniques) about one of the materials used to make the object

Knowledge Checklist - October 18th
Each of these pieces of knowledge can be found on-line. Please find the information and record in neatly in your science notebook. You will be checked for completion of the tasks on Friday.
- Find a line graph on-line. Draw a graph, label all the parts of a graph, and write two sentences describing how to choose the scale for the x and y axis.
- Search for Temperature vs. Heat. Define Temperature and Heat.
- Search and find a simple Phase Change Diagram. Draw and label the diagram. Why are there parts of the graph where the temperature is stable even though energy is being added?
- Go to this website: https://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/whatismatter.html . Take notes in your notebook on the reading.
- Search for the Law of Conservation of Mass. Read, watch videos, and work to understand this concept. Define the Law of the Conservation of Mass.Why are there parts of the graph where the temperature is stable even though energy is being added?
