*** CRTs are April 30-May 3. If you get a 70% on the CRT, you will pass chemistry. The CRTs count as a test grade regardless of the grade earned.
Practice CRT questions: go to http://awells.myutips.org. Do the practice test by April 16 at 7am for extra credit. Take the full practice CRT and do simple login providing your class period next to your last name. It is worth up to 30pts, based on the percentage of questions you get correct.

at the very bottom of this page is an attachment for a template for Cornell Notes as well as a rubric.
First Quarter
**Make ups for excused absences for labs. Do not forget to cite your sources. Not citing sources will result in a grade of 0. Also, the citing does not count in the length of the report. The reports should be typed and double spaced, size 12 Times New Roman font. Please make sure to write the replacement lab title at the top of the report when you hand it in. You must have them in within one calendar week of the original lab date. The following are the assignments:
1. Predicting Properties of Mystery Elements--write a 1 page paper on Mendeleev and his creation of the periodic table
2. Flame lab--write a 1.5 page paper on emission spectrums and how valence electrons change energy levels to produce light.
3. Bean Isotope Lab--write a 3 page paper on isoptopes, what they are, how they were discovered, and how the average atomic mass of an element is calculated
4. Airplane lab--Do the lab at home as posted online and turn that in for credit. Make sure you copy the procedure neatly by hand and fill it in as you do the lab.
5. Penny Lab--write a 2 page paper on density, what it is, how it is calculated, and how the density of pennies have changed over the decades
6. Candle lab--write a 2 page paper on the importance of observations in the world of science, what types of observations we can make, and what we learn from making observations
7. Castle Mendeleev-do the Castle Mendeleev activity under Chapter 3
8. Demo Lab (in class from Chapter 4)-write a 2 page report comparing and contrasting ionic and covalent compounds and how their properties differ.
Second Quarter
**Make ups for excused absences for labs. Do not forget to cite your sources. Not citing sources will result in a grade of 0. Also, the citing does not count in the length of the report. The reports should be typed and double spaced, size 12 Times New Roman font. Please make sure to write the replacement lab title at the top of the report when you hand it in. You must have them in within one calendar week of the original lab date. The following are the assignments:
1. Ionic vs Covalent--answer the questions and fill out the chart on the lab sheets that are posted under Chapter 5 under the title "Ionic vs Covalent lab."
2. Evidence of a Chemical Reaction Lab Report--do the home make up lab for this lab located under Chapter 6. Be sure to write the lab report (the set up for the lab report is also under Chapter 6)
3. Discover Engineering--see Chapter 7 link.
4. Taking Aim at the Atom--do the lab at home. Everything you need will be under Chapter 7 link.
5. Cobalt(II) Chloride Lab--Write a 1 page paper on hydrates and how they change into anhydrous compounds, and how they are formed.
6. Periodic Trends-do the lab at home.
7. Mrs. Claus' Cookie lab-write a 1 page paper on how chemistry is used to solve crimes
8. Reactivity trends-write a 1.5 page paper on the trends of the elements in the periodic table (reactivity of metals, nonmetals, size, etc and ways these trends were discovered.)
Third Quarter
**Make ups for excused absences for labs. Do not forget to cite your sources. Not citing sources will result in a grade of 0. Also, the citing does not count in the length of the report. The reports should be typed and double spaced, size 12 Times New Roman font. Please make sure to write the replacement lab title at the top of the report when you hand it in. You must have them in within one calendar week of the original lab date. The following are the assignments:
1. Candy Lab-write a 2 page essay on polarity of molecules and how they are used in chromatography, such as high pressured liquid chromatography or gas chromatography
2. Molecular Geometry lab--come in and complete the molecular geometry lab for 50% credit
3. Calorimetry Lab-do the in class calorimetry problems (pdf problems) under Chapter 10
4. Balloon lab--write a 2 page paper on the gas laws: Boyle's law, Charles' law, and the combined gas law.
5. Chalk lab--do the mole conversion problems located under the Chapter 12 link
Fourth Quarter
*** CRTs are April 25-28th. If you get a 70% on the CRT, you will pass chemistry. If you get a 90% on the CRT, you will get an A automatically for the fourth quarter. The CRTs count as a test grade regardless of the grade earned.
Practice CRT questions: go to http://awells.myutips.org. Do the practice test by April 25th at 7am for extra credit. Take the full practice CRT and do simple login. You must spend a reasonable amount of time and do the entire test to get the extra credit.
