Today students did a warm up analyzing an incorrect drawing of a double replacement reaction. We then reviewed the answers to our homework, and the rest of the period students used to ask questions, work on their labs, study, or PRACTICE ON THIS PRESENTATION!

HW: Study!

Today students turned in their Single Replacement Lab and we did a warm up practicing predicting double replacement reactions and drawing soluble and insoluble ionic compounds. Students then worked on their Double Replacement Lab (See Ms. Thatcher for a copy) and their homework (Predicting Chemical Reactions WS).

HW: Predicting Chemical Reactions WS

Today students worked on a warm up of predicting if a double replacement reaction will occur before we checked the answers to our homework (EVENS ONLY Double Replacement Predictions WS). Student then began visualizing what it means for an ionic compound to be soluble vs. insoluble and connecting this to why no reaction occurs if all reactants and products are aqueous! Student used the remainder of class to work on their Double Replacement Pre-Lab (see Ms. Thatcher for a copy) or finishing up their Single Replacement Lab.

Start studying for our Unit 5 Test this Friday using your Unit 5 Learning Targets!

HW: Double Replacement Pre-Lab & Single Replacement Lab

Today with only 30 minute class periods (AGAIN!), we did not warm up and students quickly checked their answers to their homework (Single Replacement Predictions WS) as Ms. Thatcher checked it off. Students were then introduced to their solutbility chart on their chemistry reference, and we practiced determining the phases of ionic compounds on the top of our homework (Double Replacement Predictions WS). Then Ms. Thatcher showed how to predict a double replacement reaction! If a solid ionic compound forms-REACTION! If no solid ionic compound forms- NO REACTION!

HW: EVENS ONLY Double Replacement Predictions WS

Today wtih only 30 minute classes, students quickly did our warm up verbally before they took their short quiz on balancing and classifying reactions. We then reviewed out homework (Single Replacement Predictions WS (EVENS ONLY!)), and student got the remainder of the class to finish their homework (Single Replacement Predictions WS (ODDS TOO!)

HW: FINISH Single Replacement Predictions WS (ODDS TOO!)

Today students did a warm up classifying reactions before we checked our homework (Balancing & Classifying Reactions WS (Classify the FRONT only). Ms. Thatcher stamped off the Single Replacement Reaction Pre-lab then reviewed the questions. Students were introduced to the lab and got to work. As students were waiting for the reaction to take place, they worked on the BACK SIDE of Balancing & Classifying Reactions WS with their lab group. After students finished collecting data, we took notes on our chemistry reference sheet as Ms. Thatcher introduced the Activity Series and how we can use it to predict if a single replacement reaction will occur.

Finally, the last 10 minutes Ms. Thatcher discussed science courses with the class using the presentation below. Please come by during nest or before/after school if you have any questions as to what science course would be best for you next year!

HW: Single Replacement Predictions WS (EVENS ONLY!)

Today students checked their answers to their homework, and we got right back into our Types of Reaction Notes and then taped them into our notebooks. If time allowed, students worked on their homework (see below)

For periods 4-7, Ms. Thatcher was absent (gone at a chemistry training), and Mr. Lynn demonstrated the reactions. If absent, please look at Friday & Monday's presentation to finish up notes

HW: Balancing & Classifying Reactions WS (Classify the FRONT only) & Single Replacement Reaction Pre-Lab Questions (see Ms. Thatcher for a copy)

Today we did a warm up of common mistakes students make while writing and balancing reactions. We then took time to review the homework (Balancing Equations WS #1). Then Ms. Thatcher began Types of Reaction Notes while demoing each reaction for the class before students practiced finishing a reaction.

HW: Balancing & Classifying Reactions WS (Balance the front side only)

Today we did a verbal warm up, which lead us into discussing our homework (Rearranging Atoms Activity). Ms. Thatcher answered questions before students turned their homework in. Students then took brief notes on how to balance equations, before Ms. Thatcher did some examples on their homework (Balancing Equations WS #1). The remainder of class students worked on their homework with their table groups, asking questions along the way.

HW: Balancing Equations WS #1

Today students began class with the District Common Assessment which took about 50 minutes. Then we began Unit 5- Chemical Reactions by taking minimal notes (in presentation), then working on the Rearranging Atoms Activity. Ms. Thatcher did one example as a class, and students were able to use

HW: Finish Rearranging Atoms Activity.
