Hello everyone!
First and foremost a few announcements:
1) WELCOME to all the new students joining our class
2) Shoutout to Ms. Hill-Norman for being an out-of-this-world support and in-class teacher’s aid!
Today we had a slightly modified day. Instead of doing strictly vocabulary-based information, we added in a component where we began differentiating between content for this week (chemical properties & changes) and content from last week (physical properties & changes). This will allow us to better see the “big picture“.
Our class prezi can be found here: http://prezi.com/impyyh4ezs7u/chemical-properties-chemical-changes/
Today we completed notes on chemical properties & chemical changes. The notes can be found here: Chemical Properties & Changes Notes
A visual of the completed notes is below:
Afterwards, we read an in-depth booklet and completed critical thinking review questions about chemical properties & chemical changes.
That reading can be found here (NOTE, this is meant to be folded and read as a booklet, so pay attention to the pages below) : Chemical Properties & Changes Booklet
The corresponding questions can be found here: Chemical Properties & Changes Review Questions
Don’t forget! Our homework assignment is DUE TUESDAY 10/1! It can be found here: Ways Matter Can Change Worksheet (it is 2/page)
Tomorrow we will continue practicing with properties & changes of matter. Wednesday we will do a HUGE review for our CFA #1 (Common Formative Assessment) on 8.P.1 (all about matter).
Our CFA#1 will be on Thursday 10/3! Study, study study!
Have a wonderful evening!
