Chemistry with Mr. Goff

EDIT: Assessment Links

Key words: color code, organization, chemistry

Key words: ionization energy, size of atom

Key words: ions, isotopes

Key words: s, p, d, f, orbitals, blocks

 

Don’t forget that Monday, December 11 will be an assessment to check on your understanding of your research progress so far. This week, you will have a chance to do more research and share your new knowledge with your classmates.

If you need more resources (especially since you probably don’t have access to chemistry texts at home), start with these links:

https://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Book_atoms_3.pdf

https://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Book_atoms_4.pdf

https://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Book_atoms_5.pdf

These are from an online textbook that I have used and I trust (you may recognize the portion of the text about energy…).

The Crash Course series is also a good resource:

Go to the phet Build an Atom simulation by clicking here. Choose the “Atom” activity (it will look like what we saw in class).

You should be able to run this simulation on your phone or a computer.

Make a copy of this google doc to write in and print your answers (you may also just write your answers/notes on notebook paper).

Feel free to explore the simulation outside of the questions. There are also games with this simulation if you are a fan of competition.

Watch this video again.

Continue to fill in your evidence and interpretation table.

Write 2 questions that you still wonder about this video or about atoms.

Write 3 questions (with your answers) that you think would be appropriate for an assessment.

Please submit your plan for December here.

Summative Assessment is here. 

Answer each question carefully. You can only view and submit the form once.

Use algebra to prove the following gas laws:

Combined
Gay-Lussac’s
Charles’s
Boyle’s

Please write out all your steps.

Test is on FRIDAY (November 3).

Please watch this space for new additions.

Google slides with the chem catalysts and other questions from class. 

Data and text from class. 

REVIEW QUESTIONS! – SUBMIT UNTIL YOU GET A PERFECT SCORE

Fill in this google form to tell me what your project is about.

 

Make sure this form is filled out by Monday, October 23.

Here are a few links that may help with what we are discussing in our energy unit.

The text we annotated comes from page 129 of the following text book (its the 11th page of the PDF):

Text on energy

If you would like to hear someone else discuss feeling the transfer of energy (and NOT temperature), watch these videos:

[FOR STUDENTS]

Please use your Dearborn Schools account to open the form below. This form is your pretest for the energy unit, so please observe all test taking procedures (not talking, no phones, no googling).

After you finish your pretest, let Mr. Goff know and he will approve you to work on starting your big project. This is modeled after some things that others are doing in classrooms and in big companies.

Here are a few places where you can read more about the project:

I want you to think of something that you are passionate about. I want you to think of a big question or problem you want to solve. For the start of this project, I want you to THINK BIG!
