Chemistry with Mr. Goff

We have been working on analyzing patterns and explaining the trends we are finding in the periodic table. The individual assessment will be on Friday.

If you need to print extra copies of some of the worksheets in the packet, here is a link to a copy (only accessible if you have a school account).

Here is a link to the full article about the periodic table that we read an excerpt from.

Here are some videos that are worth watching for this new unit:

 

The first page will be your title page. Please include the following:

Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy, and heat is the transfer of energy.
The number of protons (atomic number) identifies an element.

1. New composition notebooks (either 80 or 100 sheets is fine) need to be brought to class on Wednesday, February 6th.

2. I have started a Remind for class. Text @9b8649k to 81010 or sign up for Chemistry 2018 notifications, please visit
https://www.remind.com/join/9b8649k

3. I have started Snapchat and instagram accounts for the class (search for GoffsClass on either app). These are not required for class, and I will not be following back/friending anyone at this time. These are just for sending announcements or chemistry tidbits out to where I know your eyes spend time. I am open to suggestions for either of these accounts.

This document is only available on your Dearborn Schools account. I will not grant other access permission.

High Scores! 

I will update this periodically. You will need to use your school email account to access this document.

Here is the app with the chemistry game that I mentioned on the Friday before break: https://www.usarmystars.com/

You can add your high scores and any comments you have on this Google Form.

As of today, Mr. Goff’s high score is 47,150.

1. Think about what might happen if you ate a wintergreen candy in the dark. Write a prediction using the following sentence stem:
   1. One thing that might happen is…  
2. Face a mirror or another person to watch the candy in your mouth as you quickly chew the candy with an open mouth, trying not to let the candy get wet.
3. Describe what you see.
4. Bonus: Do you think this would work for any lifesaver? Why or Why not?

Be prepared to discuss on Monday.

For creating the visualization of a heating curve, please use data taken from this video:

Essential Components:

• Data graphed with an appropriate style (scatter, line, bar, pie)
• Data graphed with an appropriate scale
• 3 LOL diagrams to show changes, with appropriate labels.
• 6 particle models to show changes, with appropriate labels.
• Written descriptions, including at least 3 sentences with at least 1 “If…then…” sentence stem.

To be submitted:

1. Excel document with data and graph (submitted through Google Classroom)
2. Visualization (either on a Google doc/slides/sheet, or a poster)

Due Friday before class (or at the start of class for physical posters).
