Hello everyone,

I want to apologize for my inactivity on the blog this week. It has been a busy one and I have been very on the go!

FOR THE PARENTS

I want to thank the parents that came to conferences Monday, I enjoyed meeting and talking with most of you about your child’s progress in my class! If I was unable to get to you, thank you for showing up and please email me or call me with any questions you may have. If you plan to come to conferences tonight, they go from 3:30-6:30 and I look forward to meeting with you.

FOR THE STUDENTS

Students, here are the links to the 2 YouTube videos we watched in class demonstrating chemical changes happening.

Just like with all chemical reactions, these are not meant for fun and do not attempt to do them without adult permission and supervision.

5 Types of Chemical Reactions

Reaction of Potassium and Water

For those of you who may not have copied down the homework assignment for today:

Homework

On a separate sheet of notebook paper

Page 21 in your text books

Numbers 1-4, 6, 8

Similar to the notes form yesterday, please do this on a separate sheet of notebook paper.  On Thursday, once everyone has their interactive notebooks form conferences, we will glue these pages inside of them.

Enjoy your day!

Oct 20th Section 1.2 Physical Properties Summary

Hey guys,

Just like last section, here is the summary you wrote up in class. I added a few extra bits of information that I felt would be important.

Section 1.2 Summay

Study hard, the quiz is Thursday!

Also, a reminder for today’s homework:

On page 10A in your Interactive Notebooks

Page 15, Numbers 4, 6, and 10

Write out the question and answer in complete sentences.

Hey class,

Here is the homework assignment in case you didn’t write it down in class

On Page 9A of your Interactive Notebooks:

Section Review (Page 15 of you text books)

Numbers 1-3, 5, 7

Write out the questions and answer in complete sentences.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to take a moment to uploads today’s homework worksheet in case you forgot it or were absent. Remember to answer in full sentences and email me with any questions you may have!

As always, enjoy your weekend and especially enjoy your half day!

See you Monday

Students

If you did not finish your lab report today in class make sure you finish it at home today.

Remember that density is an objects mass divided by its volume.

You have to also answer the questions on the back. Any questions, please ask.

Oct 14th Section 1.1 Test Retake

Students,

I was looking over the test retake sign-up sheets today and I noticed that not many people signed up for a retake. I encourage you to view your overall class grade at this point on student connect. If your grade is not something you are happy with, look at your test score and see if it can be improved.

The test was a significant portion of your grade for this marking period, and is the best opportunity to make up missing points in your overall grade.

If you have any questions or you cannot access your student connect, please email me or see me after class tomorrow!

Enjoy your evening!

-Mr. Bailey

Oct 8th Section 1.1 Jeopardy PowerPoint

Here is the PowerPoint that we used for jeopardy in class today to review.

I encourage you to work through it to quiz yourself at home this evening.

See you tomorrow and study hard!

Oct 6th Section 1.1 What is Matter Summary

Hey class,

Remember when you worked hard to summarize our first chapter?

I typed out the important information that you summarized so it is easier for you to read.

This is all of the most important information for Friday’s test, so study hard!

Word Document

Section 1.1 What is Matter?

1. Matter

Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space.

Everything in the Universe you can see is made up of matter.

1. Matter and Volume
2. All matter takes up space.
3. The amount of space something takes up is its volume.
4. Objects that have volume cannot share the same space. An object cannot be in a spot another object is in unless it moves it out.

1. Liquid Volume
2. Liters (L) and milliliters (mL) are units used to most often express the volume of liquids. The volume of any liquid can be expressed in these units.

1. Measuring the Volume of Liquids
2. Graduated cylinders are used to measure the volume of liquids when accuracy is important (like in science class!)
3. The surface of the liquid in the graduated cylinder is curved. This curve is referred to as the meniscus.
4. To measure the volume, you must look at the bottom of the meniscus.

1. Volume of a Regularly Shaped Solid Object
2. The volume of any solid object is expressed in cubic units.
3. Cubic means “having three dimensions.”
4. Cubic Meters (m³) and Cubic Centimeters (cm³) are the most common.
5. The 3 represents the 3 dimensions, or measurements, used to find the volume.
6. For cubes and rectangular prisms, we use the following formula:

Volume=Length x Width x Height

1. Volume of an Irregularly Shaped Solid Object
2. Used for objects that are not “regular” like a cube is.
3. Find the amount of water the object displaces in a graduated cylinder.
4. Fill a graduated cylinder with water. Place the object in the water. See how much the water rose. This is your object’s volume.
5. 1mL=1cm³

1. Matter and Mass
2. All matter has mass.
3. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
4. An object’s mass is the same no matter where it is in the Universe.
5. The only way to change mass is to change the amount of matter it takes to make the object.

1. The Difference between Mass and Weight
2. Mass and Weight are two different things.
3. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force pulling on an object.
4. The more mass an object has, the higher the objects weight will be.
5. An objects weight can change, depending on the gravitational pull on the object.
6. An object would weigh less on the moon because the moon has less gravitational pull than the Earth.
7. Table on Page 7 gives more details

1. Measuring Mass and Weight
2. The SI unit for mass is the Kilogram (kg), but mass is often expressed in grams (g) and milligrams (mg)
3. Weight is often expressed in newton (N), but we also commonly use pounds and ounces.
4. One newton is equal to about 100g on Earth.

1. Inertia
2. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
3. An object not moving will continue to not move until something causes it to move.
4. And object that is moving will keep moving until something tries to slow it down.

1. Mass: The Measure of Inertia
2. An object that has a large mass is harder to get moving and harder to get to stop moving.
3. An object with a larger mass has a greater inertia.

Happy October Everyone!

Students, here is a copy of your homework assignment in case you forgot what it was.

Homework

On page 4B of your Interactive Notebooks

Questions 1-2 on page 9 of your text books under “Using Key Terms”

Please write out the whole question and then your answer. Answers should be written in complete sentences.

I had to loan my book to a student, so if you forgot your book at school I cannot help with what the questions were exactly. However, I can suggest that you phone a friend and see if they can give you a hand!

Enjoy your evening and I will see you tomorrow.
