Science Classroom Connection

Students are to practice on molar conversions, namely, moles to mass and mass to moles. Students are to do page 328, #15 & #16 as well as page 329, #17 & #18.

Since many students chose not to do their homework on particle to mole conversions and vice versa, they are to redo the same homework assignment with a possible of a formative assessment upon their entrance into the classroom.

Students are to practice upon molar conversion by demonstrating their abilities to convert from moles to particles and vice versa. They are to do page 323: 1-4, and page 324: 5 & 6.

Students are to complete writing out the several chemical reactions that they observed in the lab today. This assignment is due at the beginning of our next class meeting since this week, the students are taking the ACT/MME, and our class schedule has been rearranged to accommodate such action.

Students will work within their groups to perform a simple forty-eight different chemical reactions to observe, analyze, and determine their products as well as identify the substances’ states of matter in terms of being an (s), (l), (g), or (aq), i.e., solid, liquid, gas, or aqueous solution respectively. Furthermore, students are to write down the reactions that DO occur and balance them.

This assignment will be due on Friday the 8th of March due to ACT/MME testing on March 5-7, 2013.

On Friday, tomorrow, we will briefly review our test on predicting products of chemical equations. We will then explain aqueous solutions in terms of solutes and solvents and expand upon this topic through our scheduled lab activity for Monday.
