Science Classroom Connection

Students are to practice on PAGE 1 on balancing word equations as students will again take part in participating in class by demonstrating their comprehension skills of this process on the Promethean board.

Students are to continue balancing the remaining chemical equations that were assigned today in class on their handout. If you still find difficulty balancing these equations, I suggest that you read Section 9.1 for steps for balancing chemical reactions/equations. Tomorrow, students will be called upon to come up to the Promethean board and share with the class their comprehension skills on balancing these equations.

For those who are still have not mastered the naming and writing chemical formulas, I suggest that you go online, google several worksheet examples, and practice further since these should have been mastered during the first semester as we have reviewed them for the past two days in class as well.

As we embark upon Chemistry 2, we will elaborate and practice upon the law of conservation of matter in terms of balancing chemical reactions into chemical equations. We will do several of them on the Promethean board as several students will participate in such a feat.

Students need to complete their review sheets on writing formulas and naming ionic compounds if they still feel the need to practice. Tomorrow we will do more as we will reinforce the writing formulas and naming molecular compounds as practice.

Students in the 4th hour will be evaluated on January 24, 2013 at 9:00-10:30.

Note: Bring your textbook to turn in, two #2 pencils, 3 X 5 card notes, and the Periodic Table of the Elements.
