Science Classroom Connection

Students are to complete pages 47-49 in their Science Notebook Reading Guide. This topic will reinforce the definition and components of an atom, the work with the cathode ray experiments, Rutherford’s model of the atom, and a summary of the subatomic particles’ characteristics.

We will complete answering and correcting our Science Notebook Reading Guide  pages 44-46, and then we will reinforce the early ideas about the atom that were put forth by the Greek philosophers, Democritus, Aristotle, and Dalton!

Students will read about the early ideas about the structure of the atom that were put forth by several Greek philosophers/scientists, and they include Democritus, Aristotle, and Dalton. As each student read his/her material, each student needs to complete their Science Notebook Reading Guide pages 44-46 to assist each student in understanding what each is reading about as each is taking notes on the subject matter.

Students will be evaluated upon the states of matter, physical and chemical properties of matter, physical and chemical changes, types of mixtures, methods of mixture separation, an overview of the organization of the Periodic table of the Elements, and how all compounds obey the laws of definite and multiple proportions.

Students are to complete the assigned questions on Chapter 4 pages 94-96, namely, #’s: 31, 32, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 47, 48, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58, 64, 69, 72, 73, 75, 76, and 77!

We will answer and correct our study guide on Section 3.4. Then we will commence with our Chapter 4 review for the chapter test on Wednesday of next week!
