It is our second week on remote learning already.  It is unreal the speed of events that have happened due to the pandemic, from schools closing to the executive order for shutting down the whole State.  I understand the challenges many of you are facing; especially for those who have been working or taking the…

March 16: Starting remote learning

Good morning and welcome to our first remote learning adventure! I am so excited for this new learning opportunity. I will be posting weekly assignment basednon the Standards Alignments. The focus revolves around the energy involved in chemical reactions and the law of conservation of mass. In order to dig deep into this concept, we…

Guiding question: what makes atoms stick together? In today’s activity, students explored the different types of physical connections that hold objects together. They explored using toothpicks, tape, rubber band, and magnets. Then, they compared their physical model to the forces that hold potassium and chlorine together. we will be taking a summative assessment on lesson…

Students continued to model evidence of a chemical reaction based on both experiments shown in class last week (refer to previous posts). List of evidence is a temperature drop, bubbles formation, or color change. Essential components  Rubric: System A (inside)  System B (outside) Infographics (table/graph) Interactions (arrows) Explain the mechanism   ●  Different​ ​types​ ​of​ ​substances​…

G.Q: What other examples have you observed where mixing things of the same temperature together results in similar changes to experiment 1? Students discussed few other examples which led to experiment 2. Experiment 2: mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 spoon of citric acid. Record observations. Complete CER
