This is the write-up for the lab.


Students will be able to:
identify characteristics of chemical changes of matter.
-recognize examples of chemical changes.
-record observations of physical and chemical changes of matter.

Students completed the following bell ringer:


Sascha drops some of her ice cream sundae on a hot sidewalk. Which of the following correctly describes what happens next?

A. The temperature of the sidewalk and the ice cream both remain unchanged.
B. The temperature of the ice cream increases as it sends cold into the sidewalk.
C. Heat from the sidewalk is transferred to the ice cream, increasing the temperature of the ice cream.
D. Cold from the ice cream is transferred to the sidewalk, decreasing the temperature of the sidewalk.

Students submitted and reviewed HL 6. 

Students then completed the lab Chemical Change in a Bag.  You can find the write up at the top of this blog if you missed the information in class. Remember, this is the FINAL "I DO", where I walk you though the parts of the lab. From now on, you will be responsible for writing up the lab yourself.

Once the lab write-up was completed, students reviewed the concept Energy and Energy Transformations, from 7th grade in small groups. Activities included virtual activities from Glencoe, Discovery Education and SciencePlus, reading from the 7th grade Coach Science book, and/or review of concepts using Pearson's quick labs.

There was no home learning, except HL 6, which will be assigned to Period 1 on Wednesday.
