Students submitted and reviewed HL 14. They also submitted the reading strategy handout.
Students were shown a model Lithium and reviewed the necessary requirements of the atomic model project.
Students received the directions for the science fair project, to be completed and submitted on or before December 5. You can find the directions at the top of this blog.
Students reviewed reliability of evidence.
Students also began studying the atomic structure by watching a BrainPop movie on atomic models. To see the movie, click the link for, BrainPop and scroll down to the movie Atomic Model.
Students broke into small groups to review scientific investigations/experimental design.
Home learning 15 is read pages 314-323 in the text, completing all portions, and answering the questions for Interactive Art Periodic Table on a correctly headed sheet of loose leaf paper.
Students began notes on atoms, but did not complete them due to lack of time.
Students completed the laboratory write up for What are solids, liquids, and gases?
