AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP

We reviewed the focus calendar for this two week period.

Students submitted and reviewed HL 1.

Students were given a short study period, and then took the QSBA 2 exam.

SMALL GROUP/INDEPENDENT PRACTICE/DI
Students who compete work early should go to 
Khan Academy - chemical reactions and stoichiometry - balancing chemical reactions

HOTS: 
-Explain how the Law of Conservation of Mass relates to a balanced equation.
-Does the Big Bang Theory contradict the Law of Conservation of Mass? Explain your reasoning.


EXIT STRATEGY: Quick write - In notebook, write to explain the difference in naming molecular and ionic compounds.
