ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How are safety and measurements used in the chemistry lab?
RELEVANCE: How can I avoid injury in lab?
NGSSS: SC.912.N.1.1
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to:
-Explain why knowledge of chemistry is central to other scientific endeavors.
-Describe different areas of chemistry.
BELL RINGER- Watch the video 5 branches of chemistry and complete the table in the handout. (see dropbox studying the five types of chemistry music video)
VOCABULARY: matter, chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry
HOME LEARNING: update notebook
AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
We reviewed home learning 2 on lab safety.
We watched a video on the five branches of chemistry and students completed the handout from last class (Areas of Study in Chemistry - see below).
You may also find the following video helpful in completing the information.
Students completed the first Cornell notes section of their notebook, including questions and summary, and placing all appropriate handouts into the notebook. See me if you have questions.
We then reviewed safety in the science lab by watching the video Zombie College. Since the video is too large to place here, you can watch the video by clicking the link to the following site: Zombie College: Five Rules of Lab Safety
Students then took a Lab Safety quiz on Kahoot.it. Classes that did not complete the quiz today will do so next class meeting.
Students then familiarized themselves with measurements in the science lab by measuring mass, volume, length, pH, and temperature. Those classes that did not complete the activity will do so next class session.
