NGSSS: SC.912.P.8.7; MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1; LAFS.910.WHST.1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:

-explain the meaning of a chemical equation.

-categorize the different types of reactions by looking at basic patterns patterns of chemical equations.

-determine correct counting of atoms and correct placement of coefficients when balancing equations.

-apply the law of conservation of mass in balancing chemical reactions.

-continue quarterly project how does pH affect plant growth.

BELL RINGER: Read the lab handout and identify any areas where safety precautions should be taken.

VOCABULARY: aqueous, chemical equation, coefficient, combustion reaction, decomposition reaction, double replacement (displacement) reaction, Law of Conservation of Matter, precipitate, product, reactant, reaction, single replacement (displacement) reaction, synthesis reaction, yield

HOME LEARNING: work on report

AGENDA

WHOLE GROUP

We reviewed class correlations and tie-ins to the focus calendar.

Students pre-read the lab sheet to determine any necessary safety precautions.

Students then worked together to complete the lab activity.

Any remaining time was spent working on their chemical reaction types reports. You can find the details for the report, which is due on February 5, below.

These are the handouts to help you with your report. Be sure to follow directions to avoid losing points.

SMALL GROUP/INDEPENDENT PRACTICE/DI

Students who compete work early should go to 

70% or higher on pre-test Khan’s academy chemical reactions

less than 70% on pre-test- teacher intervention

HOTS: 

-Which types of bonds do you think would be the most exothermic? Endothermic? Why?

-Could a chemical reaction be more than one type at the same time? Why or why not?

EXIT STRATEGY: Three things I learned: two things I found interesting: I question I still have.

AGENDA

WHOLE GROUP

We reviewed the correlations and tie-ins to the focus calendar.

The bell ringer was to compete a Kahoot pretest on types of reactions form some and to work on a Frayer model vocabulary word map for other classes.

WE then watched a short video to introduce the topic of types of chemical reactions. You can watch the video below.

Watch the video to learn about four of the types of chemical reactions.

Students then took notes on describing chemical reactions. You can watch the slide presentation in movie form below.

This is the video form of the notes. Record all that is in red.

You may prefer to see the slide show instead. Click the link Describing Chemical Reactions to see the actual slides.

Students visited the garden to gather data.

Students then received the explanation for the biology report on cellular organelles. You can find the explanation below. Reports are due in class by February 5.

Use these handouts to write your Children's book on Types of Chemical Reactions.

Friday, 15 throughTuesday, 26 January, 2016

Due to the excessive number of absences, exams scheduling, and other  school wide activities, we did not begin a new topic, but worked on individual areas in need of improvement. Students who have not completed their Khan Academy assignments MUST have them done by Wednesday, 21 January. Remember, please review any topics that you have not been successful in, as indicated in our data chat.

We will begin a new topic during the week of January 26. We will also be taking the QSBA2 exam during the first weeks of February, so be sure to review ALL of the second grading period information!
