ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is Density?

BENCHMARKS: SC.912.P.8.2

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:

-Contrast mixtures and pure substances.

-Distinguish between elements, compounds, and mixtures.

BELL RINGER - Watch video Can you solve the Boat Puzzle and answer question.

VOCABULARY: chemical change, chemical property, physical change, physical property, homogeneous, heterogeneous, element, compound, mixture, substance, extensive properties, intensive properties, density, mass, volume

HOME LEARNING: Study for exam

AGENDA

Students first set up a new Cornell notes section for Density with the above benchmark and essential question.

For the bell ringer, students watched the video below and either answered the question presented (what happens to the water level if you take a rock from the boat and place it in the water?) or authored their own level 2 question that can be answered from the video.

You can find the video below:

Students then took notes on density, which can be found in movie form below:

Students are to study for an exam on laboratory safety, the scientific method including variables, the properties of matter, and density.

The class that needed to complete their exit ticket on compounds and mixtures did so.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is Density?

BENCHMARKS: SC.912.P.8.2

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:

-Contrast mixtures and pure substances.

-Distinguish between elements, compounds, and mixtures.

BELL RINGER - Watch video Can you solve the Boat Puzzle and answer question.

VOCABULARY: chemical change, chemical property, physical change, physical property, homogeneous, heterogeneous, element, compound, mixture, substance, extensive properties, intensive properties, density, mass, volume

HOME LEARNING: HL 4 Density    HL 5 Density

These pages are HL 4. Place your answers on this sheet and I will copy.

This is HL 5. Write directly on the page and I will copy for you.

AGENDA

WHOLE GROUP

Students reviewed HL 4 and 4 as their bell ringer.

Students finalized the handouts and information for topic 3 in their notebook, including questions and summary.

Students then put together the remaining pages in their notebook, which consisted of pages:

5: the log to record scores on major District exams, for each benchmark.

6: individual independent assignment log

7: year at a glance

8: major projects/papers for the year

a: Costa's leveled questions for the left hand column of the Cornell notes.

b. examples of quality questions for the left hand column

c and d: standards that will be tested during the 8th grade Science FCAT. This includes all the big ideas taught in 8th grade and the     annually accessed standards from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade that will be included on the test.

inside back cover: contact information/password log

Students spent the remainder of the period in individual remediation on past topics.

Classes that needed to complete the exit ticket from the Venn diagram did so.

Friday/Monday, 22/25 September, 2017

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How are properties used to describe matter?

BENCHMARKS: SC.912.P.8.2

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:

-Contrast mixtures and pure substances.

-Distinguish between elements, compounds, and mixtures.

BELL RINGER - Mixtures vs Compounds Venn Diagram

VOCABULARY: chemical change, chemical property, physical change, physical property, homogeneous, heterogeneous, element, compound, mixture, substance, extensive properties, intensive properties

HOME LEARNING: HL 4 Density    HL 5 Density

 The above is HL 4

The above is HL 5

AGENDA

WHOLE GROUP

Students completed the Venn diagram on mixtures vs compounds as the bell ringer.

We then reviewed the Bozeman video and completed the concept map on matter and the phases of matter, which can be found below. The video is also found below.

Complete as you watch the video below on matter

We then reviewed and explained how to complete HL 4 and HL 5, as seen above.

Notes on matter were continued. You can find the power point presentation in video form below.

Students will use the completed Venn diagram to write a comparison and contrast paper on pure substances and mixtures as their exit ticket.

Tuesday/Wednesday, 20/21 September, 2017

Students took the pre test in chemistry.

Students also received HL 3, the Density Logic Puzzle

Students began working on the GIZMO Mystery Powder Analysis

Tuesday/Wednesday, 05/06 September, 2017

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How are properties used to describe matter?

BENCHMARKS: SC.912.P.8.2

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:

-Contrast mixtures and pure substances.

-Distinguish between elements, compounds, and mixtures.

BELL RINGER: Scientific Method Variables quiz/Physical and Chemical Properties

VOCABULARY: chemical change, chemical property, physical change, physical property, homogeneous, heterogeneous, element, compound, mixture, substance, extensive properties, intensive properties

HOME LEARNING: HL 2: Elements, Compounds and Mixtures

AGENDA

WHOLE GROUP

Students completed a quiz on variables.

Students then completed a bell ringer on physical and chemical properties.

Students received Home Learning 2, which can be found above. It is due next class period.

Students began notes on matter classification. You can watch the power point in video form below. Just click to pause so you can add your notes.

Students should prepare for a baseline exam next week.
