Art AND Science Homework

Art Students: Prepare for the Big One! So far we have done small watercolor projects, in preparation...now a major assignment begins, combining what you are exploring in your geography class and your artistic genius.  An 11x15 watercolor, and it can  be...

• a famous landmark/building  from a country you've studied, or are interested in, like the Hagia Sophia, or the Taj Mahal or ...anything except the USA
• an artistically done map which reflects the culture of the area as well as the geography
• or your idea, so long as it reflects a geographical theme, and it gets my approval 

TO PREPARE>>> Collect several pictures (Google image search) and study up on what you are proposing to create.  Bring to Thursday's class for approval.  This project will require you to do some work at home and come to class prepared.

     

AND NOW FOR SCIENCE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Turn in all  worksheets on Monday

Ketchup...I mean, Catch Up

If you have not done the homework from last blog, please scroll down to find last week's blog and put in the extra time. Three worksheets and two videos....this is catching up, and you have till next Monday.  You also have the review worksheet from class to complete.

****But to be clear, for this Thursday, you MUST watch the following videos, and please take notes.
 ***** Thursday's lab will be on counting atoms.

*****Don't forget to finish up the worksheet from class.

Avogadro's number. 

Over the Break...

No class next week, but there is homework for Monday when we return.

PRINT OUT THESE THREE WORKSHEETS

answers are included, but save ink and only print the first page of each file.

• Mixed ionic and covalent naming worksheet
• Word equations worksheet (just write the balanced equation; you can ignore the "H=negative" stuff )  if you can figure out if it is dissolved in water (aq), solid (s), liquid (l) or gas (g) write that as a subscript by the compound.  If heat is a product, write it on the product side as "+heat"
• More balancing equations worksheet

And here is an excellent video, please watch the first 14 minutes at least, but you may certainly finish it off, to get ahead.  Quantifying Chemical Reactions  not a catchy name, but really well done and interesting. total time 28 minutes.

LOOKING AHEAD; When we come back from winter break, we will dig into the subject of chemical reactions-- lotsa labs, lotsa fun.  We will once again do individual demonstrations of chemical reactions and the internet is a great source to find interesting demonstrations using household products.  So keep your eyes open for an experiment you might want to demonstrate to the class.

Like Sudoku, but different...

I.   pHET simulation : Balancing Chemical Equations - Play the Game! do the introduction, use the tools (in the upper right corner) play the game (3 levels)  -- I can't tell if it is easier to start with the sim or with the video... if the sim is frustrating, come back to it after the lesson.

...and on to the [skip,skip,skip] the next chapter, Chapter 24, Chemical Reactions!

Read section 1, Chemical Changes, page 738-742
Take notes in your SJ, including vocabulary, reading check questions,  copy Table 1 and Figure 4  and answer the section 1 assessment questions 1-7.

II. Balancing Chemical Equations

Now do the Balancing equations worksheet from class:

not to belabor...

X-planations

Explain It: As I said in class, go over your lab packet,  add any additional information you need, if you skipped a lab, google it on youtube, and then for each lab make a very short statement of explanation---which principle is demonstrated?-- using the vocabulary from last blog.  



Reading: Ask me a chemistry question: the pepper-soap experiment
Videos:

Print out page 2 only, do set 3 only.  Correct your own work from page 4.

chemical formula writing worksheet  Don't forget the cross-over method for balancing charges, and it may be helpful to write the chemical symbol and charge  in the cation column.

The Chemistry of Water

Some Videos on the Chemistry of Water -- repetitive, but all the better to remember, my dearies...
Take notes/illustrate.  If the information is repeated, you only have to write it down once.
Some vocabulary to watch for:
Polar Covalent...Adhesion...Cohesion...Capillary Action...hydrophilic & hydrophobic... Universal Solvent... Heat Capacity
