Week Three Lesson Plans for August 2th -31st


Week Three Lesson Plans for August 2th -31st

Chemistry I – This week we will be getting into the lab to cut, fire polish, and bend glass tubing.  This allows me to identify the pyromaniacs and deviants so I am aware of their presence in the lab.  It is fine to be fascinated by fire – I just want to be aware.  I certainly love fire myself.  We will also be reviewing unit I to prepare for the test over types of Chemistry and the scientific method.  Students will learn and identify lab equipment for the test as well.  Students are getting to know their books through a series of book worksheets developed to encourage the reading of the text.
