Week 3 Lesson Plans

Week Three Lesson Plans for August 24^th – 28^th

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 on Friday. Students will learn and identify lab equipment for the test as well.

Monday:

1. Post-tests back

2. Grade Getting to Know your Book worksheet

3. Lab equipment

4. Element review due

5. Unit I review due tomorrow

6. Getting to know chapter 1 due Thursday

7. glass bending lab pre-lab sheet

Tuesday:

1. Grade Unit I review

2. test on Friday

3. finish Glassworking Pre-Lab

4. begin lab

Wednesday:

Advanced Chemistry Lesson Plans Sept 1^st – Sept 5^th : This week will focus on applying our review of balancing and calculating formula mass, percent composition, and empirical and molecular formulae

using a lab on finding the percent of oxygen in potassium chlorate. Then we will apply our knowledge of molarity to a molarity lab leading into our stoichiometry review and application.

Monday:

Balancing Quiz back
Lab Safety Test back
Grade Formula weights
Quiz over formula weights
potassium chlorate pre-lab

Tuesday:

Grade formula mass worksheet
Quiz over formula masses
Start Potassium Chlorate Lab

Wednesday:

Formula weights Quiz back
Part 2 of Potassium Chlorate lab
Lab reports due next Friday Sept 4^th with turnitin by midnight Saturday

Thursday:

Stoichimetry Notes
Finish Part II of Potassium Chlorate Lab if needed
Discuss lab – turnitin on computers
Stoichiometry Problem Set I due Tuesday

Friday:

Finish Potassium Chlorate Lab if needed
Continue Stoich notes
Stoichiometry Problem Set I due Tuesday

AP Chemistry Lesson Plans Aug 25^th – 29^th : This week will focus on our discussion on bonding and forces and how to predict what types are present in molecules. We will finish our inquiry lab determining if food coloring is a polar covalent, non-polar covalent, or an ionic solution. Daily quizzes will be given each day to review the ions assigned over the summer as well as the content of the review chapters 1, 2, and 3.

Monday:
