Week 7 - Lesson Plans September 21st - 25th

Chemistry I Lesson Plans September 21^st - 25^th

This week is Homecoming Week so it is a little crazy!! Because of this, we will do a lab to start off our measurement unit with a qualitative (descriptive) measurement lab using precipitates to indicate a reaction has occurred. The rest of the week will focus on completing this lab, writing the lab report for it, and preparing for our next wet lab – The Energy of Foods Lab – by using the computational chemistry program WebMO to design and analyze a carbohydrate and a fat.

Monday:

1. Tests back

2. Start the notes on Measurement Unit

3. Qualitative Analysis pre-lab - due Wednesday 9/30 with turnitin.com by midnight Sat.

Tuesday:

1. Qualitative Analysis Lab

2. Getting to Know ch 2 worksheet due Thursday

Wednesday: LUNCH ON THE LAWN, CLASS GAMES, POWDERPUFF

Week 6 Lesson Plans

Lesson Plans Sept 14-18 (Week 6)

Chemistry I – The objective this week is to finish up our unit on physical and chemical properties and changes and the review of the elements for a Chapter 1 test. We will begin our unit on measurement with a lab on qualitative analysis at the end of the week. This is different than quantitative analysis which involves numbered measurements. Qualitative analysis uses descriptive analysis, such as precipitates. Ask your student what a precipitate is and how to spell it.

Monday:

1. Lab reports due Friday, turnitin due Monday the 21st

2. Finish notes

3. Element review

4. journals due Friday

5. Unit II homework sheet due – questions?

6. Book assignment Reviewing Concepts page 28 #10, 16-22 and Problems 1,3, and 4 due

7. Test on Friday

Tuesday:

1. Grade STP and changes worksheet

2. Continue notes

3. Element review

4. Unit II worksheet due tomorrow

Weds:

1. GradeUnit II worksheet

2. Finish notes

3. Element review

4. Test on Friday

5. bookwork due tomorrow

Thurs: Bring Books to Class

1. Unit II test with elements tomorrow

2. grade bookwork

3. element review

4. lab reports due tomorrow

Friday: BRING BOOKS TO CLASS

1. Unit II Test

2. Lab reports due - turnitin due Monday

3. Getting to Know Ch 2 due Weds

Lesson Plans Sept 15-19

Adv. Chemistry – This week will continue our exploration into stoichiometry. Students will attempt to fill a snack baggie with a gas produced from the correct amounts of vinegar and baking soda to see which reactant is limiting and what the best recipe will be. We will also revisit the concept of molarity or concentration and have a molarity lab where students prepare certain concentrations of various chemical solutions.

Monday:

1. Set I back

2. quiz 2 on stoichiometry

3. set 2 due Weds

Tuesday: STOICH LAB

Weds:

1. continue Stoich Lab

2. Set 2 due

3. Limiting problems due Monday

Thursday:

1. Stoich quiz 3

2. finish lab

Friday:

1. Finish lab if needed

2. Limiting problems due Monday

3. notes on Molarity

4. Molarity handout together

5. Molarity worksheet due Weds

Lesson Plans Sept 15-19

AP Chemistry – this week continues our discussion of organic molecules and the bonding and interand intramolecular forces that hold them together. Aldehydes and ketones will be added to our study as well as carboxylic acids and esters.

Monday:

1. ch 4 homework part I is due!
