CHEMICAL REACTIONS
We are beginning a new unit this week on chemical properties and chemical changes. This unit will last three weeks and will conclude with a unit test right before winter break. During the unit, we will create and observe several chemical reactions during class labs and demonstrations. Students will learn about chemical equations, evidence of chemical change, the law of conservation of mass, exothermic and endothermic reactions, and balancing equations.

Week of 11/14/11 - 11/18/11
COMBINING ATOMS & MOLECULES
During class this week, students will construct molecular models and draw dot diagrams to demonstrate covalent bonding between nonmetals. We will also learn about hydrogen bonding, monomers, polymers, and NaCl. Students will have the opportunity to grow their own crystals during a lab at the end of this unit.
HOMEWORK
Monday (11/14): MgCl2 drawing and essay due Tuesday; Workbook pg. 50-54 due Wednesday
Tuesday (11/15): Workbook pg. 50-54 due Wednesday
Wednesday (11/16): Molecular Model lab due today
Thursday (11/17): Finish WS pg. 11 & 12
Friday (11/18): Content Vocabulary WS pg. 19 & 20
UNIT TEST
The final test for this unit will be next Tuesday, November 22. We will spend next Monday reviewing as a class. Students who did not reach the big goal on last Wednesday's quiz are encouraged to stop in during lunch this week for extra review.

Week of 11/7/11 - 11/9/11
IONIC & COVALENT BONDS
Students will be learning about ionic and covalent bonding this week in class. To reinforce ionic bonds, students will complete a project that illustrates the ionic bonding of the compound magnesium chloride. The project includes a poster and an essay. All details for the project are explained on a handout given out on Tuesday. The assignment is due on Tuesday, Nov. 15 and will be worked on during class this Tuesday and Wednesday.
HOMEWORK
Monday (11/7): Review covalent bond notes
Tuesday (11/8): MgCl2 poster and essay due Tuesday.; Quiz on Monday
Wednesday (11/9): MgCl2 poster and essay due Tuesday; Study for quiz Monday
* Just a reminder - No school Thursday or Friday!
* Canned Food Drive - Students may bring in canned food to their 1st period class this week and next week. All items will be donated to the local food bank.
