3/1 Chemistry update and homework due 3/8

Hi folks,

This week we got even deeper into the periodic table as we looked at how to use it to tell us about valence electrons and the number of bonds an atom may have.  We also began looking at how atoms bond to form molecules.

Homework this week is to: 
Read the text pgs. 57 - 62
 
Do questions on page 64
9 - 14 and 23 - 34

Complete the enclosed .pdf.  The answers are included so that you can check your answers and see if you're getting the hang of it!!! This material will be on the quiz next week so really work to see if you can get a hold of this.

2/8 Chemistry update and homework due 2/15

Hi folks,

Today we did a quick lab looking at how iron combines with oxygen to form Fe2O3, other wise known as rust. This took us into a discussion of the law of conservation of mass, which led to talking about the history of chemistry and the development of modern atomic theory.

Homework this week is to:
Read 69 - 93
Do all odd questions on pg's 94 and 95.

10 points of extra credit for any of the Hands-on Chemistry Insights.
