SUMMER SCHOOL,DAY 8: CHEMICAL QUANTITIES (THE MOLE)

Students, you can find the latest Power Point Notes on Chemical Quantities and Moles HERE:






Students:  here is Paul Anderson's video, as shown in class, explaining the concept of the mole with helpful illustrations:




Student should use this video to complete a worksheet given in class, which is also available online HERE.

SUMMER SCHOOL, DAY 7: 'FIREWORKS' VIDEO

Students who were in Mr. Hatfield's classes on Wednesday, June 21st , watched part of a PBS video entitled 'Fireworks!'  Students who need to watch it again, or who were not present on Thursday, will find the video embedded below in this post.

The worksheet for this video can be obtained HERE.

Students should pay careful attention to items from Chapter 5 (electron configuration) and Chapter 7 (ionic compounds):

FLAME TEST LAB

If students were absent on the day we were guests in Mr. Hanna's classroom, they did not get to see the actual lab where we performed a 'flame test' on various ionic compounds.   

Here is a video that shows much the same sort of observations students made on Wednesday.   Unfortunately, we do not have Bunsen burners in my classroom, and so it is not practical to 'make up' the lab.   Watch the video, students, and compare it with observations that students who attended were able to make in order to understand the material:

SUMMER SCHOOL, DAY 6: ELECTRON CONFIGURATION

Students, here is the Power Point for the second group of notes,on electron configuration, orbitals, models of the atom, and rules for electrons:

Students should use this along with the previous section of Notes to complete their Study Guide for tomorrow's test, and along the way make sure that everything in the Study Guide does, in fact, appear in the notes in their Composition Book.

SUMMER SCHOOL DAY 6: "LEWIS DOT DIAGRAMS"

Here's a video shown in class on Tuesday, June 20th, in which Paul Andersen explains how to do Lewis dot structures, which are used to keep track of the number of VALENCE ELECTRONS in the representative elements:

SUMMER SCHOOL, DAY 5: PROPERTIES OF MATTER

Students: here are the Power Point Notes that covers material from Chapters 2 and 6.   

Students will be provided a second Power Point tomorrow covering material from Chapter 5, in order to complete their Study Guide ("Properties of Matter") that includes all of the notes for Wednesday's test.

SUMMER SCHOOL DAY 5: "NAMING COMPOUNDS"

Here's another Paul Anderson video that is sure to help students fill in the gaps in their understanding, on how to name both IONIC and COVALENT COMPOUNDS:
