Chemistry 10-13-11 Mixture Separation Lab

Wow! It’s been a pretty intense couple of days, huh? I’m really, really proud of you! It’s a good thing to be able to follow a set of directions, but an absolutely TREMENDOUS thing to be able to figure out how to solve a problem on your own! That’s a difficult thing to learn how to do, and you are doing a great job developing that skill. Any questions about writing up the lab report for Monday? Use the Lab Report manuscript form you can find here or on Edline. Remember, some of you definitely need to elaborate on your procedure! Also, you’ll have the data table that is in your book, and then include your own observations of each step you did after the data table. And then, after you write your own conclusion, don’t forget the questions on page 27 of your book: Conclusion questions 1 – 2, and Extension questions 1 – 2. And, hey, we get to start a new chapter tomorrow!!

CHEMISTRY: Here’s a mixture that looks like it might be worth investigating. I mean, I like caramel popcorn, but bacon caramel popcorn? Hmmmm….

Good luck as you finish memorizing the symbols of the elements. And don’t forget that extra credit is due tomorrow!
