HON CHEMISTRY: Here’s some GREAT practice for the test – a Chapter 1 Pre-Test. Fill in your answers below. When you are finished, be sure and click Submit and check to see which ones you missed.
UPDATE: This is the new Tuesday night homework. It’s due by 8:00 AM Wednesday morning. Let’s see what you know! 🙂

Chemistry Chapter 1 Pre-Test
CHEMISTRY: So if I gave you an unknown substance, could you begin to ask yourself questions to determine what type of matter it is? Could you design an experiment to find out? And which has more heat – a burning match or an ice burg? So many ways to apply what you know today!!
And wow!! The paper cup with water did not burn! Why? Today we finished notes on the classification of matter and we also finished notes on energy. So why did the paper cup with water not burn in the flame? Wow! And why? Hmmmm……
PHYSICS: What makes a bowling ball move? Or stop moving? What’s your theory about the cause of motion? And how can we make use of this concept of inertia? Hmmm….

HON CHEMISTRY – Wow! Do you realize what we just did?!? We finished the chapter!!! Did you feel like today was mostly review?
A great resource to research the elements Cu, Si and P (for the TEST!!) are these video clips on copper, phosphorus, and silicon that a group of chemistry researchers have put together at www.periodicvideos.com. Watch these and take notes. The information on these video clips will be on the test.
Hey, have you had a chance to check out the chapter 1 study suggestion sheet? Let me know if there is anything you need help with before the test! (And you’re still learning the symbols of the elements, right?!?)
🙂
CHEMISTRY: Here’s a mixture that looks like it might be worth investigating – bacon caramel popcorn! I mean, I like bacon and I like caramel popcorn, but bacon caramel popcorn? Hmmmm….
So now that you know about mixtures, could you figure out how to separate one? Keep these notes handy!
CHEMISTRY: Awesome job today reviewing Tech 101 stuff and beginning to write your first digital lab reports. Be sure and follow very carefully the directions in the Lab Manuscript Form handout. It’s under the lab tab. Everything in that handout is an important guideline for writing your lab report.
For an overview of your workflow as you write up labs, be sure and check out the Lab Report Turn In Info sheet under the Lab tab.
Here’s our look at it from today!

HON CHEMISTRY: Happy Thursday! Great job today on asking questions to classify matter! How are you doing on the examples of homogeneous and heterogeneous matter? Here’s a question to think about again, can you tell me three different types of homogeneous matter?
And no, this isn’t part of a moonshine still, but it is copper and I thought it looked kind of cool! Speaking of….why do you think they use copper coil in stills??
HON CHEMISTRY: Great discussion today on the difference in heat and energy! Can you apply what you know? So why did that paper cup of water not burn in the Bunsen burner flame? Do you think we could have really boiled water? Hmmmm…..

PHYSICS – Great review today with conceptual info from this chapter! No recording today BUT here’s discussion of conceptual stuff from last year and a look problems – and more problems below that.
One last help session – tomorrow morning, 7:30ish A.M.

CHEMISTRY: So how do you know if something is a physical or a chemical change? Applications, applications! Make sure you can apply what you learned today!
