Oct 29 - 8th

Students put page 35 in their notebook.

They then did some practice problems relating to physical and chemical change.

We finished by discussing endothermic changes.

Oct 29 - PS

We reviewed a brief balancing equation problem.

We then discussed the idea of a catalyst.

Students completed 2 lab experiments to test the idea behind catalysts.

Oct 24 - 8th

Students continued working on notebook page 36. When finished, they showed it to a teacher for initials to show that it looked to be completed correctly.

Students then read page 7-8 in the assigned eText.

When this was completed, they worked on the endothermic/exothermic interactivity.

Oct 24 - PS

Students completed the temperature of products lab.

They then finished the questions on the lab handout.

Some students began working on the worksheet using the book. We will work on this more tomorrow.

Oct 23 - 8th

Students turned in their worksheet.

We discussed the lab from yesterday.

We then played physical/chemical change memory.

Students then started working on the next notebook page.

Oct 23 - PS

Students and I discussed the correct answers to notebook page 35.

We then discussed the demonstration with the glow stick.

Oct 22 - 8th grade

We had a discussion about the molecule questions from the marshmallow activity.

Students then worked on 10 examples of molecules, elements, or compounds.

We then finished with a lab to demonstrate chemical changes.

Homework was to finish the worksheet and read the first 3 pages in the etext Chemical change on Pearson.
