Physical Science: September 2009 Archives

We discussed solubility and the relationships between saturated, supersaturated, and unsaturated solutions. 

We discerned the differences between Elements and Compounds. We focused on symbols and formulas, and the students were alerted to a possible quiz on Element Symbols later in the week.

We finished our exploration of material sciences by contrasting Physical and Chemical changes.

Classes were cancelled on 9/22

Students took a quiz on the phases of matter and the phase changes based on a substance's melting and boiling points.

We continued to explore the Matter Tree, and the differences between elements, compounds, and mixtures.

Students attempted their first major test. Combined with last week's Performance Assessment, their grades should be updated by Wednesday of next week.

We continued to practice our Dimensional Analysis skills. We began the first Performance Assessment, a laboratory evaluation that counts as a test.
