Smiley Belle's Science

We have our first unit test on THURSDAY! The test is worth 50% of your grade. A study guide will be given out on Tuesday.  Essential Question:  How can we differentiate between pure substances and mixtures? Objectives:  By the end of the week, students should be able to: - Classify common substances as pure substances or mixtures - Identify that pure substances can be elements or compounds - Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures - Identify that mixtures can involve multiple states of matter (gas dissolved in liquid) Assignments: (All assignments can be found on Teams using One Drive) - Pure Substances and mixtures concept map (notes) - Pure Substances and mixtures investigation - Pure Substances and mixtures classify practice - Pure Substances and mixtures quiz

We are starting a new unit on Matter this week. All "Family Album" Projects in my advanced classes should be uploaded to Focus by midnight Monday night/Tuesday morning.  Essential Questions:  nce’s molecules determine its state of matter? How does the arrangement of a substance's molecules determine the state of matter? How does the arrangement of a substance's molecules determine the speed at which light and sound can travel through it?  Objectives : Identify and describe the arrangement of molecules in each state of matter Create a model to explain the motion of particles in a solid, liquid and gas Relate the arrangement of molecules in solids, liquids, and gases to light's speed as it travels through each state of matter Explain that light and sound can be reflected, refracted, and/or absorbed as it interacts with different states of matter.  Assignments ( Please access assignments and daily slides (NOTES) through TEAMS via One View) States o

We are continuing our study of "Atoms and Elements" with the Periodic table this week! Essential Question:  How are elements arranged on the periodic table? How can the properties of elements be predicted based on its location in the periodic table? Objectives: - Describe that as you move from left to right in a period (row) on the Periodic Table, the number of protons increases by one. ∙ Describe that elements found in the same group/family (column) have the same properties. ∙ Recognize that elements are grouped in the Period Table of Elements according to their properties. ∙ Predict which elements would have properties similar to a given element. Assignments : Please access assignments and daily slides (notes) using TEAMS through OneView. - Periodic Table Doodle Notes (Lesson 3) - Periodic Table Scavenger Hunt (Lesson 3) - Alien Periodic Table (Lesson 4) - Penda: Periodic Table (online through blended learning) - Achieve: "Molecule Movie" and &qu
