On-Line Assignment

Parent-teacher interviews are fast approaching. As the final assignment to the Chemistry Unit, I would like you complete the following assignment. You must BLOG your response in a new post. Responses are due no later than Wednesday Nov 1, 2006 by midnight.


Step One: State the Unit and your name

Step Two: List at least five things you learned this unit.

Step Three: State which lab you enjoyed the most and write one or two sentence explaining why.

Step Four: How difficult did you find the unit. Rate the unit's difficulty on a scale of one to ten. One being extremely easy and ten being extremely difficult.

Step Five: Write one or two sentences about feeling about high school Science. Was the class what you expected? Harder? Easier? More work?

Step Six: What changes if any would you like to see in the Science class for the next unit.

Step Seven: What are the next two units will complete this year in Science?

Chemistry is Coming to an END!!!

Hello Folks,

We took a small break from the blog and now I hope we are back into the full swing of things. A reminder that our Chemistry TEST is on Tuesday October 24, 2006 and because I am such a wonderful teacher here are a list of things you need to know for that wonderful day:

1) Everything from the first quiz - Chemical and physical properties, chemical and physical changes, density, WHMIS,
2) How to find protons, neutrons and electrons,
3) How to draw Rutherford - Bohr Models
4) Know the families and periods of the periodic table
5) How to draw stable Rutherford-Bohr models
6) How to the find the ionic charge/combing capacity
7) How to write a compounds' name and chemical formula
8) How to write a word equation for a compound.
9) How to draw a ball and hook diagram (holding hands diagram)
10)Standard Atomic Notation *** we will be learning this Thursday Oct 19, 2006
11) Isotopes and Radioisotopes ***we will be learning this Thursday Oct 19, 2006

AHHH so much to know and so little brain space! Start studying now and don't forget there is help with me after school and there is the homework centre Monday through Thursday at 7 to 8:30 pm. I am also available via e-mail at kelly_scallion@hotmail.com.

The strongest tool you have for review are your classmates...ask questions, make sure you have the notes, make sure you have the corrected assignments and ASK QUESTIONS!

Happy Blogging

Gianormous Periodic Table

Gianormous Periodic Table Assignment

Create a larger than life periodic table based on the table in the back of the textbook or the one in your agenda.

Use the large graph paper provided in class.

Each element in the periodic table should be presented as indicated below:

Atomic Number Number of Electrons
Number of Protons

Chemical Symbol
Chemical Name
Number of Neutrons

Your table must be neat, easy to read and all the information has to be accurate.

All information must be PRINTED not hand written.

The periodic must have a title and be fully coloured, with the elements in their respective families.

The more effort you put into the periodic table the more marks you will receive.

Scallion’s Tip of the Day!
Start out in pencil. That way if you make a mistake you can easily fix it! Marks will be deducted for the use of white out.

LAB 2.6 (I promise that this is the right one!)

Just a reminder folks that your lab 2.4 is due October 10th and this Friday October 6, 2006 is lab 2.6.

If you read the blog tonight you may want to bring a ruler, pencil, eraser and some pencil caryons to class tomorrow.

Cheers and happy Blogging
