Homework from 12/15 and 12/16

Hi everyone!

Today we went over the homework that was due and played "Go Fish for an Ion" - a card game which involves making chemical formulas and then writing them and the names of the compounds. We will be doing this again on Thursday and Friday.

Monday and Tuesday, we will be having a short test. The students were given this in class, but here's the info for it:

1) 10 T/F questions on Lesson 22
2) 10 point essay question - they were given this in class several classes ago.
3) 20 names to write
4) 20 formulas to write

It usually takes the class about half the period to take this test. Start studying now!

Other homework - Pages 169 and 171 (not 170) which is more practice on names and formulas. This is due next class.

It has been a while since I've given any candy away for students reading this, so I'll do it again - if you are in my classes, and you come up to me and talk to me about my homeroom's mascot at some point, I will give you something as a prize. Thanks for staying updated here!

Homework from 12-9 and 12-10

Hi everyone!

Today we went over lesson 23 - and learned how to write names and formulas for ionic compounds. This becomes very important as we will use it for almost everything that we do over the next couple of months until the end of the year. Please make sure to practice these regularly.

Homework, for Tuesday and Wednesday (since we have a test on Friday and Monday coming up), is pages 167 and 168 - practicing writing names and formulas.

We also have that test coming up - Friday and Monday. Please make sure to study for that!

Have a nice night and enjoy the snow! haha

Homework for 12-3 and 12-4

This is a little late, but there isn't much to add into here. We didn't have any new homework from Thursday and Friday.

We went over the review packet which was due these days, and then did a practice worksheet in class. Some of the classes were short, due to the early dismissal on Friday and the Mercyhurst assembly on Thursday, so we didn't do much else with the extra time in the other classes except for some extra homework time.

The worksheets from the previous assignment are due Monday and Tuesday, and the test is on Friday (12/11) and Monday (12/14) - start studying now. This should be a relatively easy test, but the students were told that a lot of how they do on the test will come from how they did on the quizzes. Probably 70-80% of the test will be the same things they had to do on the quizzes, so if they could handle those, they should be good for the test in terms of problems.

We will be beginning the next Unit on Monday and Tuesday, but that won't be on the test.

Enjoy the snow!
