East Auburn Co-op Lab

This is the same kit that I had in class on Monday when we were talking about molecular structures. https://www.amazon.com/Molecular-Model-Kit-Biochemistry-Chemistry/dp/B01M9CW0LW/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1516668391&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=molecular+model+kit&psc=1

Happy Friday! I hope you all have gotten a head start on reading module 3 and working out some of the problems. Make sure that as you read and do the problems you are writing down any questions you might have so that we can work on it Monday. Module 3 will be exploring the world of atoms and molecules. Get yourself familiar with the periodic table, because it will become your best friend and is the back bone of chemistry. Remember where the metals, nonmetals, and transition metals are located. Those elements on the periodic table bond together to make compounds, which is what we will be studying the rest of the year.  On Monday we will be doing The Conservation of Mass lab (experiment 3.1 pg. 71). Lab partners are changing, so check in with your new partner to divide up the materials that need to be brought to lab. We will be using 2 beakers, a watch glass, a teaspoon, lye, white vinegar, several leaves of red cabbage, water, small pot, measuring cup, something to heat wate...

Hello All, Happy Friday! Hope your week went well! Mine was crazy with multiple exams but those are done (till a couple weeks). On Monday we will be doing the Measuring The Specific Heat of a Metal lab (lab 2.2). We will be using the same partners as the density lab, so check with your partner to make sure each group will have all the supplies needed. You will need a calibrated thermometer, 2 styrafom cups, a scale (that measures grams), chunk of metal, boiling water and kitchen tongs. We will need something to boil the water so you should bring a hot plate or something of that sort.  Due Monday is your calibrating thermometer lab report, and the specific heat prelab. Come to class with questions about the material, so we can go over the confusing stuff. Message me if you have any questions in the mean time! Have a great weekend! See you Monday! Ms. Hodgkin 

Hello All! Happy Tuesday evening, I hope your weeks are going well. If you have not done so already I encourage you all to look at the sample lab report on the website to get an idea of what I'm looking for in your report. Remember that it needs to be a typed Introduction, Procedure, Results, and Conclusion. (This is going to be changing after the temperature lab but for the density lab it needs to be typed with the sections. The changes will be explained in lab Monday, but I think you'll be happy with the change). Speaking of Monday, due this Monday is a typed lab report of the density lab (you will hand in the density prelab at this time as well), and the prelab for lab 2 (Calibrating Your Thermometer pg. 43). For this lab you will just need a thermometer, a glass that you can boil water with, and something to heat the water with (hot plate or alcohol burner, or possibly stove).  Below you will find who your partner is for the Calibrating Thermometer lab, get in con...

Hello All! Welcome to East Auburn Baptist church home school Co-Op. This will be the official website for the chemistry lab portion of Co-Op. Below you will find attachments that will help you throughout this course. Attached is a Lab Schedule, Class Expectations, A Prelab example, as well an example of a written lab report. Please use these links as guides as you are planning for lab and writing lab reports. If you have any questions feel free to write them in the comments and I will respond there, or email me. The questions do not just have to do with the chemistry lab, but can also be on the material that you are learning. As the course progresses there may be the option of doing tutoring sessions throughout the week, depending on how people are handling the material. I love the subject and would really enjoy being of help in any way I can. Thank you!
