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 water, stirring rod (or spoon), safety goggles and gloves. The gloves and goggles are important for this lab since lye is a strong base (which you guys will learn about later). If you are having any trouble gathering any of the material please let me know and I can try and bring some stuff in, or make sure someone else can bring extra.

Lab Partners
Faith T. & Emily M.
Tirzah W. & Stephen L.
Sara M. & Taylor W.
Julia W. & Jillian R.

Due this Monday is your Specific Heat of a Metal Lab Report, as well as the conservation of mass prelab.

Message me with any questions.
Thank you.

Chemistry Lab Introduction

Image
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!

Table Summarizing Molecular Geometry

Image
This is a table very neatly laying out molecular geometry and how it changes with electron density and lone pairs. *Note: The graph uses the word steric no in the first column, that is the same as how many different electron densities does the atom have, which we discussed today*

Lab Announcements

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...
