Chemistry
For chemistry, we will be looking at the periodic table of elements and trying to figure out what kind of information we can pull from it.
Our first assignment is choosing an element and doing a 2 day research project on that element. This project will be done by the Sept 24th.
Next, we will be looking at Bohr diagrams. This will show the kids what electron configuration each element has which will allow us to determine what kind of bonding may occur when we mix and match elements together. We will be discussing ionic and covalent bonds, how to name compounds that have 1, 2 or 3 valences and how to balance chemical equations (law of conservation of Mass). This should take us to the 2nd week of October.
