Goals:
1. Be able to classify samples of matter as either pure substance or mixture.
2. Be able to describe on a molecular level what is happening during dissolving and in a solution.
3. Properly use the terms solute, solvent, solution and concentration.
4. Be able to describe several methods for separating mixtures, including filtering and distilling.
5. Be able to interpret solubility curves and know general trends in how the solubility of solids and gases vary with temperature


Activities
Tuesday: Return quizzes. Go over background information for the distillation lab
Thursday: Lab - distilling alcohol.
Friday: no school
Monday: no school
Tuesday: Go over lab results. Some work time on lab. Start solubility curve worksheets.

3. Creating your own Solubility Curve Worksheet

Week 7 Oct.30- Nov. 5

Goals:
1. Know the boiling and melting/freezing temperatures of water in Celcius.
2. Know that temperature is an indicator of the speed (kinetic energy) of the particles in a substance.
3. Be able to describe relative particle behavior and spacing during solid, liquid and gas phases.
4. Be able to label sections of a heating curve and describe what the added energy is doing during each section.

Activities:
Tuesday: Go over previous quiz. Measure boiling and freezing temperatures.
Block day: Collect data during freezing and melting of water. Guided lecture and worksheets. Finish as homework.
Friday: Worksheet: It's just a passing phase. Finish as homework.
Monday: review and quiz
There are no electronic copies of these worksheets available. Sorry.
