Chemical Properties!!

First off, let me thank those who have gotten their powerpoint presentations in on time, that makes me.... and your parents... very happy!! :)

We have now moved into Chemical Properties. Did you know EVERYTHING is made out of chemicals?
Students will need to identify chemical changes and their properties based on the gas formation, temperature, or color change. We have just started and are going to have a lot of fun mixing chemicals!! There will be eating involved with some of the chemical mixing!!! Good stuff only.

TEST March 18th

We have been learning about acids/bases and the periodic table over the course of the last month. Students have been working in labs, through brainpop, and united streaming in an effort to learn from multiple medias. It's now time to take the test and check their understanding. The test will be on March 18th, Thursday. I will post the study guide tomorrow. (I'm still recovering from the food poisoning I obtained on Tuesday. I can't stand looking at a screen for very long :)

We're going to beat up this test and show off what we know!!!!!!
