Interactive Notebooks due 4/14/15

I will be collecting Interactive Notebooks from pages 110 to 126 on Tuesday (day of test). Project grade.

Energy Test Study Guide

Energy Test Study Guide

·        Know the different types of energy as well as an example of each.  See INB pages 112, 113,116,118,119

·        Section review 5-1  INB page 114  types of energy associated with the pictures

·        The transfer of energy in a pendulum .(text page 151) be able to label where the greatest PE, Least PE, greatest KE, Least KE, and where there is both PE and KE     AND explain in words

.

·        Explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy.  Give 2 real world examples and explain the transfer of energy between them  (see text book from page 140 on, or INB)

·        On Friday we will do INB page 126 which will also be on the test  How does changing the voltage in an electrical circuit affect that system?  Draw and label the types of energy associated with that system.

Homework due 3/26/15

Go to each of these links and write 4 bullets of information for each power point.  Label the titles of the power points above each set of bullets.   Interactive notebook page 117

3/16 Homework

Worksheet.  Graphing side only.
Study for quiz (changed from test to quiz) on Thursday

Acceleration quiz/Interactive Notebook check/Third quarter extra credit

INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK PAGES 83 - 103  CHECK FOR DATES, TITLES, COLORED PICTURES, TABLE OF CONTENTS


QUIZ - THURSDAY  STUDY PAGES 95, 98 - 108 AND MATH PRACTICE SHEETS (not attached in notebook)

KNOW:

how to calculate for force, mass, or acceleration and the units that go with each. (triangle)

the three ways an object is considered to be accelerating

the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration (if mass increases, how does that affect acceleration, etc)

graphing:  what the lines mean for BOTH distance vs time graphs and velocity (speed) vs time graphs
  (especially constant velocity, zero velocity, positive and negative acceleration

graphing: 
know what variables are
calculate for acceleration using the formula:  final velocity - initial velocity
                                                                            final time - initial time

Conservation of Mass Quiz 1/23

All questions require written responses.

Explain open and closed systems and give an example of each.

Explain the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Explain why the mass was not the same during the chemical reaction between the baking soda and vinegar even though it was supposed to be a closed system.

Using the following chemical reaction, be able to discuss the number of each type of element and whether it demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Baking soda      +      vinegar           →       Sodium acetate        +      water        +         carbon dioxide

NaHCO₃             +      CH₃COOH       →         NaOOCCH₃              +        H₂O         +                 CO₂

Mystery powder lab

Make a title page  "Mystery Powder Lab", a picture colored, name, date, group

Attach in this order:  Title page, data table (station 1 toward front), Analysis (question 1 toward front) and rubric.

Powder Properties information:
Salt:  does not react with vinegar or iodine, has a crystal shape, less soluble than sugar.

Sugar:  does not react with vinegar, crystal shape, very soluble in water, dissolves in vinegar, truns brown when heated.

Baking Soda:  Reacts with vinegar(produces a gas), does not react with iodine, does not have a crystal shape, slightly soluble in water.

Corn Starch:  reacts with iodine, does not react with vinegar (gets thick, then hard), no crystal shape, insouble in water

Plaster of Paris:  Reacts with vinegar (produces a gas), turned grey with water, reacts with iodine(turned lighter brown), has not crystal shape, melts-then hardens in water and vinegar.
