BIG IDEA: Electrons can jump from shell (energy level) to shell (energy level). These jumps give off light that tell us about what element is there.

1. Warm-up: Complete Life on the Edge worksheet, correct.
2. Collect Quarter Project information, turn EVERYTHING you have for the QP in to your teacher.
3. Chemcatalyst, pg. 67 Technicolor Atoms
4. Model: Lab #5: Technicolor Atoms
5. Do Lab #5: Technicolor Atoms
6. Clean up and write down homework

Homework: 1) pg. 57-58, textbook (electron information in PT). 2) Based on the first run of your QP, explain two sources of error in your project, and rewrite the procedure. Turn in the typed revision on Thursday.

Monday, Oct. 6th: BIG IDEAS: The periodic table can tell you a LOT about an element. Electrons are critical to atoms’ ability to make compounds.

1. Warm-up: Find Astatine on your periodic table. Explain everything you know about astatine from its position on the periodic table (at least 7 things!).
2. Turn in homework (aec worksheet)
3. Review sheet (see me for the handout) with crucial information for students from last 3 weeks.
4. CST worksheet, pgs. 1 and 2, fill out. Complete QP-type questions with information from YOUR quarter project! Finish first page, use for homework below.
6. Finish “Life on the Edge” activity. Go over the worksheet, explain why electrons are so important.
7. Give examples of the Quarter Project homework, what kind of science behind their project they should be looking for.

1. Honors Chem: Explanation of quantum energy levels and spectral lines:

http://members.misty.com/don/spectra.html

Homework:
1) QP: 3 paragraphs about the science behind your quarter project. Include sources of information. Due Wednesday. 2. Explain CST worksheet to a parent. Explain what it is for, and explain the information on the first two pages, using the periodic table. Bring signed verification. Due Tuesday. 3. Per. Table worksheet #4, due Tuesday.

Friday, Oct. 3rd, 2008

BIG IDEA: Atoms make up the world (including you!), so you need to be very familiar with them! Elements combine into compounds, all made of atoms.

1. Warm-up: Name the parts of the atom, explain their importance and how big they are in comparison to each other.
2. Finish Notes #5.
3. Review Quarter Projects, provide models of good projects.
4. Begin "Life on the Edge," pg. 55-57.
6. Review briefly for the quiz.
7. Quiz #4: Parts of the Atom and the Periodic Table.

Homework: aec worksheet.

Thursday, Oct. 2nd, 2008

BIG IDEA: Atoms make up the world (including you!), so you need to be very familiar with them! Elements combine into compounds, all made of atoms.

1. Warm-up: Write Boron-10 and Boron-11 as symbols. Explain how they are different.
2. Quarter projects: show several examples of good projects, strong procedures, good evidence of doing the projects. Hand back QPs that were handed in on Monday.
3. Chemcatalyst: Life on the Edge, pg. 55.
4. Life on the Edge Activity, pg. 56-57 (20 min.)
5. Notes #5: The Atom
6. Honors Chem: Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment and Einsteins photoelectric effect:

Homework: 1) STUDY! Review notes #3, 4, and 5, concentrating on #4 and #5. Bring verification

Wednesday, Oct. 1st: Neutrons and Isotopes

BIG IDEA: Protons have the power to make an element what it is. Different numbers of neutrons make isotopes of an element.

1. Hand out quizzes, correct mistakes.
2. Review quiz #3
3. Assign homework.
4. Finish Subatomic Heavyweights, do Check-in.
5. Debrief Lab #3: Group II Metals
6. Honors Chem: J.J. Thompson, discovery of the electron discussion
