Periodic Chart and Chemical Symbols – January 14-15
January 14, 2010 by Mr. Vreeland
We finished our discussion on the groups on the periodic chart. I gave you time in class to make flash cards to study the chemical symbols you will need to memorize. A listing of these elements can be see on the HW for our last blog.
In addition, we discussed briefly what should be in your notebooks since the beginning of the semester. We took notes on metals, non-metals, and metalloids the first day back from break. That same day, we completed a hands on lab about metals, non-metals, and metalloids. On January 07 and 11 we completed our lab and took notes on pure substances, mixtures, elements, compounds, atoms, and molecules.
HW: Study for test AND quiz NEXT class.
The quiz will be on 30 elements and their chemical symbols.
The Test will cover all the material we have learned since the beginning of the semester. I would make sure my notes were in order for this test (this includes notes, warm-ups, homework, and class work). You never know when you may have an OPEN NOTES TEST. If you want to look in your book, the main chapters that relate to the test would be chapters 4 and 12.
