Personal holiday

Notes to substitute:

Please announce to students that their final will be the next class – Tuesday of next week.
The final will concentrate on the most recent topics – parts of the atom and chemical equations, though their may be some questions from the entire semester – things they should know (like “what is distillation?”, some of the chemical element symbols, counting atoms, density, phases of matter (solids, liquids, gases), factors affecting rates of reactions (temperature, crushed up)…)

As part of the review, start with the Chapter 3 vocabulary quiz. They have already done this exact same quiz but didn’t do very well. Go over the quiz when they have finished. Let them keep the quiz to use as a study guide.

Hand back old work.

Hand out the white AIM packet 12 and the accompanying orange worksheet. Students DO NOT WRITE on the packet. They can use this packet to fill in the answers on the worksheet if they need to. Most students don’t even need the packet since all the questions are on the orange sheet. You can allow them to work in pairs or small groups but please make sure they stay focused on task. Go around and offer help to keep them going. This material, especially identifying reactants and products WILL be on the final exam.

When done, go over the answers with the class, allowing them to make corrections on their worksheets.

Sub said the students finished the packet quickly so she showed the video 95 Moons and Counting.
