5th/6th November 2009

Today we completed the notes over section 2 of chapter 6.  We also worked on the pH lab and found out that we can test for acids/bases.   We have a quiz over the vocabulary from 6-1/6-2 during our next class period.

Just a reminder about the start of the new quarter:
1) Check skyward once a week
2) Check the blog once a week
3) Keep up on the homework, notes and activities

We finished the notes over Chapter 6, section 1.  There were eight questions that were answered, and if you did not take the notes, here are the questions:

1.  What is an atom?  Draw a picture and label it.

2.  What is an element?  Give examples

3.  What is a periodic table and how is it used?  Draw and label one square from the periodic table.

4. What is a compound?

5. What is an isotope and how is it used?

6. What is a covalent bond?  Give examples
