Hi folks,
Today we spent a bit of time looking as some very general definitions for chemistry. We also spent a bit of time looking at some of chemistry's early history. We also did a little historical lab of our own today. In the spirit of early chemists, I gave groups of student mixtures of sand, salt, Cherrios and styrofoam. Their task was to separate the mixture into all 4 of the component parts. They could only use each separation procedure once. It was a bit of a challenge but every group was able to figure out their own procedures.
Homework for 12/6 is to:
Read pgs. 37-56 (Don't worry about the naming section, we'll get into that in much greater detail soon.)
Do Exercises starting on pg 65 #'s 2 - 8, 11, 13-15
Never Stop Wondering
