Up Next, Chapter 2!

What a busy week we have had! We wrapped up chapter 2 in science, covering covalent bonds and ionic bonds. We tried an experiment comparing the conductivity of an ionic solution (salt water) and that of covalent solutions (baking soda, vinegar, and water). The ionic solution was the only one that would conduct electricity to light the light bulb. We discussed crystalline structures of minerals and molecular compounds and ionic compounds. So up next, Ch 2 test.

Remember, you are required to complete your chapter assignments and return them Tuesday. The list of acceptable assignments was passed out on Tuesday. Based on your previous test grade, you will be required to complete these assignments. If you made an 80 or above on your last test, you are only required to complete 1 chapter assignment and 1 review. If you made between a 70 and 80, you are required to complete 2 chapter assignments and 1 review. If you made less than a 70, you will be required to complete either 3 assignments and 1 review or 2 assignments and 2 reviews. If you have not already completed the salt water crystal experiment on page 68 called Shape Up!, be sure to do so. You are to copy and complete the data chart and answer the analyze and conclude section questions. I know this sounds like a lot, but most of the assignments are short. Hopefully you have kept up with your chapter assignments throughout the chapter, and won't have to cram. Study Study Study!!!

Chapter 2-3 Notes

As for math, 6th graders are required to turn in lessons 17-18 even and lesson 19 odd on Tuesday. 7th graders are required to turn in lessons 17-18 even on Tuesday. 7th graders will be given time to complete lesson 19 on Tuesday. We will also be having a math test on Thursday covering lessons 11-20.

Happy Studying!
