Forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion
Click here to watch the video for my absence on 4/18/18.
As we approach spring break…
This week we will wrap up our study of chemistry and plan on moving into physics when we return from break.
I will collect and hang onto the chemistry portion of your notebook after our return.
Here is a little video to explain the vernal equinox and the arrival of spring on March 20th.
Currently…
We are working on atomic theory, atomic structure, ions, and isotopes. Next we will be moving towards understanding the organization of the Periodic Table.
This video is a great starting point!
Unit 2-The Nature of Matter
Our first unit test is this Thursday…how about a little Kahoot for review? Click on the image to play.
If you want to play at home, you need a device to run the Kahoot and one to play the Kahoot. Ask family members to join in!
Second Semester…Finally in full swing?!?!
We begin with some science basics, some review and some new.
- problem solving by GUESS Method
- SI system conversions and dimensional analysis
- solving equations for variables
- scientific notation
- significant figures
- accuracy and precision
- measuring skills
Welcome to Second Semester-2018

Week 15 11/20-11/24
Happy Thanksgiving!!
How about a little turkey day Kahoot?! Click on the image for a little festive physical science fun, turkey themed, of course!
Week 11: October 23-27, 2017
In Physical Science…we are ready to use all the measurement skills we have been practicing. Physics is next…motion, speed, and forces.
In Chem…we continue to work with the periodic table and chemical bonding. Next we move onto chemical reactions and equations.
Check out this cool PT, it shows which type of stars elements came from.
Week of October 16, 2017
How about a little fun with Significant Digits…
Week of October 2-6, 2017
Physical Science continues to practice bonding and balancing… we have one more unit of chemistry before we flip to physics.
Chemistry continues to work with the periodic table this week.
Week of September 25-29, 2017
In Physical Science:
We will wrap up chemical bonding and move onto chemical reactions and chemical equations.
In Chemistry:
We will move on from the electron and look at Periodic Law and trends on the Periodic Table.
Week of September 18-22, 2017
This week in Physical Science we move on to chemical bonding.
This week in Chemistry we wrap up atoms with a test on Tuesday. Next we move onto electron configurations and orbitals.
What a great week:
- Homecoming Parade is on Tuesday
- Fall arrives Friday afternoon with the Autumnal Equinox.
- Friday night is the homecoming football game.
- Saturday night is the homecoming dance.
WELCOME HOME, BOMBERS!
Week of September 11-15, 2017
This week in Physical Science:
- organization of the Periodic Table and Families of Elements
In Chemistry this week:
Atomic Theory
Week of September 5, 2017
Welcome back after a long weekend!
This week in Physical Science we will be continue looking at atoms and Bohr models, then turn our focus to Lewis e-dot diagrams, isotopes, and ions. We end the week with our Unit 2 test at move on next to the Periodic Table.
This week in Chemistry we will continue to practice dimensional analysis and density. We then turn our focus to the scientific method and round out the week with a clean up day and our Unit 2 test on measurement.
Week of August 28, 2017
Four day week…
Physical Science will begin studying the ATOM.
Chemistry will be working on MEASUREMENT this week.
Make time to visit the fair this weekend…it is one not to miss!
