Lesson Plans for CP week of 04/18/11

TUESDAY (04/19): B day Mr. Young’s students are with Mr. Young.

WEDNESDAY (04/20) A day Mr. Fournier’s students are with Mr. Young

Today we will discuss TEKS# 7: The student knows the relationships exist between properties of matter and its components, we will focus on this SE A: Investigate properties of fluids including density, viscosity and buoyancy

As part of our review we will observe a density column, how various fluids flow and how weight changes when objects are placed in fluids. As a check of our understanding we will take a TAKS review over TEAK 7.

THURSDAY (04/21) B day Mr. Young’s students are with Mr. Young

Today is the last day of our review. Your TAKS test is next week. Today we will discuss TEKS# 7: The student knows the relationships exist between properties of matter and its components. SE: relate chemical behavior of an element including bonding, to its placement on the periodic table. To cover this material we will refer to the PT and review why it is the shape it has. We will discuss how the properties of one element can help us to know the properties of other elements. As a check of our understanding we will review past TAKS questions over this TEAK.

3mQ CP TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY 04/19-20/11

It is easy to see how wood floats on water, how does oil float on water?
List in order of increasing viscosity: rubbing alcohol, water, toothpaste, gravy, really muddy water, catsup, mayonnaise, melted butter. What are your decisions as to the order of these substances based upon?
What is the weight of objects that float in water; what is the weight of a 10 kg rock with a volume of 8 L at the bottom of a pool of water?

BONUS: Calculate the density of the rock from #3.

Homework-Review Questions CP TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY

Calculate the mass of a marble that has a volume of 1.4 cm³ and a density of 10.7 g / cm³.
The marble in #1 is crushed in a marble crusher. Do the larger pieces have a greater density than the smaller pieces? Explain how you know.
When an object floats the fluid pushed up on the object; what about objects that sink; do fluids push up on them as well? Explain how you know.

BONUS: You can put more cargo on a ship that sails the ocean than you can in ships that sail on fresh water. Explain why this is so.

3mQ CP THURSDAY 04/21/11

Of all the elements on the PT which one attracts electrons with the greatest affinity?
Name two elements that have properties similar to Calcium.
What kind of elements give away electrons; what kind of elements take electrons; what kind of elements can do both, give and take electrons?

BONUS: Two metals are heated to their melting points and then mixed together; why do these metals remain chemically uncombined? What is the combination of metals called?
