Week 8 (Oct.30 - Nov. 3)
Goals (Weeks 7 and 8)
1. Design, conduct, present and analyze an independent experiment about reaction rates in groups.
a. Design: show awareness of controlling variables and collecting enough of the right kind of data. Explain a reasonable hypotheisis.
b. Conduct: avoid letting carelessness or errors ruin your data.
c. Present: Organize your clearly data in tables and transform it with calculations or graphs to highlight results.
d. Analyze: Write a conclusion that is based on your data and answers your focus question.
Monday: Review returned work. Hypothesis diagrams worksheet. link to handout Homework: Finish Graphs.
Tuesday: Conclusion Scoring Worksheet. link to handout Workon conclusion. Homework: Finish conclusion
Thursday: Peer review partner's lab
Friday: Last workday for worksamples.

Week 5 and 6: Oct. 8 -12 and Oct. 16 - 20
The two weeks are being combined because week 5 was a short week.
Goals:
1. Know and be able to apply the vocabulary: variable, independent variable, dependent variable, controlled variable.
2. Understand what happens to the molecules of a substance as its temperature increases.
3. Be able to compare the speeds (rates) of a reaction through using graphs.
4. Know how temperature affects the speed (rate) of a reaction, and be able to explain this effect with particles.
Activities (wk 5):
Mon :Go over returned test. Hypothesize about what affects the rates of chemical reactions. Hypothesize about the affects of temperature on particle behavior.
Block : Reaction Rate Experiment Link to handout, Homework: Finish Graphs of Results
Thursday : Discuss experiment results and finish worksheets. Collect Notebooks. Homework over week end: Variables Worksheet
Activities (wk 6)
Mon: Correct answers to first reaction rate handout and variables worksheet. Review concepts with a game. Homework Graphing Practice Worksheet (sorry this isn't available online.)
Blockday: Work in groups to design a personalized reaction rate experiment. Outline procedure and lay out data table by end of class. handouts for inquiry project
Thursday: Start collecting data for group experiment
Friday: Quiz at beginning of class. Collect data during rest of class. Turn in existing data (about three trials) with notebook.
