~~~~~~~~~ Grade 10- Foundations of Physical Science ~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to 10th Grade Foundations of Physical Science!
Within this page, as you scroll down, you will find the following information that might be helpful for you:
1. A list of the daily objectives for the current cycle, including the homework assignments given each day. This is the information that I will also be looking for when I check student logs at the end of each cycle. 2. A list of important dates for tests, quizzes, projects due, etc. 3. If I can, I will also paste copies of notes sheets given in class, practice questions, and practice worksheets.
I will make every attempt to update the information on this page daily. At the beginning of each new cycle, the information from the previous cycle will be removed to make room for new material.
I hope you find this helpful. Please feel free to use the e-mail link on this page if you have any questions.

To use our online textbook, go to: your username and password should be your first and last names, all lower case, all one word.
MANY NOTES ARE GIVEN IN THE "DOWNLOADS" SECTION! This is at the bottom of the page!
Extra Credit Available: There are 2 options, and a student is allowed to complete one of each of these per cycle (for a total of 2 extra credit assignments per cycle). For each extra credit assignment, a student can put credit toward a missed homework assignment, OR add 10 points to a quiz, OR add 5 points to a test. Option 1- Read an article (newspaper, magazine, or internet) that is related to physical science (physics, chemistry, or earth science). Make sure to provide bibliographic information for the article (title, author, publication or web address, and date) or a copy of the article. Write a 1-paragraph summary AND a 1-paragraph response. A response is where you discuss what you found interesting, connections you’ve made to other topics, opinions on the information, or questions/ideas that the article brought up. You could also use a video or television program/movie for this assignment.
Option 2- Use all of Principal Zito’s words of the day for the week (that must be at least 5 words—borrow words from a previous week if you must) in a paragraph to describe a concept we are currently learning or an activity that we are currently doing in science class. The words of the day can be found by following the “Principal Zito’s Word of the Day” link on the Grasso Tech main page, or follow the link below: http://www.cttech.org/grasso/aboutus/principal/Principal_News/Word_of_the_Day.htm

CARBON COMPOUNDS AND POLYMERS
Carbon (C) has 4 available bonding sites because it has 4 valence electrons. It can form single, double, or triple bonds in different combinations (total of 4)
Each long dash between two atoms represents 1 PAIR of shared electrons (that’s 2 e-). So a double bond has 4 shared electrons.
The number of C atoms determines the boiling point. A 3-C straight-chain hydrocarbon would be a gas at room temperature, as it has a very low boiling point.
An organic compound contains C and H, often in combination with other elements, like O.
Hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) make a hydrocarbon. A saturated hydrocarbon has all single bonds (maximimum # of H’s). An unsaturated hydrocarbon has at least one double or triple bond, and will have less H’s.
Plants and animals in oceans and swamps millions of years ago died and were buried under many layers. High temperature and pressures deep in earth changed them into HYDROCARBONS.
Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy. CO2 increases the greenhouse effect.
Caused by lack of sufficient oxygen carry through complete combustion. The bi-products are carbon monoxide (CO), water (H2O), and small C particles. Carbon Monoxide is odorless, colorless, and DEADLY, as it interferes with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen necessary for survival.
A monomer is a small organic molecule that joins with other monomers to form a POLYMER. COVALENT bonds hold the monomers together in a polymer.
A polymer is a large molecule that is formed when many smaller molecules (monmers) are linked together by COVALENT bonds.
A natural polymer is a polymer that is produced by organisms in nature. PLANT and ANIMAL cells can produce polymers. Nucleic acids, made up of nucleotide monomers, carry genetic codes.
The number of carbon (C) atoms and how they are arranged.

Glue is straight chain. Borax makes the straight chain cross-link.
