Parents and Students,

Please keep in mind the lessons provided are to assist you in keeping abreast of assignments and lessons.

It is the student's responsibility to check the yellow/pink calendar and absent work folder for assignments missed during their absence.

If any assistance is needed, I am available for tutoring before school (7:45 a.m.) every day of the week.

Week of November 16 – 20, 2009

Pre-AP and Science 7

Monday, November 16, 2009

Objective

(Student will…)

The student will be able to:

1.        Identify physical and chemical properties of matter.

2.        Classify objects based on physical properties.

Teacher Activities & Strategies

1.  Bellwork: Please copy and complete.

a.  Define:

-    Physical property – characteristic that you can observer without changing or trying to change the composition of the substance.

-    Chemical property – characteristic that cannot be observed without altering the substance.

-    Matter – anything that has mass and takes up space

2.  Organize notes and foldable for physical and chemical properties.

3.  Organize notes for physical and chemical change. (If possible).

4.  Organize materials.

5.  Dismissal.

Student Activities

1. Complete bellwork.

2. Organize and complete notes.

3. Practice with examples of physical/chemical properties and physical/chemical change.

Assessment/Evaluation

Organization of notes, placement of materials in appropriate categories.

Academic Vocabulary (optional by dept.)

-    Physical property – characteristic that you can observer without changing or trying to change the composition of the substance.

-    Chemical property – characteristic that cannot be observed without altering the substance.

-    Matter – anything that has mass and takes up space

Pre-AP and Science 7

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Objective

(Student will…)

The student will be able to:

1.        Compare several physical and chemical changes.

2.        Identify examples of physical and chemical changes.

Teacher Activities & Strategies

1.  Bellwork: Please copy and complete.

a.  Define:

-    physical change – the form or appearance of matter changes, but not its composition

-    chemical change – substances are changed into different substances

-    condensation – gas changes into a liquid

-    sublimation – solid changes directly into a gas

-    deposition – gas changes into a solid

-    law of conservation of mass – total mass of the matter is the same before and after a physical or chemical change.

2.        Organize foldable notes on physical/chemical change.

3.        Organize materials.

4.        Dismissal.

Student Activities

1.        Complete bellwork.

2.        Organize and complete notes – physical/chemical change.

3.        STUDY for QUIZ.

Assessment/Evaluation

Organization of notes, placement of materials in appropriate categories.

Academic Vocabulary

-    physical change – the form or appearance of matter changes, but not its composition

-    chemical change – substances are changed into different substances

1.        Describe the development of the cell theory.

2.        Identify names and functions of each part of a cell.

3.        Explain how important a nucleus is in a cell.

4.        Compare tissues, organs, and organ system.

Teacher Activities & Strategies

1. Bellwork: Please copy and complete.

   a. Define:

       - cell theory – states that all organisms are made up of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and all cells come from other cells.

       - cell wall –  tough, rigid outer covering that protects the cell and give them shape.

       - cell membrane – protective layer surrounding every cell

       - cytoplasm – gel-like substance that allows materials to flow inside.

       - ribosome – makes proteins.

       - organelle – structures in the cytoplasm.

       - nucleus – “the boss” – directs all of the cell’s activities; tells the cell what to do.

       - chloroplast – contain the green pigment “chlorophyll”.

       - mitochondria – “powerhouse” – energy is released when food is broken down into carbon dioxide and water.

       - endoplasmic reticulum – “conveyer belt” – moves materials within the cell.

       - Golgi body – packages and secretes proteins into membrane-bound structures.

2. Complete worksheet – Cells – Study Guide and Reinforcement.

3. Discuss.

4. Organize materials.
