Mrs. Williams’ Class

Tonight’s homework is to read about atoms and their parts and fill in the Reinforcement sheet. Tomorrow you will be introduced to your Tech Project. Hint: It has something to do with ATOMS.

Today we took the Chapter 3 test in groups.
Homework tonight is the Elements and Compounds reading sheet. A periodic table may be helpful for the examples.
Tomorrow we are in the Tech Lab. We will be signing in to the online textbook. If you have internet at home this means you won’t have […]

Today we finished the Changes of State chart by filling in Vaporization, Condensation, and Sublimation. Examples tomorrow.
Tonight’s homework - Molecules on the Move. In each situation, label what the change of state was (example: solid to liquid or liquid to gas).

Boyle’s Law with the vacuum chamber today - decrease pressure = increase volume of a gas.
Charles’s Law with the balloon on the soda bottle - increase temperature = increase volume of a gas.
Tonight’s homework is to TEXT MINE looking for information in your book about melting and freezing to be able to fill in your […]

Well, conference week is finally over. Thank you to all of the parents with whom I met.
Students, it is a regularly scheduled day Monday. Keep track of your pink “Mythbusters” paper.
Today we turned in the green Compressibility Challenge/Vanilla Balloon Challenge/Gas Density papers.
We move on to Changes of State next week: melting, freezing, vaporization, […]

Today we created quite a mess! But it was fun, right? We continue our investigation of solids, liquids and gases with a focus on gases today and tomorrow. Tonight make sure you have calculated your air and carbon dioxide densities. Tomorrow we will look at helium, and then I will give […]

All right, 8th graders! It is time to start working again. Tonight’s homework is the worksheet “States of Matter.” Questions 1 - 3 can be written on the back if you do not want to waste another sheet of paper. Tomorrow we investigate compressibility.

We are in our second day of Family Life with Candy Jensen. If you forgot your “Life Line” at home, make sure to bring it in to me so I can give you credit for it.
We will finish the “Drops on a Penny” lab on Thursday.
If you are in my Period 3 class and […]

Last night’s homework was “Make a State-ment.” It is due today.
Today we will begin investigating surface tension in two different liquids with the lab “Drops on a Penny.” We will not finish today. We will continue next Thursday and the lab write-up will be due next Friday.
Monday begins Family Life with Candy […]

Look to yesterday’s post to see about tonight’s homework.
When you think about chemical and physical changes think about this:
Did the object stay the same, but you just changed the size, shape, color, texture, hardness, or state (gas, liquid, solid)? If so, you have made a PHYSICAL CHANGE.
Did you create something new, something that […]
