 8th Grade

Date: September 24, 2018
Topic: Acids, Bases, and Salts
Learning Goals: 

  • Differentiate between acids and bases.
  • Identify examples of acids and bases.
  • Distinguish where acids and bases fall on the Ph scale (Potential Hydrogen Scale).
Home Learning: Students will complete vocabulary index cards and study their Cornell notes



Acids, Bases, and Salts Vocabulary

  • Compound- composed of two or more elements (mixture)
  • Base(Alkaline)- substance with a pH of 8-14
  • pH Scale- Measures how acidic or basic a substance is
  • Acid- substance with a pH of 0-6
  • Neutral- Substance that does not have a positive nor negative charge
  • Salts- combination of acids and bases

Students will use the following tutorial to create Cornell notes:









Acids and Bases





7th Grade
Date: September 24, 2108
Topic: Temperature
Learning Goal(s):Understand that all objects have temperature due to kinetic energy of their molecules.
Home Learning: Students will complete assignments not finished during class and study for their test on Friday.

Temperature Vocabulary Definitions 

  • Temperature- the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material
  • Average Kinetic Energy- the average kinetic energy in in a material
  • Molecule- a group  of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound
  • State of Matter- is one of the four distinct forms that matter take on
  • Liquid- is a substance with a definite volume but not a definite shape.
  • Gas- is a substance that does not have a definite volume or shape.
  • Solid- is a substance with a definite volume and shape. Particles are close together and do not move freely.
  • Melting Point-The process in which a solid becomes a liquid
  • Boling Point- the temperature at which a liquid boils and turns into vapor
  • Freezing Point-When temperatures of a liquid are lowered, causing a solid to form.
  • Law of Conservation of Energy- Energy cannot be created nor destroyed only transformed


Students will watch the following and create Cornell notes:
