Visual Journal Solubility Page

Hi Everybody,

Great class today.

I hope you are feeling more comfortable with the Science rubric and that you received some valuable feedback on your 4 solubility responses.

Check out the clip we watched today:
go to youtube type in solutions and dissolving and scroll down to the clip that says lesson 6.3

For Thursday:

You will have the double period tomorrow to work on your interactive visual journal page on solubility...be sure to include the following terms:

soluble                solution                agitation
solvent                supersaturated      solution
particle attraction
solute                   saturated solution
particle collisions
solubility             unsaturated solution
solution                dissolving
insoluble              factors that affect dissolving

Your double page journal spread needs to include colour, text (definitions/examples), and pictures.

Journal Response:

How did the Tide to Go get out the lipstick stain?

What do you suppose raincoats are coated with? Where did scientists get this idea? Explain in detail what happens when raindrops fall on to a raincoat (refer to particles).

I am away tomorrow so please use your class time effectively.

Happy Almost Friday

Hi Everybody,

Great work reviewing your labs today and class and taking the time to rework through your conclusions.  Please be ready to hand in your journals on Tues...I will take about 5-8 at a time so they are manageable.  This way they can be fully assessed using our new rubric.

I thought you did a wonderful job on going through your multiplying integer quizzes question by question and providing feedback.

For Tuesday...
-please look through Mix & Flow of MatterTopic 2 in your Sci textbook and answer the following questions in your journals

1.  What makes materials dissolve?
2.  What is a solvent?
3.  What is a solute?
4.  Why is water considered the universal solvent?  Positive and negative implications must be stated in your argument.

-perhaps a little bit of review on adding/subtracting integers, and your multiplication tables might be a good idea as we dig deeper into division

Have lots of fun at Fall Field Day tomorrow. 

Enjoy your weekend and the extra day off on Monday.

Take care,
Ms. Krushel

Great work in the lab today!

Hi Everybody,
Great work on your classifying lab today.  Please review your notes & pep up your observations & reasons in your data table.

Please work through page 3 of the Math assignment & prepare for your multiplying integer quiz on Wednesday.

Take care & enjoy the beautiful evening.
