We have learned all the skills we need to be ready for our quiz on Tuesday. We will continue practicing and reviewing Monday then take our assessment the following day.

GOLD TAPE QUESTION: Gilbert N. Lewis is the scientist who developed the diagrams we still use today to draw molecules and their electrons. Lewis also developed what are now known as "Lewis Acids" and "Lewis Bases" Two pieces of gold tape is up for grabs this week! 1) What is a Lewis Acid? 2) What is a Lewis Base?

In class today students embarked on a periodic table scavenger hunt and then colored in their own periodic tables indicating which elements are are metals, metalloids, and non-metals. We also watched an episode of crash course chemistry about the history and significance of the Period Table. Tomorrow we will take a closer look at how atoms bond with each other.

After exploring the Law of Conservation of Mass in lab yesterday, now we need to learn to balance chemical equations. We will continue balancing chemical equations tomorrow using skittles as a model. If you aren't sure how to balance chemical equations, use the video to the right to relearn this important skill.
