Grade 8: Week of February 28th to March 4th

We had a very successful last week exploring the properties of matter. Students used different substances such as vinegar and baking soda to test chemical reactivity, bent substances to test their malleability and ductibility, calculated the density of various objects, and finally tested various objects for their solubility. Students will hand in their "Properties of Matter" web tomorrow and will take their small test on Properties of Matter on Wednesday.

Students will have homework every night this week since we are beginning the periodic table and much review is needed to familiarize oneself with it. We will learn how to read the periodic table, and examine elements' atomic number, number of electrons in the outer shell, element symbol, and isotopes.

We will begin reviewing for the E.O.G. in March.
