ü Order numbers, decimals, and fractions from least to greatest and greatest to least. (notes and practice)  

ü Ex: (45, 78, 23, 5, 2, 19)    (45.8, 48.58, 34.76, 34.8, 23.7, 23.67)  (⅗, ⅙, ⅜, ⅓, ⅕, ⅝)

ü Determine which is greater among fractions, decimals, and whole numbers  45 ≤ 48   ,                    ⅗  ≤  ⅔    ,  45.6 ≥ 45.55

ü  Round numbers by identifying place value. (notes and practice)  Ex: round to the nearest tenth: 34.97 = 35, 67.651 =67.700, round to the nearest one hundreds: 1,234 = 1,200

ü  Understands temperature problems with negative and positive temperatures.  (notes and practice)    Ex: The temperature today was 15®C, but dropped last 17®C. What was the final temperature? 15®C -- 17®C = --2®C

ü  Can calculate equivalent fractions, and identify when fractions are equivalent by understanding concepts on factors and multiples and divisibility.  (notes and practice)

ü  Can identify prime and composite numbers and explain why a number is prime. (notes)

1.  Prime Factorization of whole number  

ü  Solve word problems using strategies and steps for organization. (notes)

Science Study Guide, Quarter I

Quarter I, Chemistry

ü  Be able to identify errors in the model of an atom by considering information from the Periodic Table. (videos and notes) See Homework #1

Example: Does Nitrogen (N) have 10 protons and 8 neutrons? Why not? Does Nitrogen have 6 electrons on its first shell? Why not?

ü  Be able to choose any atom and draw an accurate representation of the atom and calculate the neutrons properly. (video and notes)  See Homework #1

ü  Describe the covalent bond of H₂O. (remember to discuss the electrons and the valence shells)  (videos and notes)  See Homework #3

ü  Describe the ionic bond of NaCl. (remember to discuss the electron and the valence shells) (videos and notes)  See Homework #3

ü  Explain why the salt did dissolve in the water from the lab conducted at school. (videos and notes) See Homework #3

ü  Explain some similarities and some differences about either (pick 2 pairs): Mixtures and solutions, Compounds and molecules, Molecules and ions, Pure elements and atoms or two of your choice.  (readings/copies and notes in notebook)

ü  How is the Periodic Table organized? Be specific by using chemical and physical properties, periods, groups, energy shells and more. Include a brief history of the periodic table. (videos, readings, and notes) See Homework #4

ü  Discuss which theory or discovery has influenced chemistry the most.  (timeline in notebook and notes)

ü  How does chemistry affect your world now? Include information about the global water supply, global health, and world nutrition.  (notes from iPad application in science notebook) See Homework #2 for a little information

ü  Make a connection between one historical event in chemistry and one current event that has made something possible today. (Timeline in notebook and iPad notes, your knowledge)

ü  How do you believe chemistry will improve people’s lives in the future? (personal investigation or use of space related article on blog) Include information about the global water supply, global health and world nutrition (iPad notes)  

ü  Design a question or questions about the future of chemistry. (Your brain, your knowledge, your curiosity) 

The Promise and Perils of Mining Asteroids

A new company has joined the ranks of entrepreneurs looking to space for their next economic opportunity.

An artist's conception showing the construction of a large revolving space station.

There are some 9,000 asteroids described as "near-Earth," and they contain several classes of resources that entrepreneurs are now eyeing as economically valuable.
Elements such as gold and platinum can be found on some asteroids. But water, silicon, nickel, and iron are the elements expected to become central to a space "economy" should it ever develop.

Water can be "mined" for its hydrogen (a fuel) and oxygen (needed for humans in space), while silicon can be used for solar power systems, and the ubiquitous nickel and iron for potential space manufacturing.
