Our latest chemistry endeavors have been focused on investigating oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions.  In doing such, students have used the insights gathered in class to prepare a lab to analyze the reaction between copper and silver nitrate.  

Day 1 of experimentation began last Friday, and the guiding questions for the activities are available below.

Continuing where we left off last week, we are now learning how to translate chemical reactions.  Given a chemical equation, students should be able balance it and translate it into written form.  Likewise, when provided a written or dictated chemical reaction, students should be able to translate it into a balanced chemical equation.  

Below is a worksheet for practice and reinforcement in these essential skills.  The worksheet is due by Wednesday Feb. 6th by the beginning of class.

Next week students will take the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE).  This is a requirement to graduate, and the math section will cover topics up to Algebra I.  

Earlier in the semester, students were given a packet of practice problems to help with preparation for the exam.  Below is an answer key and a packet that has detailed explanations for the problems.  I recommend to my students to take the practice test, note any questions that cause difficulty, and ask for clarity before taking the test next week.
