Homework - Week Twenty-Nine

4/21/2014

 
M/T: Today you received the last of the chemistry that you should know, organic chemistry.  You can find another copy of the "cheat sheet" below.  You may have noticed that when we talked about this stuff in class that it had a confusing naming system.  No worries, we'll practice.  For tonight I want you to start looking at the ingredients on cleaning products around your home (worksheet is below).  You will probably see some connections with what we discussed today and pH.

In addition to the worksheet, I need you to bring in three labels from foods that you love to eat.  Please check with your parents first before you pull/cut your labels off!


W/Th: Tonight I want you to practice what you are learning by reading an interesting article called DHMO.  You can find it below if you lost yours.

F: We just keep on learning new things about how chemistry affects out life, but we're heading towards testing so we're going to start the review.  So before I see you next I want you to look at the first 5 entries in your notebook.  annalyze them and decide what is the one big question that was answered in that entry.  Write your response in the crack of the entry.  Do this for the first five.  Lastly, I want you to start the study guide I gave you (you can download it too) since we'll be having a test late next week.
