Observation Lab






Ok, so here is the first post of the year for chemistry.

Today we began our lab by answering two pre-lab questions. We also briefly discussed the importance of wearing safety goggles at all times while doing any kind of lab experiment. After answering the pre-lab questions, we experimented with calcium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and phenol red solution. We looked at each substance and recorded their descriptions in our lab books. After recording our observations, we placed the phenol red solution, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium chloride into a plastic bag where we also recorded the different reactions that took place. After part A of the experiment, students were asked to think of at least three questions that could be investigated to determine the interactions that were responsible for the changes.
DON'T FORGET, the homework for tonight is to do the WebAssign reading section 1.2 in the textbook and answering the questions that go along with the reading. It's due Friday.

Also, the next scribe is......................................

Congratulations Erika and Mr. Lieberman. I'm excited to see where your classes, and classmates, take the idea of a scribe post. Erika, I'm wondering what three questions you asked?

Keep up the nice work!
