Wrk sheet

home work - 1 - 15 and 30

ChemCom (2/7/11)

To start class, everybody got handed 3 paper cups with water inside

Mrs. Simkowski had everbody taste each type of water and decide which kind we liked best, without knowing which is which

Of the people that voted, 8 people liked the filtered, 1 person liked the bottled, and nobody liked the distilled water.

We then did the bellringer which was a graph where we filled in the blanks:

Mrs. Simkowski demonstrated how to filter Crystal Light water

The water started out ORANGE

When we ran it through the coffee filter and funnel, it turned YELLOW

We then used charcoal absorption and the water came out clear

We tested it for electrical current, and it did still conduct electricity

We discovered that Crystal Light water is not only a solution, but also a suspension

We got our tests back and seporated into groups to go over them

After the going over thetest, we took notes (Pages 6 - 9)

During the notes, Mrs. Simkowski gave everybody a periodic table and a folder to put them inside. We got to chose whether we wanted a BLUE or PURPLE folder.

HOMEWORK!
