Week 29

We have been studying chemistry and having a lot of fun doing it! Here is a song we have been singing about solids, liquids, and gases.


And here is the acids and bases song!



I won a drawing on facebook with EAIEducation and we got a class set of SmartPals. We started using them week with our test prep practice. The kids are able to insert the paper inside and write on it with a dry erase marker. Once we are finished I can take the pages back up to use again later.

We also completed a general characteristic/personality trait inventory to learn a little more about ourselves. Below you will see the bananas. Bananas enjoy planning, fact-finding, organizing, and following directions. They learn best when they have an orderly environment and predictable situations. I am a banana as well!

Below are the melons. They are naturals when it comes to debating points of view and finding solutions. They learn best when they have access to resources, can work independently and are respected for their intellectual ability.

STUDENTS: What have you learned about acids and bases? How do you think it will help you in your life?

  1. I learned that acids can be harmful to you. If there was some suspicious liquid that someone spilled, I could test it to make sure it won't kill me before I wipe it up. That's how it would help me.

  4. Acids on the PH scale are numbers 1-6,7 is neutral, 8-14 is an base. This will help me out when I get older because I'll know what is a base to clean the house with and what kind of acid is dangerous.

    I learned that a acid can be a good thing for you [orange juice &lemon juice] and can be a bad thing for you.Also that a base can be a house hold cleaner.
