8th Grade Science
September 30th- October 4th

South Dakota Science Standard(s) Covered:
 8.P.1.1. Students are able to classify matter as elements, compounds, or mixtures.
8.P.1.2. Students are able to use the Periodic Table to compare and contrast families of
             elements and to classify elements as metals, metalloids, or non-metals.
 8.P.1.3. Students are able to compare properties of matter resulting from physical and chemical
             changes.

Monday
bulletIdentify the chemical symbols of elements.
bulletIdentify the different parts of an atom.
bulletDetermine the atomic number, atomic mass, & the # of protons, neutrons and electrons for each atom.

Assignment:   Element Symbol Quiz #3. (24)  Atomic Math Practice. 

Tuesday
bulletIdentify the chemical symbols of elements.
bulletIdentify the different parts of an atom.
bulletDetermine the atomic number, atomic mass, & the # of protons, neutrons and electrons for each atom.

Assignment: Atomic Math Quiz (25).  Drawing a Bohr Diagram (26).
Wednesday
bulletIdentify the chemical symbols of elements.
bulletIdentify the different parts of an atom.
bulletDetermine the atomic number, atomic mass, & the # of protons, neutrons and electrons for each atom.

Assignment:  Whiteboarding - Drawing a Bohr Diagram.

Thursday
bulletAtoms are made of extremely tiny particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
bulletProtons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, making up the nucleus.
bulletElectrons surround the nucleus.
bulletProtons have a positive charge.
bulletElectrons have a negative charge.
bulletThe charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite.
bulletNeutrons have no charge.
bulletSince opposite charges attract, protons and electrons attract each other.

Assignment:  Static Electricity Lab (27, 28, 29).
