Correction Scale for TESTS and other applicable assignments......
95 - 99 = 1point\
90 - 94 = 2 points
85 - 89 = 3 points
80 - 84 = 3 points
75 - 79 = 6 points
70 - 74 = 6 points
65 - 69 = 7 points
60 - 64 = 10 points
55 - 59 = 10-15 points
50 - 54 = 15 -20
< 50 = 20 points
***Now that the Benchmark Assessment is complete on the Law of Conservation of
Mass, we are continuing our study of chemical reactions. Here are some
Essential Questions to consider when reading and working at home.
a. What is a chemical reaction?
b. What are the parts of a chemical reaction? (reactants,products)
c. What are the different types of reactions and what is happening?
( Synthesis, Decomposition, SR, DR, Combustion)
d. What is the Law of Conservation of Mass and what does it mean?
e. How do you balance a chemical equation and why?
f. What factors change the rate of a chemical reaction?
g. How is energy involved in a chemical reaction?
(Endothermic vs. Exothermic)
1. Read and Review chapters 3.1 - 3.3 and 4.1 in the Chemical Interactions
text book
2. Section 3.3 Review Questions ARE due on April 19rd.
3. Section 4.1 Review Questions ARE due on April 20th
4. Chemical Reaction Analogies in the format that we discussed in class. They
ARE due on April 19th. An example of the format is listed below....
EX. "A WAVE is LIKE a ROLLER COASTER because it goes up, down and eventually
comes down"
The terms for the chemistry homework assignment are
a. Bond Energy
b. Chemical Bond
c. Exothermic Reaction
d. Endothermic Reaction
e. Solution
f. Solute
g. Solvent
h. Suspension
