08/25/15 - 1/2 Chem 1H - LAB: Part 2, continued/Processing


Today's Agenda

Our Focus Question:  What practices are followed to ensure safety in the laboratory?

Goals
  1. Identify and describe appropriate dress for laboratory investigations. 
  2. Identify safe and unsafe laboratory conditions and behaviors. 
  3. Follow best practices in the handling of chemicals and equipment in order to minimize exposure to chemicals. 

Activities
  1. Bell Ringer
    1. Pick up your goggles, and report to lab.  Let's finish up.
    2. Listen for timing and clean up instructions at the bell.
  2. LAB: Physical and Chemical Changes, Part 1
    1. Safety
      1. Materials bench and fume hoods
      2. Starting and stopping for how to demos
    2. Processing (Here is digital copy of the lab)
    3. Lab - Part B
      1. Safety and Demos (during lab)
        1. How to light a burner
        2. How to filter a mixture

          5. Heating sucrose
          6. Mixing sodium hydrogen carbonate and HCl
          7. Describe how you were able to decide whether an observed property was physical or chemical.
          8. Explain what criteria will you use to distinguish between a chemical change and a physical change.
