Week 20: 8th Grade Science

Week: 20

Topic: Chemical Interactions:  Observing Chemical Change and Reactions

Students will be able to: 

Describe how matter and changes in matter can be described.  
Explain how you can tell when a chemical reaction occurs. 
Identify what information a chemical equation contains.
Explain what a balanced chemical equation must show.
State the principals of the conservation of mass.

Essential Question:

Where is the evidence?

This week the 8th graders will put their atomic and Periodic Table knowledge to work in the form of chemistry.  They will observe both chemical and physical change by breaking the bonds of magnesium and oxygen to create magnesium oxide.  They will be mixing magnesium with hydrochloric acid to create a pop!  Finally, taking silver out of solution to create copper nitrate.
