Week 4 - Biology

Properties of Water

This week will be dedicated to reviewing significant figures and trends we can observe through the Periodic Table of the Elements while also discussing chemical bonds, and the four emergent properties of water.

BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, you should be able to:

  • define all terms from the previous 3 weeks,

  • describe the difference between ionic, covalent, & metallic bonds,

  • describe the trends we observe within the periodic table,

  • differentiate covalent bonds on a water molecule from hydrogen bonds between water molecules, and

  • list & describe the four emergent properties of water

Your Week Ahead

Day 1: Chemistry of Life Review

  1. We’ll begin class with grading your work from last week.

  2. With a few classes finishing up the measuring challenge last week, we’ll also use this class to review your content videos and move through the Chemistry of Life packet.

  3. Note - No journal this week.

Days 2 & 3: Water Lab Introduction

  1. We’ll use today to describe the unique properties of water that assists in giving life to this planet.

  2. We’ll end with a quick discussion surrounding the bonds that exist among a water molecule then describe water’s four emergent properties.

  3. This lab takes multiple days, we’ll hopefully finish over these two days.

  4. AFTER CLASS, finish the chemistry review for me to check it your first class next week.

IMPORTANT DATES
