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

Note - No Monday meeting due to Labor Day

  1. We’ll begin with catching up from last week and review the fundamentals of chemistry.

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

  3. Note - No journal this week.

 

Day 2: Water Lab

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

  2. We will then break into groups and begin the water lab. This lab takes multiple days, we’ll finish it next week during your first class.

  3. AFTER CLASS, enjoy the weekend!
