  1. Welcome to 8th GradeYour First Warm-up Is... • Write down your homework and leave it out to be signed by me! You should use the same thing to write your homework for all of your classes all week until you get your agenda. • Please make a name tent using the white construction paper…please make your name large and dark • Write your name on the tab of the manila folder and complete the “I Am” poem…tape it into the inside of your folder…THIS FOLDER SHOULD NEVER LEAVE THE ROOM

  2. Assigned Seats • You can chose your seat for right now, please sit there everyday. • Once I feel that the class can no longer handle choosing their own seats I will make a seating chart…it will happen eventually  • If YOU can not handle sitting in the seat you chose or near the people next to you, move before I move you.

  3. Today’s Agenda • Finish up warm-up tasks…take attendance • Pass out schedules, lunch ID’s, How am I Getting Home, Parent Contact Log/Lab Safety Contract • Quick room tour • Syllabus, Rules & Expectations • Getting organized - Interactive Notebook set-up…does anyone need a supply list? • The Mystery of the Swirling Milk Lab! • Explanation of homework: Science Research Brochure • Collection of data folders/set-up for the next block • Ms. Sarnelli’s name quiz

  4. Quick Room Tour • Front boards • Student Center • Computers • Supply Station • Rules & Consequences • Work Baskets • Got Work? • Lab Supply Cabinets

  5. Syllabus, Rules & Expectations • Tutoring times, wiki page, new grading scale • Do you have any questions? • Rules & Procedures • Be Respectful • Be Responsible • Be Relentless…you tell me what these mean

  6. Interactive Notebook Set-up On the First Page of Your Notebook, the Heading at the top of the Page Should be: Chemistry Table of Contents

  7. The first 2 pages (front and back) should look like the chart below. • Start numbering the pages AFTER the last page of your table of contents

  8. Update your table of contents to include today’s activities • Tape syllabus onto page 1

  9. The Mystery of the Swirling MilkLab Investigation • Review of Scientific Method • Intro to Chemistry Concepts Why is the milk moooving?

  10. The secret to the mystery • The secret of the bursting colors is the chemistry of that tiny drop of soap. Dish soap, because of its bipolar characteristics (nonpolar on one end and polar on the other), weakens the chemical bonds that hold the proteins and fats in solution. The soap's polar, or hydrophilic (water-loving), end dissolves in water, and its hydrophobic (water-fearing) end attaches to a fat globule in the milk. This is when the fun begins. • The molecules of fat bend, roll, twist, and contort in all directions as the soap molecules race around to join up with the fat molecules. During all of this fat molecule gymnastics, the food coloring molecules are bumped and shoved everywhere, providing an easy way to observe an otherwise invisible activity. As the soap becomes evenly mixed with the milk, the action slows down and eventually stops. 

  11. What Does Science Mean to ME? • Let’s read over the expectations for the homework and decide what science means to YOU!

  12. Closure • Any questions??? • Collection of data folders • Distribute materials for the next class • Ms. Sarnelli’s name quiz (if we have time) Have a great first day…and bring your cell phones next class so we can go over BYOT expectations!
