Here is the guide for highlighting the vocabulary sheet for my classes.
Homework for Wednesday 9/27 is to fill in all of the terms from the Atoms Unit list and complete the first 5 words tonight due tomorrow. The drawings in the Example boxes MUST be colored (You may NOT color with highlighter). Students may use other sources to look up synonyms but I recommend locating and bookmarking an online copy of the 8th grade science textbook CPO Focus on Physical Science to find good, grade level appropriate definitions and diagrams . The 7th grade textbook doesn't have chemistry in it but the 8th grade one does. There are many versions available online.
Here is the Vocabulary List for Atoms so far:
Homework for Tuesday 9/26:
Students need to complete the Page 1 circle map using the Unit 2 Atoms vocabulary list. Many of the words will be used multiple times in 2 or 3 boxes. They are to use bullets and labeled diagrams and the vocabulary to explain what they know so far about these 4 concepts about atoms. They are NOT to do the figures under the circle map yet, except period 1, who can do Fig. 1 early if they want to.
