Multicolored electrolysis

Multicolored Electrolysis

acid and bases indicators electrolysis

Materials: petri dish universal indicator solution sodium chloride, NaCl, small amount 9 volt battery electrode wires with alligator clips (preferable red and black)

Procedure:

1.       two pencils sharpened at both ends, or two paper clips distilled water—take pictures.

2.       Fill a petri dish with distilled water.

3.       Add a small amount of salt and stir until dissolved.  —take pictures

4.       Add enough universal indicator to give a rich green color —take pictures.

5.       Attach each of the wire alligator clips to one end of each pencil lead. Attach the other ends of the electrodes to the battery poles, the red wire to the positive pole, the black wire to the negative pole. Turn the projector on.

6.       As electrolysis progresses, color changes will begin to occur.

7.       Place a niobium magnet in the middle and discuss what happens.

Discussion:

1.       Why is the universal indicator green when you first add it?

2.       Why can we use the pencils to run a charge.

3.       What is the color at the cathode?

4.       What is the color at the anode?

5.       What happens when you place the niobium magnet?  Why?

6.       What is the equation for the electrolysis of water? Without e and volts

7.       Why can we dump the solution down the drain?

Parent meeting

It was an impressive showing at the parent meeting as I ran out of handouts--I made 100 copies.   I ran out on the way to M5.  Really nice to see M6 parents one more time as they're about to graduate.  Gam has returned.

Giving alot of assessment this week with most levels having a quiz.

m1 biomes
m5 chem/bio have unit tests
m6 chem has their unit test

Should be a fun week before the long weekend

any questions please feel free to email me
gary

bonus

what fish are we using?  what species

M1 fish lab

1.  describe what happened in the experiment and propose an explanation for your observations.

2.  explain why some of the jars changed color.  the bromothymol blue will turn yellow in presence of carbon dioxide

3.  describe how plants and animals are dependent on each other.

4.  make a prediction about what will happen in one week.

5.  if anything happened, try to explain why.  sunlight causes the plants to give off oxygen

Bonus: Find me due July 5

M1--anything virtual lab on terrariums

M5--a website that has limting reagents

M6--a case study of genetic disorders

Agenda for week June 27, 2016

M1  Terrarium project

M5  presentations due

topics:  Aqueous solutions

flatworms
In Cinch, there are four online assessments that will prepare you for the exam.

M6 unit test for chemistry on Thursday at 8th period

topics:  Oxidation reduction, linkages DNA

High Scores for quizzes/tests

M1:

Pon, Ta, and Milo  100/100

M5: Biology:  Poom, Nina, Amm, Lotto, Guy, Fah, Pang, Shaq, Gifted, Boss  100/100

M5:  Chemistry:  Poom, Fah, Er, Guy

M6 Biology:  Proud 200/200

M6 Chemistry:  Mint 85/100

Debate Activity: first class THW Ban guns

Our first class will be a demo debate by our senior members and then, we will proceed to work on PM speeches for next class

Mr. Gary's Class 2016

Mr. Gary is teaching M5 and M6 Biology and Chemistry as well as M1 Add Science.  His class lists are to the right.

M1, M5,  and M6 should have a gifpal and the first lab posted on their bloggers by today June 16, 2016

Welcome to a brave new world
