Block day -- basic chemistry

Today we are going to focus on basic Chemistry.
We are going to go through the PowerPoint for Chapter 2 very quickly (look at the tab labeled "Chapt Obj, Vocab & PP for the information)

Then, you are going to have some time to use basic household items to observe Chemistry.  For this assignment, you need to have 

• evidence that you have experimented with each set of substances, 
• explain what is chemical concept is being demonstrated with the reactions you see 
• why this chemical concept is important to understand in a biological context

If time allows, you will have the opportunity to finish up the Water Lab that is due on Aug 29th.  Other than the block day, you won't have time to work on this lab in class before it is due.
