7.  The word halogen comes from the Greek words meaning “salt former.”  Sodium Chloride, or table salt, is composed of the halogen chlorine and the alkali metal sodium.

8.  Chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers show their nutrient content with three bold numbers on the package. These numbers represent three different compounds: Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potash (Potassium), which we can also describe with the letters N-P-K. The three numbers listed on fertilizer labels correspond to the percentage of these materials found in the fertilizer. What does each nutrient do? In addition to other properties, Nitrogen helps plant foliage to grow strong. Phosphorous helps roots and flowers grow and develop. Potassium (Potash) is important for overall plant health

9.  You will need your Science notebook and a pencil  You may not look up the answers to the questions using your SNB  There will be no running  You must remain standing during this lab.  There will be no talking  If you have a question raise your hand.
