(Honor’s and 11th period)
You must bring your booklet and notebook to class EVERY DAY!

2. Your scene will contain:
25pts
25 each
50 each
50 pts
TOTAL
pts
A script
at least two special effects
A procedure for how each special effect will be incorporated into your scene.
A demonstration of your special effect, either in class or on film.
A thorough explanation of the Chemistry behind your special effect
Demonstrate the proper safety precautions throughout the investigation and presentation.
Extra points can be gained by producing a short (1-3 minute movie), especially if it can be posted at schurzhs.org
note: special effects do not have to arise from this chapter
but must be cleared for safety precautions beforehand.

3. Turn to Activity 2 (page 12)
To do part A, we will need a thermometer, ice, a heat source, and a data table.
While two of your partners do part A,
the other two will do part B. (paper, staple, marker, scissors)
Safety: Use caution around heat source and heated objects. Wear safety goggles.
Before you leave, everyone needs to copy the data and observations into their own notebook. Notebooks will be checked every few days, and collected every other week.
We will add an additional lab to the labs written in the book.
In a clear container containing a carbonate beverage, we will add some low density particles (raisins, paper puches, ….) observe the motion of the particles.
In your chemistry notebook, write your observations.

4. Quiz After Activity 2
Draw a sketch of the graph you obtained from heating the ice through the boiling point.
Explain why the temperature of the boiling water didn’t change – even though the water was still absorbing heat.
If you use small changes in your flip book, will the particle appear to go slowly or quickly? Explain.

5. Answers to Quiz After Activity 2
Draw a sketch of the graph you obtained from heating the ice through the boiling point.
Explain why the temperature of the boiling water didn’t change – even though the water was still absorbing heat.
If you use small changes in your flip book, will the particle appear to go slowly or quickly? Explain.
At boiling point, all the
energy goes into removing
molecules from the intermolecular
Small changes make smoother, slower
movement in a flip book because
the changes appear more gradual.

6. Pre-lab Activity 1
Answer the questions as we work our way through the activity.
Read the “Chem-talk” section and answer the check-up questions and the

7. Activity 1: Elements and compounds
Put on safety equipment, and set up the apparatus as described in steps 3 and 4, THEN
Answer the questions on pages 4 -7 in your chemistry notebook as you follow the instructions.
NOW you should be able to do step 5-8

8. Egg-splotion ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) HCl (aq) + Zn (s) 
Balance this in your notebook.
2 HCl + Zn  ZnCl2 + H2 (g)
