Article Review (2nd Part) Tips

For the second part of your writing, keep in mind that the way a person personally reviews something is very closely related to a personal reflection.  Lucky for us, we've done this before!

To help you remember some key words or prompts we used last time we did reflections check out this document (one used in class this past week).

Article Review Summary Tips

Assignment Rubric and Example

If you are working on your summary and need a little help, read on:

1. You've done this before: Don't forget you all picked an article to summarize way back in March.  You can find your Google doc with your work to see an example.  Email me if you can't find yours.
2. Main idea and Supporting details:  Finding these in your article could be very useful.  This organizer might remind you to do this.
3. Share/read other's work: Other people are working on this same project and could provide useful examples for you for you.  Please don't forget to share a link for all to view (see pic below for a reminder of how to do this)
4. Be on time: If your summary is late on Wednesday this makes much more work for you later in the week and maybe even next weekend.

Lesson 5 - How can we tell that a change is chemical and not physical?

Lesson goal:  

You should be able to list the clues that scientists use to know if a chemical change takes place or if the change is just a physical change.

Materials needed: 

Signs of Physical and Chemical Change notes sheet, pencil

Lesson Steps:

1. Listen to this Jing - Evidence/Clues to Chemical Reaction & Homework Night 3
2. Explore headings on pages 81-84 in textbook, hard copies of this book are available in class.
3. Watch videos in this slideshow, use the box on each slide and pick the clues that match the reaction.  Answers to each reaction is found later in the slideshow.
4. Using book, fill out Signs of Physical and Chemical Change notes organizer
5. Share ideas with class

Measuring your learning:  

You will know you are understanding if you can think of at least two ways that show that a chemical change took place.  You will also show you understand this by investigating this for your chemical reaction.  Evidence of a chemical reaction will go on your final project.  

No homework, unless you still haven’t found your chemical formula for your project
