Your objective is to create a Prezi that teaches your peers about solutions, acids and bases.
1. Complete research on solutions, acids and bases online...take notes in Pages.
-----Include important scientific terms.
-----Describe concepts in your OWN words.
-----Choose the MOST important facts.
-----Find illustrations or pictures that help explain the concepts.
-----Provide useful examples.
-----Use online resources. Here's one to get you started. http://www.chem4kids.com/
-----or you may log in to the textbook here: https://www.pearsonsuccessnet.com/snpapp/login/login.jsp
2. Create your Prezi
-----Go to the following link and sign up for a FREE Prezi account with your school email (yourname@mssd14.org):
http://prezi.com/profile/signup/edu/
-----Take a BRIEF moment to explore Prezi, just to get an idea of what you can create.
-----Create your Prezi!
-----When you have completed, email the Prezi to me....click on "share"...then the envelope!
3. Take the following quiz on solutions, acids and bases to demonstrate your learning!
-----Log in to www.quia.com (your username and password were typed in your "Notes" app...because it is different from your other usernames and passwords.)
-----The quiz is labeled "Solutions, acids and bases"

Online Fireworks Lab
1. Create a Pages document labeled "Fireworks Online"
2. Go to the following link:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/fireworks/gallery.html
-Read the page. At the bottom, you are instructed to "Go to Name that Shell". Click on "Quicktime". Look at each firework and the name associated with each. Click on one video and try to identify the different fireworks, recording them in Pages. Check your answers on the link provided within the tutorial.
3. Anatomy of a Firework
- Go to the following link:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/tech/anatomy-of-a-firework.html
-Click on "Launch Interactive"
-You will have to click on and read each part of the dissected firework to answer the following questions.
-----A. What makes a firework "lift off"...describe.
-----B. How are fireworks timed for intricate shows? Describe.
-----C. Describe how pyrotechnicians create color.
-----D. Why does timing matter?
-----E. What makes the firework go "boom"?
4. Science of Fire
-Go to the following link:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/science-fire.html
-Click on "Launch Interactive"
-Complete the virtual lab by following each instruction, then answer the following.
-----a. What are the three things necessary for a match to light?
-----b. Describe why carbon appears on the glass at the end of the experiments.
5. Pyrotechnics
-Go to the following link:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/teachers/physics/pyrotechnics-elemental.html-Click on "View"
-Take a look at some of the elements on the Periodic Table that are used in Fireworks.
-----Writing Prompt: Imagine you have a friend who has never experienced a fireworks display. Describe the sights and sounds that he or she will experience, while indicating the elements that cause those sights and sounds to occur. Write a paragraph of your description using information from the link above.
6. And...moving into ionic and covalent bonds: Sugar and Salt Solutions
-Go to the following link:
http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/sugar-and-salt-solutions
-Choose "Run Now" (green button), and another window will appear, choose "Ok", and be patient while the program loads.
-Select the top "Water" tab
-Add salt and describe what happens to the molecules when they are added to water. Is this an ionic or covalent bond (in the salt)?
-Remove the salt and add sugar, what happens to the molecules when they are added to water. Is this an ionic or covalent bond (in the sugar)?
-Select the top "Macro" tab. Create a data table in Pages to record different concentrations of salt and solution conductivity. Add salt to the water, record the concentration, and test the conductivity. Do this five times with different concentrations of solution.
-Create another data table to record sugar. Do the same, but with sugar (be sure that you have removed all salt from the water).
-Compare the conductivity of the salt and sugar solutions, describe...how does this relate to ionic or covalent bonds?
-Describe the following terms in relation to this tutorial: solute, solvent, solution and concentration.
6. Email the Pages document to me...EVEN IF IT IS INCOMPLETE!!!!
7. Watch the movies, below, if time allows...(find some headphones)
