In this chapter, we will learn to write and use acid/base and neutralization reactions. Acid/base reactions involve the exchange of hydrogen ions (protons) from one substance to another and explain the corrosive nature of many substances. This is a key component of cooking and flavor as well. Many of our favorite foods owe their taste to their pH levels.
Until we return to school, all work and progress logs will be submitted online. Below, you'll find a link to a folder containing copies of the progress log (you'll need to make your own copy) as well as a video showing you how to do it. Remember - don't share the progress log with me until you're ready for it to be graded!
Click HERE to access the folder on Google Drive containing the Progress Logs.

The files available below are copies of the materials provided in class. The versions below are in color and should be used for quick reference or to make copies if you are unable to pick up a set in class.
Work through the videos and matching notes below at your own pace to learn the basics of each concept in this unit. Pause and play frequently - be an active learner!

Open the "Practice and Review" folder on schoology and complete the matching Self-Check assignments for the notes above. These short assignments will test to see if you have a basic understanding of the topic. You may earn up to 1.25 points on your progress check if you make a 100. If you're struggling at this point, join the mini-lesson in class!
These self-grading assignments present a wide variety of challenging real-world problems. Complete them to prove your mastery of each topic. Your score on the practice set (PS) determines their worth on your progress log:
Passing = 0.5 points / 90%+ = 1 point / 100% = 1.25 points
Chemhelp reviews are larger practice sets which contain a sampling of easy, medium, and hard questions from each section. They are scored in the same manner as practice sets, above.
You may also complete the reviews on schoology found in the "Practice and Review" folder. These reviews consist of a random set of questions pulled from the test banks and are scored in the same way as practice sets.
