Review warm-up
State the purpose

II. The Lesson:

Activity #1: Review warm-up (A Review of Section 2.4)
Activity #2: Review problems in Basic Math Review: Percentage (Quant Only)
Activity #3: Review problems in Basic Math Review: Ratio and Proportion (Quant Only)
Activity #4: Discuss matter, pure substances, and mixtures (”Matter.ppt”)
Activity #5: Identify the following as an element, compound or a mixture:
1. Sodium chloride, NaCl
2. Sand
3. Iron, Fe
4. Tap Water
Activity #6: Discuss the separation of mixtures (”Matter.ppt”)
Activity #7: Separate the following mixtures:
1. Salt from a salt water solution (The water does not to be collected)
2. Sand from a water/sand mixture (The water must be collected)
3. Iron from an iron/sand mixture
Activity #8: Explain how a distiller works and collect some distilled water in the process
Activity #9: Prep the “Measuring Liquid Volumes with a Graduated Cylinder” Activity
