1. warm up: How did the Quick Lab page 400 demonstrate the law of conservation of mass>

RESPONSE: We made models of the reactants and in order to show the product, we models of the the products. We noticed that we used all of the atoms from the reactants to make the product, there were no atoms left over on the reactant side, and np need for any new atoms on the product side.

2. AC only: we wrote a paragraph explaining how the quick lab activity helped us to understand chemcial equations

3. Mini lab identifying physical & chemical changes and the evidenc to support each

HOMEWORK: bring in your recipe and research On Wednesday. On the back of your recipe you must: identify the active ingredient that you are researching, include 3-5 things discovered from your research, your written prediction of what could happen if the active ingredient was left out of the recipe
