Wow, you’ve made it to the end of September!  I hope you’ve had a great month!
 

The book Chemistry on a Budget contains inexpensive chemistry labs that are useful with easy to obtain materials.
 
The early labs include the topics of
Significant Figures, Density (3 labs), the Separation of a Mixture (including coverage of Percent Composition), and Liquid Chromatography.  These are safe labs that cover essential information, giving you time to emphasize Lab Safety and get Lab Safety Contracts signed.
 
There are two versions of each lab, one with a ten-question conclusion and one with directions for a full lab report.  This way the teacher has the option!  Each lab is two pages to allow for one two-sided handout. 
  
You can buy this lab book for $23 at amazon.com or lulu.com. It will take 1-2 weeks to get to you --
Order Now.  It’s a great resource!

Past blog posts about movies you might want to use in your classroom include:
 
04/01/2015            NOVA video "Hunting the Elements”
                                 (2012)
12/11/2015            Video: "The Mystery of Matter" (2015)
02/28/2016            Video: "Does the Ocean Think?"
05/15/2016            Video: Life's Rocky Start

                                 (2015)
07/16/2016            Video: Ancient Navies
 
Most of my blog posts about videos contain Internet links so you can view the movies online.  You’ll have to evaluate what you need – if you don’t have the ability to project the Internet in your classroom, see if your School Library owns any videos or if they can record movies from tv for classroom use. 

You may want to explore how movies can be requested for your Science Department to purchase, as well as what is already owned.  Or, assign to your students as Extra Credit viewing the movie online (submitting 10 handwritten facts to earn the Extra Credit).
 
As I view the series Forces of Nature: Shape and the subsequent Elements (blog post on 9/16/16), it is not very Chemistry focused series and may not be the best choice.  Look at all your options before using it.
 

*This Blog contains several entries that would be helpful to your chemistry classroom.  Check out the Topic List to help you to find past Blog entries.
 
Also, 
Write To Me about your successes, challenges, or questions in the Chemistry Classroom.
 

Remember, buying a copy of the lab book Chemistry on a Budget can be very useful to your Chemistry classroom with labs and class article ideas.


Have a great weekend!
