 * Virtual Lab [|"How are Physical and Chemical Changes Distinguished?"]. Project this page and read through the directions on left together with the class.
 * Students will have to copy the table and response questions on to a sheet of notebook paper so they can fill them out. (**click on the Table/graph and Journal icons on the left** **side of the screen, __below the directions__**). Students may work with lab partner to complete the lab.
 * STUDENTS - This will help prepare you for the upcoming lab, "Identification of Chemical Reactions", so pay attention to what you learn here!
 * Today**


 * Read and discuss pages 62-63 in book. Discuss different types of chemical reactions and relate to “Balancing Equations Online”
 * Review how to tell when a chemical reaction may have occurred. What do you look for? What are the clues?
 * Students who need to finish "Balancing Equations Online" can use the chrome books to finish that. This should be done for WEDNESDAY.
 * Students who are done with "Balancing Equations Online" can work on __**"Balancing Act"**__. This is also due tomorrow. [[file:Balancing Act.PDF]]
 * Students who are done with both of those assignments may use the remaining time for a study hall.
