Group Quiz

1. Select one scholar in your project group to be your scribe. 
2. Scribes, open this quiz. 
3. Work with your project group to complete the quiz. Feedback will be immediately sent to your scribe. 

Brainstorm
What different substances would you be interested in comparing polarity?

Notes: Sample Types
Follow along and take notes on when to use different types of samples and why.

Sample Selection and Research
With your project groups decide on 2-4 substances that you want to test in your laboratory investigation. You can select from this list or come up with your own with my approval but you must have a reason WHY you want to compare those things. 
Once you have made your selection, complete the second part of your Polarity Plan document from yesterday for the compounds you chose. 

Exit Slip
One per group.
On the provided 1/2 sheet write: 

1. Your team member names
2. your research question
3. the compounds you selected
4. Your hypothesis predicting which one is more polar

Polarity Laboratory Techniques

Goal:
Differentiate when, why, and how to use melting point tests, boiling point tests, evaporative cooling tests, chromatography, and distillation to study different compounds. 

Agenda:Team Selection
