Finish IMF Project

Goal:
Complete the IMF project.

Agenda:
Warmup
Review
Lab Cleanup
Work Time!

Warmup
Log in to Socrative and answer the question, what is the relationship between intermolecular forces (hydrogen bond, dipole dipole, London dispersion forces) and the state of matter (solid, liquid gas) at room temperature?

Review
Why do some molecules form stronger intermolecular attractions than others?

Lab Cleanup
Take care of this place.

Work Time

Lab Check In
Grab a whiteboard marker and use the checklist on your lab bench to make sure your lab has all the right equipment. Let me know if you are missing something.

Prep for Data Recording
At the bottom of the google doc, create a new section called data and observations. Make a table to record the necessary data for your experiment.

Conduct Lab
Carry out your lab! If you would like me to check your procedure to make sure it works come see me.

Work on Slides
If you have time start working on your slides. The google doc should be complete by now.

IMF Experiment Plan

Goal:
Develop an investigation plan and describe the data that will be collected and the evidence to be derived from the data.

Agenda:
Warmup - Annotate Rubric
Start Slides
Complete Experiment Design Plan

Warmup - Annotate Rubric
Your competency is a combination of the Polarity Lab Plan and a Slides Presentation.
    On the provided rubric, make a note of which slide or where in the Polarity lab plan you will show evidence of each of the criteria. You can also view the rubric here

    Start Slides
    1. Have one of your group members make a copy of this Google Slides presentation.
    2. Rename the document Period-First Names IMF Lab
    3. Share the document with your teammates and me (awallace@euhsd.org).
    4. Complete slides 3-5 using the work you did last Friday. 

    Complete Experiment Design Plan
    Work with your group members to complete the experiment design plan and write a procedure to be carried out on Wednesday.
