**Chemistry**

Announcements:  

1. Reminder:  Lab Reports Due Tomorrow!
2. Quiz over Scientific Method and Lab Reports on Monday!

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. EALR 2: 9-12 INQA-9-12 INQF: Scientists generate and evaluate questions to investigate the natural world.....Science is a human endeavor that involves logical reasoning and creativity and entails the testing, revision, and occasional discarding of theories as new evidence comes to light.
2. Performance Expectation: 9-12 INQA: Generate and evaluate a question that can be answered through a scientific investigation. Critique questions generated by others and explain whether or not the questions are scientific.

Big Idea:

1. Science requires methods and procedures that scientists use to obtain evidence, which must be clearly recorded and reported to enhance opportunities for further investigation.
