4. "Committees of correspondence": The Committees of Correspondence were shadow governments organized by the Patriot leader of the Thirteen Colonies on the eve of American Revolution. They coordinated responses to Britain and shared their plans; it's to bring information

5 facts/ details

1. The Boston Tea Party was planned at the Liberty tree.

2. The Boston Tea Party was a Rabble-Rouse that was put together by Samuel Adams.

3. Samuel Adams first job was a brewer, if he had stuck to that we might be singing, "God Save the King" that's the funny thing about History.

4. To make the Boston Tea Party possible, the Bostonians disguised themselves as Indians.

5. One of the first American flags was a flag with a rattlesnake that said, "Don't tread on me" this sign was made to let the English know that they were not scared.

5 Sentences

1. The Committees of correspondence consented to the idea of Paul Revere's ride.

2. A principle (in this case) is a set of value's the colonists were fighting the war because of their principle.

3. The Americans protested on the stamp act and tea tax; the English protested The Boston Tea Party.

4. We probably wouldn't have won if there hadn't been a Committee of correspondence, the Committee of Correspondence got the news to more people and more people joined the militia.

5. The King felt like he was being deteriorated when the colonists wanted their own country.

5 Questions

1. Who owned all the tea in the warehouses? A: The English East India Company

2. What did the Tea Act specify about the tea? A: The Colonists had to be buy their tea only from the English East India Company

3. Why did the Sons of Liberty disguise themselves as Mohawk Indians? A: So they wouldn't be recognized as colonists dumping the tea

4. How many cases of tea were dumped into the harbor? A: 342 cases of tea.

Chemistry Chapter Report for Amazing Kitchen Chemistry Projects You Can Build Yourself

By Cynthia Light Brown

Chapter Name:

  1. List any glossary words and definitions.


     

    Atom: The smallest particle of matter that cannot be broken down by chemical means. An atom is made of a nucleus of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a cloud of electrons.


     

    Proton: A type of elementary particle that has a positive electrical charge and is found in the nucleus of all atoms.


     

    Neutron: A particle of an atom that has no electrical charge and is found in the nucleus of all atoms.


     

    Electron: A stable, negatively charged particle found in all atoms


     

    Nucleus: the central part of an atom, made up of protons and neutrons


     


     


     

  2. List 5 facts/details you learned from the chapter.

    The ancient Greeks discovered atoms.

    Water is made up of molecules.

    Diamonds are the hardest natural substance known.

    The number of molecules you breathe in, in only one breath of air, is more than the number of grains of sand on the entire earth!

    A nanotube is 50,000 times thinner than a human hair.

  3. Summarize the chapter in at least 5 sentences.

    In this chapter they teach you about atoms and molecules and how they make chemical reactions happen. Atoms and molecules are important in most chemical reactions but are so small, most microscopes can't see them. We did a lab project today where the atoms and molecules made chemical reactions because of temperature.


     

  4. What did you learn?


     

    I learned that atoms and molecules are important in most chemical reactions, but are also very different things.


     

  5. Summarize the lab or project for chapter and make any notes for preparation and list the materials needed.

Well we did the lab project before and it wasn't in the book, we boiled the eggs for Easter but they made different chemical reactions


 

Chemistry Lab Report for Amazing Kitchen Chemistry

Date: Earth Day, April 22

Chapter Name: Atoms & Molecules

Lab or Project Name: Boiling Eggs

Materials Needed:

One dozen eggs

Large pot

Cold water

Bowl

Kitchen timer

Preparation Notes for Lab:

We gathered the 12 eggs and a large bowl, the pot, and turned the faucet on cold water


 

Step or Stage 1: What did you do? What do you notice?

We put the eggs in the pot covered by an inch of cold water

Changes in the egg started happening because the eggs were not used to the cold temperature of the water and their atoms and molecules were affected by the change

Step or Stage 2: What did you do? What do you notice?

We put the eggs in the pot on the stove and we turned the stove on a high temperature and waited for a "rolling boil"—a rolling boil looks like the eggs are floating, the bubbles are small and increasing


 

Step or Stage 3: What did you do? What do you notice?

We turned the temperature down once we saw the rolling boil to a medium temp and set the kitchen timer for 10 minuets

Step or Stage 4: What did you do? What do you notice?

When the timer beeped we immediately put the eggs into SUPER cold water. The eggs made the cold water warmer because they were so hot.

The drastic change in temperature hardens the eggs and creates a chemical reaction that changes the density from a liquid to a solid—it is a chemical phase change


 


 

Step or Stage 5: What did you do? What do you notice?

Take the eggs out and carefully dry them & wait until they are totally cool before dying them for Easter or peeling them for a snack


 


 

Copy and Paste any pictures or illustrations of Lab.

*Here's what's going on: the proteins in the fresh egg are

in the shape of tight little balls. When you boil the egg, these proteins

unravel ("denature"), like balls of yarn unraveling into loose skeins. The

strands of protein then get all tangled up with one another, so much so

that they are locked in place and can no longer move. They also lock into

place the other liquid components of the egg, forming all together what's

called a "gel" instead of the liquid you started off with. The gel acts

like a soft, rubbery solid because of the network of protein strands

holding it all together. It's certainly true that when the protein

denatures some chemical bonds are broken, but the most important effect is

the tangling up process.
