Day 1-2:
  - "What are Products and Reactants" notes including differences between physical change and chemical change.
  - Through observation, determine whether a change is physical or chemical.
  - Identify different types of physical and chemical changes.

Day 3:
  - Students are given the "Chronological Order of the Atomic Theory" work sheet.
  - The class discusses the progression of the atomic model, the contributors, and why the model must be
     occasionally changed.

Day 4:
  - Study the periodic table.
  - Identify the location, charge, and relative sizes of neutrons, protons, and electrons.
  - Elaborate on neutrons and the meaning of isotopes, atomic mass, and mass number.
  - Assign "Isotopes, Atomic Mass, and Mass Number" work sheet.

Day 5:
  - Quiz on the "Chronological Order of the Atomic Theory."
  - Look at imbalances in the number of protons and electrons and develop a definition of a "charged particle."
  - Assign the "Elements" naming sheet.

Day 6:
  - Go over the "Chemistry- Elemental Symbols and Molecule Contents" work sheet and OH.
  - Assign the "Chemistry- Elemental Symbols and Molecule Contents" work sheet.

Day 7:
  - Discuss the conservation of energy and the equation E = mc².
  - "Balancing Chemical Equations" OH.
  - Jube-jube exercise transforming products into reactants exemplifying the conservation of matter.
  - Begin the "Balancing Chemical Equations" worksheet.

Day 8:
  - Continue the "Balancing Chemical Equations" worksheet.

Day 9:
  - Quiz on balancing chemical equations
  - "Forming Precipitate from Ions in Solution" overhead notes.
  - Begin the "Ion Chart" worksheet.

Day 10:
  - Talk about crystalline structures and what we are doing in the "Ion Chart" worksheet.
  - Assign the "Ion Chart" worksheet.
    *extra curricular activity- those finished early can build a crystalline structure from http://www.webelements.com.

Day 11-15:
  Acids and Bases Work Booklet- Over the course of the next five days, students have to complete the acids and bases work booklet. There are a total of three labs in the booklet, three quizzes, and an exercise in pH indicators.
quizzes: Just like televisions Amazing Race, the acids and bases quizzes are like road blocks. In order for the student to move on to the next activity, they must complete the quiz with a mark of 80% or better. The student may write the quiz as many times as they wish. Once they have completed the roadblock, they can choose to re-write the quiz if they received less than 100%.
laboratories: The instructions for the laboratories are in the work booklet. All required supplies to complete the lab are located under labeled orange sheets that have been placed in various locations around the room. All laboratory reports are due the next class day following the expiration of days set aside for the "Acids and Bases Work Booklet."

Aside from practice in the laboratory, the ability to distinguish between acids and bases, and furthering
the students understanding of chemistry, this exercise was developed to challenge the students time
management abilities and help individuals learn that success comes with practice and persistence.

Day 16:
  - Discuss the definition of an inorganic salt.
  - Practice naming some inorganic 'molecules.'
  - Assign "Naming Inorganic Molecules" worksheet.

Day 17:
  - Discuss the definition of a covalent molecule.
  - Practice naming some covalent molecules.
  - Assign "Naming Covalent Molecules" worksheet.

Day 18:
  - Assign "Practice Naming Covalent and Inorganic Molecules."

Day 19:
   - Practice exam for review.

Day 20:
  - Take up the practice exam.

Day 21:
  - Unit Exam.
