BVHS CHEMISTRY LAB

Wk#2: January 19-23, 2026 ~ General Chemistry

Essential Question

a) How can the relationship between mass and moles be analyzed to convert between grams and moles, and how does understanding molar mass support accurate comparisons and calculations for different substances?


b) How can analyzing my first-semester performance and learning strategies help me make intentional adjustments to improve my understanding, skills, and outcomes in the second semester?

Learning Target

a) I can analyze the relationship between grams, moles, and molar mass to correctly convert between grams and moles and explain why the calculated values make sense for different substances.


b) I can analyze my first-semester strengths, challenges, and learning habits and explain specific strategies I will adjust & apply to improve my performance/understanding in the 2nd semester.
