We are still working our way through chapter 4 of MiddleSchoolChemistry.com. We've worked through the lesson on energy levels and valence electrons. Today we talked about covalent bonding, double bonds, and ionic bonds. Then we put together a contraption to separate the hydrogen and oxygen in water! This one we did with Mango's help:
 |
| Submerged test tubes filled with water (no air bubbles) in a mason jar full of water |
 |
| Placed wires under each of the test tubes without letting any air into the tubes! |
 |
| Set-up Success! |
 |
| Wires connect to 9 volt battery... |
|
This one will sit on our table for a few days while we watch the tubes fill with hydrogen and oxygen, as the water molecules are blown apart by electricity!
