Discussed separation of mixtures (ammonium chloride, sodium chloride and silicon dioxide). Told students to reach chapters in book and look at EVERY example problem in the book to prepare. Frequently give class time to allow students to work together to understand.
Labs will have reagents mixed by students - they will learn to dilute and mix chemicals.
