General Chemistry:
We discussed conversion factors a bit more and worked some examples. There was time to work on p. 13-23 (excluding p. 20-22!!) - this is due Friday (tomorrow). We will grade this first thing. We also reviewed significant figures and went over the answers to the 3 problems assigned out of the book on this topic. Finally, we discussed what to expect on the quiz and reminded students to have a calculator.
Tomorrow will include a check for the homework (p. 13-23 excluding p. 20-22), a QUIZ, and a journal.
Please remember to bring in any paper towels, soap, sanitizer, kleenex, and any signatures on the syllabus, safety contract, parent forms, etc. as soon as possible - each of these is worth some points for you!! Don't drop the easy points!! :-)
Advanced Chemistry:
Today was Lab Day. :-) Advanced Chem labs (Appendix H in your binder) 1, 2, and 3.
Tomorrow we will check the Chapter 1 homework, discuss how to use the CRC to look up information (like densities), and have time to finish up any data collecting for the labs. If time we will discuss more about the lab write-ups.
Please remember to bring in paper towels and any signed syllabi, safety contracts, parent forms, etc. as soon as possible they are worth points!!
The purpose of this site is two-fold: (1) keep parents and students informed of day-to-day activities of the classes I teach and (2) provide additional/advanced/current information about chemistry for your enjoyment.
Have some fun!
