Thursday 9.15.11

Apologies to everyone about the lack of updating... let's get back on track.  :-)

Thanks to all who came to conferences; anytime you would like an update on grades, feel free to check Infinite Campus (have your student log in with their e-locker ID and password if you do not have a parent portal ID and password) or contact me at trimblem@davenportschools.org. I am sending home grade sheets with students for parents to see, sign and return by Monday 9.19.


General Chemistry:

Yesterday and Today, we discussed lab write-ups (the measurement lab in particular) and went over the Whatsa Matter pages in the binder.  We also started finalizing your notes from Chapter 3 over the scientists / history of the atom / discovery of the sub-atomic particles; we finished up those notes on Thursday.

Tomorrow (Friday) will be another quiz, journal, and a fun activity.  The quiz will include the Chapter 1 material, the math we've been working on for SEVERAL weeks, and the new information this week from the history of the atom / discovery of the sub-atomic particles.

The Lab Report for the Measurement Lab is DUE MONDAY!!!


Advanced Chemistry:

This week, we have been finishing up Chapter 3.  Advanced Lab #7 was done on Tuesday (we're getting dry masses today and tomorrow) and today we did AP Chem Lab #1.  Both lab write-ups will be due on FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 23rd. 

There is a quiz tomorrow over Chapter 3.  Study your homework assignment we graded on Monday 9.12!!

Lab reports for Advanced Lab #5 (chocolate milk) was due on TUESDAY 9.13 and the re-writes of Advanced Labs #1, 2, and 3 were due on WEDNESDAY 9.14.  Turning them in late is better than not at all...

I wish you all a wonderful weekend and a Happy Homecoming!!  GO FALCONS!!!!  :-)
