Advisory today - SENIORS got information about graduation announcments, caps and gowns, etc. IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW MISSED THIS SEMINAR, SEE ECKHARDT ASAP TO GET THE INFO FROM HERFF JONES!!! DO NOT WAIT TO DO THIS!!!!
General Chemistry:
Today, we graded p. 67 after having a quick bell-ringer formative quiz to check where everyone is at with knowing the layout of the periodic table. Then we chatted briefly about the location of electrons in the atoms (using the Bohr model of the atom) and assigned p. 69-71. Students worked on this for half an hour, then we chatted about any problems that arose. We will grade these pages officially tomorrow.
Also tomorrow, we will do an isotope lab activity and learn about electron configurations. Quiz Friday! :-)
Advanced Chemistry:
Today we discussed more about types of reactions, net ionic equations, and assigned some problems to do for Friday (p. 224 #'s 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32 [16 is Extra Credit]). Tomorrow will be lab day (Advanced Chem Experiment #11 - Cycle of Copper Lab) - the lab will carry over into Friday - no quiz this week. We will quiz over Chapter 5 next Friday and then have the following Monday to review for our TERM FINAL that is taking place on Tuesday October 11 and Wednesday October 12.
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!
