Fall Break is coming!

Students,

We will meet next week, but Fall Break is coming… October 6-10.  No class or homework that week.

Your new homework is posted.  Try this link for an interactive exercise.  Don’t forge to log in first.  This exercise will get you ready for what we are going to do during lab time on Thursday.  Pay no attention to the programming side of things (on the left), just play around with the reaction side.  When the reaction is balanced, all of the atoms will be used up.  Cool, huh?

Have a great week!  See you next Thursday!  jb

Lab 3.1, homework, etc.

red cabbageStudents-

You guys did a great job with the electrode lab today.  If your class did not get to complete both labs today, you will complete Lab 3.1 next week.

Also, I’ve noticed that about half of you are not logging into Khan and viewing the videos I’m sending.  Please, please, please do it this week and the following weeks.  Things are about to get really serious!  Here is a video for this week.  Please log in and view it.  Then practice with this exercise.  You will be glad you did.

Remember that when you take your test this week, you are to use the Periodic Table linked to the homework page… not the one in the book and not the one we made notes on in class.

Have a great weekend!  jb

 

Periodic Table

Students,

Please print two copies of the first page of the Periodic Table listed on the homework page for class this week.  We will do some coloring and highlighting on one in class.  The other copy will be a clean copy that you will use for the rest of your chemistry tests.

In class, in addition to the Element/Prefix Quiz and notes, we will attempt to complete both labs (3.1 & 3.2).   Please dress appropriately and bring both prelabs!

See you soon! jb

A change of plans- sort of…

As you know by now, due to the power outage from the weather, my B & C classes were canceled. The new homework is posted.  We will try to complete both labs next week. I will pick up two week’s of work next week from the B and C classes.

Quiz is Sept 18- study the flashcards… as I stated in class, spelling counts!

See you next week!  jb
