PHYSICS: Good to be back together talking Bernoulli! Great start on setting up the Bernoulli problems today. My best hint – Remember the concepts behind the formulas you want to use!!
Chemistry 3-6-26 Atoms & a Grain of Salt – Sizing Atoms to Scale Step 1
CHEMISTRY: Here’s the very short overview of today’s activity. If you were absent today, be sure and watch to know what to do and mistakes to avoid!
You are only doing Step 1 today. The Monday we get back, we’ll continue the activity. Have a great spring break!!
Physics 3-6-26 Bernoulli, Pt. 1
PHYSICS: Were you amazed at the effect of change in surface area on the velocity of water, and especially the pressure of water, flowing through a tube? Thaaaaat explains how a calm ride on a lazy river can turn crazy in just a few seconds!
Today we concentrated on quantitative applications of Bernoulli’s Principle and a few practical applications. When we get from spring break, we’ll begin taking a look at the problems and a couple more cool ways to apply Bernoulli!!
Chemistry 3-5-26 Intro to Atomic Theory
CHEMISTRY: Here’s the our discussion on how we ended up with the atomic theory. Had you ever heard of Lavosier, Proust, and Dalton?
Pretty impressive little theory that Dalton came up with, huh? Were you surprised as you made comparisons with the Modern Atomic Theory? Could you now take it a step further and show connections between the three laws we discussed today and Dalton’s atomic theory?
Chemistry 3-3-26 Lab Report for Airbag Landing Mat Design Challenge
CHEMISTRY: Now that you’ve got a great airbag landing mat, how are you going to show your customer that it’s a good one to try? One way is to present all your observations and conclusions in a formal lab report. Do you remember how? Here’s our brief reminder.
UPDATE: Be sure to get an UPDATED copy of the Airbag Landing Mat Design Challenge lab sheets. The Conclusion topic has changed a bit, and now there are also questions. Don’t leave this part out of your lab report!

Physics 3-2-26 Problem #33,Beach Ball in a Pool & Week Info
PHYSICS: Quiet class today, but great stuff accomplished! We miss our mission trip friends. Here’s an overview of the week (and what you missed if you were absent today). Then we tackled #33 from the homework. Good job with that!!

Hon Chemistry 3-2-26 Period, Block, Group, Type
HON CHEMISTRY: Great job today! Isn’t the periodic table an amazing thing? It will prove to be a very valuable tool for you!
Now that you know how to write electron configuration, are you starting to get the hang of using it to determine the ID of an element? What about information like period, block, group, and type of element? Practice, practice!
Physics 2-26-26 Pascal’s Law
PHYSICS: Did you realize that fluids could produce that much force? Make’s you wonder at the awesome way God designed those beautiful under water sea creatures to withstand so much pressure, doesn’t it? This little creature is a lionfish from the waters of Lembeh, Indonesia.
Here’s the lecture on Pascal’s law and hydraulics and the like.
Hon Chemistry 2-26-26 Blocks of the Periodic Table & Noble Gas Notation
HON CHEMISTRY: Wow! You learned a lot today! Don’t we serve an awesome God?!? You probably knew the periodic table was really organized, but did you realize that it was THAT organized? Awesome!
HW UPDATE: Read carefully below!!
For Thursday HW – Due Monday: • Write electron config. notation for: Ca, Sm, Cu, Sn, Cs ion, I ion, AND Pg. 125-128: 33, 34, 38, 40, 41. TPC is now due as it says on the syllabus, due Monday, 11:59 PM. You might want to get a head start since book HW will be assigned that night also.
For Friday HW: Everything I just wrote for Thursday HW since we won’t have class Friday. We’ll do Friday’s lesson on Monday and then have that HW for Monday. Test is moved to Thursday, March 5.
Practice what you’ve learned!! You’ll get the hang of it and be as laid back as this “noble” fellow in no time! 😉
Hon Chemistry 2-25-26 Electron Configuration Notation
HON CHEMISTRY: just when you were getting the hang of drawing arrows, I go and change it! But don’t you think writing electron configuration notation is a whole lot shorter than doing orbital notation? Don’t get me wrong, knowing how to do orbital is great for seeing how the electrons are paired, but this way is way shorter!
