Well, here’s the last lecture from chapter 1 – an overview of the elements and intro to the periodic table. I don’t think I’ve talked so fast in a long time – And I wasn’t even here! Did you feel like it was mostly review? Let me know how the element handbook search is going. [...]

CHEMISTRY: Here’s a mixture that looks like it might be worth investigating. I mean, I like caramel popcorn, but bacon caramel popcorn? Hmmmm…. So now that you know about mixtures, could you figure out how to separate one? Keep these notes handy! Meanwhile, you’ll get to finish the chapter tomorrow. Good luck as you finish [...]

PHYSICS – We finally made it to the end of chapter 3! Here’s the lecture from Thursday on relative motion. (And I think there is an angular projectile motion problem at the end.) You know, we’ve done most of this already. The only new part is the motion of objects in the same direction and [...]

PHYSICS – Don’t give up! I told you they were tough, but you can do it! Here’s the short review we did Wednesday of a couple of angular projectile motion problems. Don’t give up!! flickr photo by f-l-e-x

CHEMISTRY – Great job on the lab today. So did you see the Law of Conservation of Mass today? Why not? What are you going to do differently in the lab tomorrow, and why do you think it will work? Here’s the the format for Part 1 and 2 of the lab write up, just [...]

PHYSICS – Great job today! Here’s the lecture from Tuesday on angular projectile motion. The number one thing to remember – Never use the resultant velocity to do more than find the vertical and horizontal components! And vertical is vertical, horizontal is horizontal and don’t ever mix the two! flickr photo by gpwarlow

HON CHEMISTRY – For all you late night chemistry students – good luck studying for the chapter 1 test! Here’s a review on chapter 1 that might help. And don’t forget, if you are getting lost with everything you need to know, or if you’re not sure how to study, click here for the Chap [...]

PHYSICS – Great job today, and applying stuff from the last chapter no less! Here’s the lecture from Monday on horizontal projectile motion. Just go slow and easy and you’ll master it in no time flat. Tomorrow let’s try projectile motion at an angle. Watch out for squirrels throwing nuts! flickr photo by RunnerJenny

PHYSICS – I do believe you are well on your way to conquering the component method of vector addition. Good job! Here’s the lecture/practice from Friday. Pay careful attention to the smallest details – it can make a huge difference. Happy Homecoming!! flickr photo by grewlike

HON CHEMISTRY – Two days in one! Well, not really, but since we’ve had a crazy couple of homecoming schedule days(AND YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED SOMETHING!), I’m posting a lesson that has all the info in one. So…..here’s the last lecture from chapter 1 – an overview of the elements and intro to the periodic [...]
