Use what talents you possess, for the woods would be silent if no birds sang except for the best. – Henry van Dyke
CHEMISTRY: Good luck tomorrow! Here’s the vodcast from today on our short test review. Poor Daphne and gummy bear!
Practice tonight, and make sure you have everything memorized. You can get help in memorizing the 17 types of chemical reactions on quizlet.com (and also on the polyatomic ions from last semester). Here’s a link to the 17 types of reactions on quizlet – http://quizlet.com/11793692/chemistry-chemical-reactions-flash-cards/. Thanks, Nicholas!!
Make sure you are also practice balancing equations. You can go to sciencegeek.net and find lots of interactive practice on balancing equations in the Chemistry Review Activities under Unit 3 and maybe some others. Also, the vodcast from today has the answers to the back page of Worksheet 4. Practice doing those, that will help a lot!
Another source of help is your online textbook at my.hrw.com. Click on the “Visual Concepts” or “Review Activities” tabs at the top of the chapter page for the extra tutorials and quizes. I love you and I’ll be praying for you!!

Thank you for posting these links, Ms. Skinner.
May 9th, 2012 at 8:31 PM
These really help!
May 9th, 2012 at 8:57 PM
Ms. Skinner, do we need to memorize the order of the activity series for the test?
May 9th, 2012 at 10:42 PM
Macy – Yes! Good luck!
May 9th, 2012 at 9:22 PM
Thank you Ms. Skinner. This helped me study alot.
May 9th, 2012 at 9:23 PM
I hope I do well on the test
May 9th, 2012 at 10:14 PM
Those links really helped me study a lot.
May 9th, 2012 at 10:27 PM
Thank you for this post. It’s very helpful during the study routine
May 9th, 2012 at 11:08 PM
still kinda confused on whether to tell if an element is diatomic or not..do you know which vodcast talks about that?
May 10th, 2012 at 10:29 PM
Rachel – There is a table of the diatomic elements in this chapter, I believe. They are H, O, N, F, Cl, Br, and I. (Except they all need a subscript of 2!)
May 10th, 2012 at 12:29 AM
thank you for posting this!
May 10th, 2012 at 4:55 PM
Ms. Skinner, is our homework for tonight still to write up the lab, even though we didn’t get the three equations back to see if we wrote them right?
May 10th, 2012 at 10:27 PM
Sarah – You are right! I completely forgot about that. We’ll talk about the procedure for the lab tomorrow and do the lab on Monday – I think.
May 10th, 2012 at 10:09 PM
Studying those reactions I think really helped on the test today!
May 10th, 2012 at 10:41 PM
Thanks for the review I think I did well
May 10th, 2012 at 11:56 PM
Those balancing equation worksheets helped me learn the reactions faster.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:34 AM
Thank for posting the Chapter 8 review and giving us another balance equation sheet. This really help me study to the test and helped me memorize my Activity series better. I hope i made a good grade on this test. I can’t wait to do the lab today too.
May 11th, 2012 at 7:31 AM
I feel confident about this test.
May 11th, 2012 at 8:09 AM
Hope we can get our test grade really quick this time~
May 11th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
Ms. Skinner, i feel like i did well on this test!
May 11th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Ms.Skinner, the balancing equations worksheets really helped me study for the test!
May 11th, 2012 at 4:09 PM
I cant believe that was our last chemistry test!! And this is our second-to-last webpost….until senior year(:
May 11th, 2012 at 4:33 PM
It feels weird that we are almost done with chemistry! I will not know what to do after!
May 11th, 2012 at 5:12 PM
Can’t believe we are almost done!
May 11th, 2012 at 5:17 PM
Those ACT test were interesting!
May 11th, 2012 at 5:30 PM
I am looking forward to seeing what I made on this test.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:44 PM
This lab seems like it will be very interesting.
May 11th, 2012 at 7:44 PM
when do you want me to make up that lab from the home missions trip?
May 11th, 2012 at 8:53 PM
I think I did really well on this test!
May 11th, 2012 at 9:04 PM
Will we get the ACT test back after they are graded? I know some people are curious about how they did.
May 11th, 2012 at 9:44 PM
I think these equations have been my greatest challenge. Especially balancing them..
May 11th, 2012 at 10:58 PM
That standardized test thing was…. Interesting, is it going to be a grade?
May 11th, 2012 at 11:02 PM
Im going to enjoy doing our lab next week.
May 11th, 2012 at 11:19 PM
Im excited to do that lab on Monday!!
May 13th, 2012 at 2:13 PM
I’m seeing lots of things about a test! And I missed friday…is that when it was??
May 13th, 2012 at 9:39 PM
Ashley – An ACT prep thing. Talk with me tomorrow and I’ll explain how you’ll make it up.
May 13th, 2012 at 8:30 PM
pretty excited about the lab tomorrow!!
May 13th, 2012 at 11:28 PM
Are you excited that school’s almost out?
May 14th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
~ excited about the lab~
May 14th, 2012 at 10:21 AM
Thank you for all the exam review time I know it will help a lot.
May 14th, 2012 at 10:55 AM
I wish I would have prepared better for this test.
May 14th, 2012 at 4:50 PM
The lab we did today was really cool!
May 14th, 2012 at 8:30 PM
the lab we did today was so cool! burning chemicals is exciting haha
May 14th, 2012 at 9:14 PM
This really helped me pass my test Ms. Skinner!! Thank you soo much for showing me this year that I can do anything I set my mind to. I know God placed me in this class for a reason and I’m finally seeing the blessing of this class. I dont see how anyone can get through it without trusting the Lord! Thank you for being a great Christian example and teacher!
May 14th, 2012 at 9:18 PM
I really like the quote and verse on the bottom of the syllabus so true!
May 14th, 2012 at 9:28 PM
Ms. Skinner! The pen lab was so awesome! I don’t know why people were telling us it wasn’t.. I can’t believe this is our last full week of chemistry.. This year has been so much fun!
May 14th, 2012 at 10:58 PM
I can’t believe our year of chemistry has gone by so fast! I really liked both labs we did today. They were really fun!
May 14th, 2012 at 11:24 PM
Can’t believe this is the last web post in chemistry.
May 15th, 2012 at 7:37 AM
the lab we did yesterday was really cool!
May 15th, 2012 at 10:30 AM
Can’t believe that this is our last week of chemistry!
May 15th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
Is the senior Chemistry exam review the same as what we’re going to get?
May 15th, 2012 at 2:44 PM
I cant believe this is the last week of chemistry!
May 15th, 2012 at 3:30 PM
This is just one of the chapters that just came natural to me.
May 15th, 2012 at 3:57 PM
Two of the questions on the exam review are the same-62 & 63. Are they supposed to be?
