CHEMISTRY: Wow, you did a great job today! Did quantum numbers begin making more sense when you started using them? Good work today on orbital notation. I think you’re going to be seeing arrows and numbers in your sleep!
Be sure and practice with the homework tonight, and don’t forget to use the Aufbau “chart” that you learned to draw!!

PHYSICS: Ohhhhhhh, so that’s how that trapeze guy stays up there! Wait – what’s the pole for?? Great opportunities for discussion and application!?!
Here’s the discussion on how stability relates to center of mass. At the end, a couple of torque problems from the homework, Torque Worksheet 1.

CHEMISTRY: So which are they? Are electrons particles or are they waves? Here’s the lecture from Thursday. If you’re still having questions, you will not only want to watch this vodcast again, but also you might watch this video clip that we saw in class today on Quantum Mechanics, and also the one from yesterday – Animated Quantum Mechanics.
By the way, speaking of Quantum Mechanics, did you read the cartoon? 🙂

PHYSICS: Do you feel better about the torque problems? Here’s the intro to center of mass, and then torque problems at the end.

HON CHEMISTRY: Great start to a new chapter! I love that you are going to be learning to research some really cool stuff about the elements on the Periodic Table.
Here is the intro the the history of the periodic table and and intro the cLAB: Element Reverse Scavenger Hunt. In addition, I’ve spliced the brief intro notes I gave you for each block onto this one vodcast. Please let me know if it is too long for you to open, and I’ll go back and post it by pieces!

CHEMISTRY: I figured anybody who ditched his honeymoon to finalize his work on atomic theory deserved to have his picture on our website. (And, by the way, great job making like electrons today – way to role play!)
So, do you think he’s right? Here’s a link to a short video clip that begins to connect everything together with the Spectroscopy lab you’ve been doing: The Electromagnetic Spectrum

PHYSICS: Welcome to the first day of a brand new chapter in physics – one of the last we’ll do on mechanics!! Here’s the lecture on torque. So how’s the balance in your life right now?

CHEMISTRY: Fun field trip today!! Good job coming up with examples of the photoelectric effect. What? There really aren’t tiny people living in boxes above the doors at Wal-mart? And I just thought of another one, what about those automatic flush toilets!
What did you think about the problems? Again, make sure you not only memorize formulas, but also be careful to learn the symbols and units for each of the quantities you’re going to use, it’s easy to get them confused!

CHEMISTRY: So tell me again, if we’re supposed to be figuring out electrons, why are we studying waves? Here’s the lecture from Friday on just that. Make sure you know the types of electromagnetic radiation and the uses of most of them (all except for long waves). And just in case you really need to sing that song again, here’s The Electromagnetic Spectrum Song
How did you like the light problem formulas – so far? We’ll explore wave problems further next week – be sure to bring a calculator to class!

HON CHEMISTRY: Well, he may be noble, but I don’t think we were talking about the same thing today. I’m pretty sure you weren’t this laid back in class!
How do you like noble gas notation? Practice what you learned today. You’ll get the hang of it in no time. Lab Wednesday, but first, let’s do an overview of the test on Tuesday!
