Posted on by

CHEMISTRY – Are you ready? God bless you as you study! Here’s the overview of the test that we did in class today. Speaking of videos – have you watched the video clips on Cu, P, and Si? You can find them at www.periodicvideos.com.

Make sure you aren’t just reading your book and notes. First, memorize the facts, then go back and make sure you can apply the concepts. Study examples, make your own examples, practice making questions. 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 Chapter 1 Stuff to Know & Study Suggestions sheet.

Also, don’t forget the great review games that are in the Student Premium section of the online textbook. You can do this – I believe in you! I’m praying for you!!

Hon Chemistry 10-17-16 Chemical Formulas – Part 1

Posted on by

HON CHEMISTRY: Great start on writing and naming chemical formulas! What’d you think? Do-able? Absolutely!!

Today we concentrated on binary ionic compounds today; tomorrow we’ll do compounds with polyatomic ions. We’ll go kind of slow to begin with, but make sure to take time to practice, practice, practice, and learn it step by step. You’ll be as lost as ball in high weeds if you let yourself get behind!

Physics 10-17-16 Forces & Intro to Newton’s Law of Inertia

PHYSICS: Great job today presenting your Alternative Assessments! So what’s your theory about the cause of motion?

I love Newton’s first law – the law of inertia! One reason – you get to meet Julius Sumner Miller!

So where do you see the law of inertia in action in your world? Hey, if mass is a measure of the inertia of an object, could you use what you know about mass and inertia to find the mass of an unknown object? Hmmmm……..
