PHYSICS: Great job on the problems so far!! Here’s the review from today – dart in the block of wood, bird on the swing, car crash, and a start on the billiard balls. This cute little bird isn’t on a swing, but he is one I came beak to nose with on a mission trip to Costa Rica!
On to a more practical application tomorrow. Speaking of which, any questions? Light bulb? Questions??

CHEMISTRY: So ordinarily it looks like just any old hunk of rock, but this is a picture of uranium ore under UV light. Pretty cool, huh?!? Here’s our beginning discussion of the unique properties of radioactive nuclides.
Speaking of radioactive isotopes, the instructions for the isotopes research is here on the website. Holler if you have questions.
Have any of you decided you want to get a head start on the half-life simulation lab? Don’t let it stress you out! It’s one of easiest labs you’ve done, but it does require that you READ the instructions on the syllabus and the website (The post on the website will be up soon, be sure and look for it.). If there is something you still don’t understand, make sure you ask me, I’ll be glad to help!

HON CHEMISTRY: Great start on quantum numbers today! Wow, it was a lot. Confused yet?
Don’t worry – today you learned all the background information about quantum numbers, tomorrow we’ll put it all together and it will begin to make sense.
FYI – in case you didn’t catch them earlier, here are the video clips that we watched in class last week. You really may want to watch them again as you study for the test.
The Electromagnetic Spectrum (not the song!)
Emission Spectrum of Hydrogen
Animated Quantum Video is the one that explains all about why scientists began to believe that electrons could be acting as waves
Quantum Mechanics explains more about the role of the men we studied today in the development of the quantum model of the atom
