CHEMISTRY: Here’s the our discussion on how we ended up with the atomic theory. Had you ever heard of Lavosier, Proust, and Dalton?
Pretty impressive little theory that Dalton came up with, huh? Were you surprised as you made comparisons with the Modern Atomic Theory? Could you now take it a step further and show connections between the three laws we discussed today and Dalton’s atomic theory?
HON CHEMISTRY: Great job with quantum numbers today! Wow, it was a lot. Confused yet?
Don’t worry! Today you learned all the background information about quantum numbers. Monday we will begin putting it all together 🙂
Here are some video clips that begin to show the connection between our lab on spectroscopy, the hydrogen emission spectrum, and how we can identify elements – including the one from today on why it’s all important. They’ll be very helpful as you study!!
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
PHYSICS – Here’s our very short look at simple harmonic motion and pendulums. Now head off and start playing with the pendulum simulation.
PHYSICS: So what do you reckon is the spring constant of a trampoline spring? Here’s our discussion from Friday on simple harmonic motion and springs.
Did you figure out what was wrong with that problem? 😉

Great discussion today on the Lost in the Danakil Depression project. Here’s the recording from today. Good stuff!
DUE Monday, March 25, by class time. This first worksheet is due for ALL 23 the items on the list. Submit Google Doc to your Chemistry Shared folder. Make your own copy before you start filling it in: FIRST Lost… Project Research Sheet

Welcome to a great adventure! You’ve learned so much this year – not just concepts, but skills, and you’re still learning! I can’t wait to see how you are going to apply it all!
Here’s the place where you can post your questions about the “Lost…”. First answer – the due date is Tuesday, April 16.
A really useful hint? Go back and re-read the project again – this time with a highlighter. It’s amazing how much I miss the first time I read something. So what’s your next question?
Here’s another copy of the first part of the project, if you need it:
Lost in the Danakil Depression – Regular Chemistry
Lost in the Danakil Depression – Honors Chemistry
DUE Monday, March 25, by class time. This first worksheet is due for ALL 23 the items on the list. Submit Google Doc to your Chemistry Shared folder. Make your own copy before you start filling it in: FIRST Lost… Project Research Sheet
CHEMISTRY: Here’s our super short look at the homework from today. It’s important enough to post and review though, because we talked about ways I’d ask you to apply these concepts on the test!

PHYSICS: Good review today, are problems and concepts starting to come together? So here’s a look at some of the concepts and problems from chapter 8. And don’t forget about the hollow ball! And lift!
Help session tomorrow morning, 7:30ish AM
HON CHEMISTRY: So what do you figure is the half-life of a banana? But I digress…. Here’s our work on half-life problems.
Have fun with the half-life simulation lab! Be sure and post your data in the Half Life Lab web post by the time listed on the syllabus. Don’t forget to include pics and your graph! The lab report is to be submitted as a PDF 2X by the due date listed on the syllabus. 🙂
HON CHEMISTRY: Hey guys – this is where honors chemistry will post results for the Half-Life Simulation lab. You’ll just list your data from the first data table as a comment – just like you comment every week, except this time you are just listing the data from the first data table.
Remember, you don’t have to use candies; you may use coins or anything else that has two sides. Please note that you are to post the number of “radioactive” nuclides remaining after each toss.
Just to clarify, everything on the lab sheets will go in your lab report on that you will submit as a PDF to Google Drive and TurnItIn.com – Title, Objective, Procedure, Observations (with data table), Conclusion, and Questions. Don’t forget that your graph needs to be either a full page graph that you do on Excel or a similar program, or you can draw a full page graph on graph paper, scan a very clean, sharp copy and copy it into your lab report. And don’t forget that the analysis questions, calculations, graph, etc., go after your conclusion.
Happy counting – and wait until AFTER the lab to snack!! 🙂
