SBEC Chemistry and Physics http://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org Use what talents you possess, for the woods would be silent if no birds sang except for the best. - Henry van Dyke Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:34:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 Physics 11-20-09 TEST CHANGE!! http://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org/2009/11/20/physics-11-20-09-test-change/ http://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org/2009/11/20/physics-11-20-09-test-change/#comments Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:53:14 +0000 Ms. Skinner http://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org/?p=1260 PHYSICS: Well, the more I thought about it, the more realized it just wouldn’t be a good idea to have the test either Monday or Tuesday. I hate to move it to after Thanksgiving, but I think it would be best. We’ll finish correcting the chapter 4 problems and finish the lab on Monday, practice all problem solving on Tuesday, review the Monday after Thanksgiving, and take the test on that Tuesday – December 1. Let me know if you have questions or concerns about this.

Here’s the very brief vodcast from Friday – just a tiny bit of review. I think I went over the answers on the pg. 190-191 review problems, and we also started brainstorming on how to work #17 on pg. 191. See if you can work it now yourself. Have a great weekend!!

Are you starting to see arrows everywhere? Be sure and practice. Things to know: how many types for each orbital and the Aufbau chart! Homework for Friday night is Thursday night’s homework. Practice, practice, practice!

Isn’t the periodic table an amazing thing? It will prove to be a very valuable tool for you! Are you starting to get the hang of using electron configuration to determine the ID of an element, and vice versa? And what about Noble gas notation? It’ll be waaaaaay easier now! Practice, practice!

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. If you didn’t hear the lecture today, this is for sure one that you want to watch! By the way, we’re officially one day behind, so tonight’s homework is to complete Wednesday’s homework (and SItN).

We’ll add this little bit of chapter 7 to the chapter 5 test. I don’t think you’ll have any trouble with efficiency and mechanical advantage problems. Lab tomorrow!
