PHYSICS: Hey guys, here’s the lecture from Wednesday on the intro to momentum and the impulse-momentum theorem. Great job the problems today! And thanks, Joseph!!
Chemistry 11-30-09 Chapter 4 Test Review
CHEMISTRY: Good luck studying for the chapter 4 test! Here is the vodcast that we did of the chapter 4 review for honors chemistry. I think you’ll find it helpful as well. Have you printed out the study suggestion sheet from Edline? I’m also attaching here. Click on the title to open. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to memorize the things you need to memorize so that you can apply them on the test. And practice, practice, practice, the problems and electron configurations. Ch 4 Study Suggestions
What about applications for discussion? Photoelectric effect, spectroscopy, etc.? Another great idea for studying is to watch the videos that we watched in class that are in the VodPod collection below. Especially good would be Animated Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, and Emission Spectrum of Hydrogen.
BTW – Help session Tuesday morning at 7:15 A.M. Good luck! I’m praying for you!!
Hon Chemistry 11-30-09 p and f-block Elements
HON CHEMISTRY: Welcome back! Here’s an old vodcast on the elements of the periodic table – the p and f blocks. Make sure you go back and practice getting period, block, group, and type of element from the electron congifuration. And don’t forget to go back and look at the nitrogen cycle.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
I hope you’re having a wonderful Thanksgiving! Do you know what I’m very thankful for? You! Thanks for the hard work you’ve put into chemistry and physics. Keep it up and don’t give up. Stay strong and trust in the truth that will never fail, that will endure forever! “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name, for the Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.”
Physics 11-24-09 Chapter 5 Review Problems
PHYSICS: Great job explaining the problems today! So how does the student like being the teacher? Here’s the review YOU gave on the last chapter 5 review worksheet. The sound is really low at the beginning, until Josh begins his explanation.
Chemistry 11-24-09 Electron Configuration Notation
CHEMISTRY: Just when you were getting the hang of drawing arrows, I go and change it! But don’t you think writing electron configuration notation is a whole lot shorter than doing orbital notation? Don’t get me wrong, knowing how to do orbital is great for seeing how the electrons are paired, but this way is waaaay shorter! Here’s the lecture from Tuesday. Don’t forget that you also need to know how to read (only read) noble gas notation and that you need to be able to recognize and explain (not draw) deviant behavior in electron configurations. See you Monday! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Hon Chemistry 11-24-09 s-block Elements
HON CHEMISTRY: Here are the notes on the elements of the s-block – everything from bananas, to bones, signal flares to street lights. Don’t forget to pay close attention to properties (physical & chemical), occurence, and uses. I’ve put some really interesting videos on some of the more “explosive” elements in VodPod collection below.
Physics 11-20-09 TEST CHANGE!!
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!!
Chemistry 11-20-09 Orbital Notation
CHEMISTRY: Great work today! 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!
Hon Chemistry 11-19-09 Periods & Block of the Periodic Table
HON CHEMISTRY: Great job today! 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!
