CHEMISTRY – So you thought Goodman Road was getting crowded! How’s this for a “high density” city? Here’s the lecture from Friday on derived SI units. Great job on the density problems today! Remember, in chemistry we use math as a tool, therefore we might work problems a little differently in chemistry than you do [...]

HONORS CHEMISTRY – Hey guys, here’s a pic of high density koi that I saw in Hawaii (at the Dole Pineapple Plantation, of all places!). So do you feel comfortable with the derived units/formulas that we discussed? Here’s the lecture from Thursday. Be sure and practice the density problems and let me know Monday how [...]

PHYSICS: Great job guys – who knew water displacement could be so much fun! Thanks Kamren and Matt!! Good job moppers, and fillers, and counters, and recorders! Now for the lab report. Remember to include that final question in your conclusion – “So why can’t some humans float?” And don’t forget – I’m very, very [...]

PHYSICS: So you’re on the lake fishing, when all of a sudden you think you see a snake jump into the boat with you. When you abandon ship and jump headfirst into the water, does the water level in the lake rise, fall, or stay the say? And why? Great topic for discussion! Here’s the [...]

PHYSICS: So when you were floating in the pool this summer, did you realize all that about buoyant forces acting on you? Here’s the lecture from Friday – an intro to Archimedes’ Principle. Great topic for discussion! Have a great weekend! Image source ownedbypugs.com

CHEMISTRY – So you thought Goodman Road was getting crowded! How’s this for a “high density” city? Great job on the density problems today! Remember, in chemistry we use math as a tool, therefore we might work problems a little differently in chemistry than you do in your math class. When working these problems, don’t [...]

HONORS CHEMISTRY – Hey guys, here’s a pic of the high density koi that I saw in Hawaii (at the Dole Pineapple Plantation, of all places!) that I was telling you about in class today. So do you feel comfortable with the derived units/formulas that we discussed? Here’s the lecture from Friday. Be sure and [...]

CHEMISTRY – Hey guys, here’s the lecture from Friday on derived SI units. I think you’ve done a lot of this already, but make sure you understand the conceptual side of density. We’ll work density problems Monday. Don’t forget your calculators!

PHYSICS: Great job guys – who knew water displacement could be so much fun! Thanks Manasi & Nate!! Good job moppers, and fillers, and counters, and recorders! Now for the lab report. Remember to include that final question in your conclusion – “So why can’t some humans float?” And don’t forget – I’m very, very [...]

HON CHEMISTRY: Major day today, huh?!? Good job with the applications of the ideal gas law. Who knew you could go around the world to find density?? I believe you’ll have no trouble with Graham’s law of effusion/diffusion. Can you apply it conceptually? flickr photo by Sanath’s
