CHEMISTRY: Wow! There’s a ton of interesting and important stuff to know about the elements! To make things a bit easier for you, I’ve consolidated the notes on each block into three separate vodcasts. Don’t forget to pay close attention to properties (physical & chemical), occurrence, and uses. As you are studying, make sure you [...]

CHEMISTRY: Great job playing with blocks today! Did you realize there was such incredible organization on the periodic table? And are you starting to get the hang of using the location of elements to tell what the electron configuration is? Now you know how I did it! Tomorrow, let’s take it a step further. Cartoon [...]

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. If you want to see some really interesting videos on some of the more “explosive” elements, check out [...]

HON CHEMISTRY: Isn’t the periodic table an amazing thing? It will surely 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? This vodcast from last year will go [...]

HON CHEMISTRY: From Tuesday, here’s the brief, brief intro we did on the history of the periodic table – right before you started pretending to be Mendeleev. We missed you Candice. Happy new baby in your family! Image sorce http://www.daviddarling.info/images/noble_gas_discharges.jpg

Well, here’s the last lecture from chapter 1 – an overview of the elements and intro to the periodic table. I don’t think I’ve talked so fast in a long time – And I wasn’t even here! Did you feel like it was mostly review? Let me know how the element handbook search is going. [...]

HON CHEMISTRY – Two days in one! Well, not really, but since we’ve had a crazy couple of homecoming schedule days(AND YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED SOMETHING!), I’m posting a lesson that has all the info in one. So…..here’s the last lecture from chapter 1 – an overview of the elements and intro to the periodic [...]
