CHEMISTRY – Did you feel like today was mostly review? Lot of facts – make sure you can apply them!
HW UPDATE: Homework is just the book work and preparing for symbols quiz. We’re moving the element videos and element research to Monday.
Chemistry 10-16-25 Classification of Matter
CHEMISTRY: Here’s a mixture that looks like it might be worth investigating – bacon caramel popcorn! I mean, I like bacon and I like caramel popcorn, but bacon caramel popcorn? Hmmmm….
So now that you know about mixtures, could you figure out how to separate one? Keep these notes handy!
Physics 10-16-25 Forces and Inertia
PHYSICS: Remind me again why didn’t that pen go flying across the room instead of dropping into the bottle? Hmmm…..
So what do you reckon is the inertia of this car? Great discussion of forces today, and great start today relating mass to inertia, and all of it will lead to equilibrium! Now could you apply what you know to find the mass of your unknown? Again, hmmm….
Chemistry 10-9-25 Physical & Chemical Properties & Changes
CHEMISTRY: Can you describe the physical properties of matter? Lots of review today, and tons of applications! Is melting ice a physical or chemical change? Make sure you can apply what you learned today!
Hon Chemistry 10-9-25 Burning Things & Boiling Water In a Paper Cup
HON CHEMISTRY: Tell me again why things burn. So why did that paper cup of water not burn in the Bunsen burner flame? And you boiled water in it? How cool is that! I mean hot…
Hon Chemistry 10-8-25 Energy, Heat & Temperature
HON CHEMISTRY: Great discussion today on the difference in heat and temperature! Can you apply what you know? So which would be hotter to your hand – having a cup of boiling water poured on it or sticking your hand in a 450 F pizza over? Hmmmm…..

Chemistry 10-6-25 Intro to Chemistry
CHEMISTRY: Now that you know how to use all the tools we’ll need in chemistry, it’s time to start talking about ….chemistry!!
Were you able to able to make applications with the branches of chemistry and categories of scientific work? Don’t forget the applications!
Now it gets interesting! 🙂
Physics 10-6-25 Ch 3 Overview & Rocket Discussion, etc.
PHYSICS: Here’s our look at the chapter 3 test. We also took a minute to talk through the zookeeper-monkey problem and then a long conceptual look at the rocket problem. Below that is an old look at the first part of #62, the accelerating rocket problem with some numbers thrown in. God bless you as you study for the test! Practice, practice, practice!
#62 Accelerating Rocket Problem
Hon Chemistry 10-6-25 Changes & Energy Pt 2
HON CHEMISTRY: Today we talked about how energy is involved in physical or a chemical change. And then we took endothermic and exothermic to a whole new level. Applications, applications! Make sure you can apply what you learned today.

Physics 10-3-25 Jumping on the Moon & the Monkey-Hunter Problem & Ch 3 Test
PHYSICS: Today was a tough day, but a good day! You really are doing a great job with the projectile motion problems. Did you figure out how close you were to the zookeeper-monkey problem?
I decided to give you a bonus and post an old lesson that has the zookeeper problem worked all the way through a preview of the rocket problem. Here is a look at #59 – jumping on the moon, the monkey hunter problem, and quick thoughts about the Chapter 3 test. And below that is an old with #5 from the worksheet worked and a start to the rocket problem.
If you need some inspiration – here are links to some Monkey-Hunter videos
