PHYSICS: Will it break?!? Good luck – but of course it’s a lot more than luck! Don’t forget what you learned about impulse and change in momentum. And bouncing! Don’t forget to bring a light bulb. Or two? And it would be a great idea to go back over the Lightbulb Drop Challenge sheet.

PHYSICS – Happy Friday! Thank you for being so flexible all week with our Smart Technology issues!!
God bless you as you continue to prepare for the test! Here’s a review of some of the last problems. You are doing a great job on them! Don’t forget about the connection between the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy. And speaking of connections, how are you doing with applying the concepts?
Gotta love these high speed pics!
CHEMISTRY: Hey guys! Here’s the lecture from today – fission and fusion, and the end of chapter 21! Have you started studying? Be careful and don’t take the test for granted! Here’s a copy of the Chapter 21 Stuff to Know & Study Suggestions sheet.
Make sure you practice half-life problems and nuclear equations. Also, make sure you’ve memorize the nuclear symbols for alpha particles, beta particles, positrons, neutrons, and protons. And then there are tons of notes on the conceptual stuff. Properties of radioactivity, people, types of radioactive decay, applications of radioactivity, definitions, definitions, and definitions!
Practice everything! And did I mention, PRACTICE!! God bless you! I’ll be praying!!

HON CHEMISTRY: This is just a deviant little block of elements, isn’t it? Here are all the notes on the d-block metals – the transition metals, and also the notes on the f-block. Don’t forget that there are a couple of things from the d-block that I want you to research for yourself: the role of transition metals in gemstones (know colors and elements) and the role of transition metals in alloys (know names, elements and uses).
Have you checked out periodicvideos.com/? It’s a great resource for information on the elements!

Hey guys – this is where 7th Period Chemistry posts results for the Half-Life Simulation lab. You’ll just list your data from the second data table as a comment – just like you comment every week, except this time you are just listing the data from the second data table. Don’t forget that your results must be posted by Friday, Jan. 11, by midnight. The lab report is due written up in your lab book on Monday, Jan. 14.
Remember, you don’t have to use candies; you may use coins or anything else that has two sides. Please note that you are to post the number of “radioactive” nuclides remaining after each toss.
Just to clarify, everything on the lab sheets will go in your lab book. Title, Objective, Procedure, Observations (with data table), Conclusion, and Questions. Don’t forget that your graph needs to be drawn on graph paper, folded in half, and attached in your lab book. It can be stapled or taped (neatly, nothing sticking out of the lab book). And don’t forget that the analysis questions, calculations, graph, etc., go after your conclusion.
Happy counting – and wait until AFTER the lab to snack!! 🙂

PHYSICS: Who knew ping pong balls could bring so much fun! So why did they shoot so far- you figured it out yet?
You did a great job on setting up the problems in class today – now on to working them tonight! How are you doing? Check for connections between the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy. You can do it!

CHEMISTRY: Radioactive isotopes all around! Did you ever dream there were so many applications of radioactivity? Thanks for the great job on adding to the lecture! This is a pic of a test used to check on blood flow through the heart during a stress test. Fun, huh!? Click on the link below the pic to learn more from Cedars-Sinai hospital.
Here’s the lecture from Wednesday. Let’s finish the chapter tomorrow and then test on Friday!
Help session tomorrow morning, 7:15ish A.M.! And click here for a copy of the Chapter 21 Stuff to Know & Study Suggestions sheet.

HON CHEMISTRY: Here are all 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. We’ll officially finish the notes on the s block tomorrow, but I thought you might like to have them all in one place for the future.
If you want to see some really interesting videos on some of the more “explosive” elements, check out this link – http://periodicvideos.com/ Oh, and did you find the periodic table drawing instructions? I’ve posted them under the Worksheet tab.
