Physics 9-12-13 Intro to Vectors
PHYSICS – Hey guys, great job today on the intro to vectors – graphical vector addition, resultants, and the like. Have you done anything like this before? We’ll spend tomorrow practicing adding vectors graphically. Great start today! Don’t forget your protractor and graph paper Monday!
Hon Chemistry 9-12-13 Intro to Chemistry
HON CHEMISTRY: So 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? We’ll finish talking about the properties of matter on Monday. Don’t forget to check your syllabus for homework. You might want to go ahead as soon as you can and begin memorizing the symbols of the elements, as well as the atomic numbers and mass numbers for elements 1 – 30. Is that something you’ve had to do in your other classes?
Now it gets interesting!
🙂

CHEMISTRY – Can you believe it? We finished the chapter today! Here’s the brief lecture from Friday on direct and inverse proportions and then the beginning of our overview of the chapter 2 test.
Speaking of tests, we’ll have another help session for some of the harder problems on Monday morning at 7:15. BTW – go to Edline and look under “Tests” and you might find something that will help a lot as you begin to study. Yes, it’s time to begin studying; no, it’s not too early. And if you need extra practice on anything, don’t forget the help session Monday. (Sorry! Not Wednesday, Monday!) Begin making a list of the problems you need help with or questions you have.
Also, don’t forget to check out the Interactive Review Games with your online text and also sciencegeek.net. Great practice with both memorization, concepts and problem solving! God bless you as you begin studying! I’ll be praying for you!!

Are you becoming more comfortable with working problems? When selecting formulas, it’s always a good idea to ask yourself “Why?”. Why can you use this formula? Why is it legit? Why is it the best one? Is there a better route to the solution? And then, continue to practice them over and over til it starts to become second nature! Btw – did we come to a final decision about a help session Tuesday morning?
I really appreciate your work this week! Have a great weekend!! 🙂
