Chemistry 11-20-13 Polymers

CHEMISTRY: We finally finished the chapter! Did you realize molecules could be that large? And so many of them. But don’t you think polymers are cool? Here’s the lecture from Wednesday. Don’t forget the Polymer Worksheet and the work from the textbook. Put the answers on sheets of notebook paper.

Some items for contemplation: why are certain plastics recyclable and others not…and what about dishwasher and microwave safe? Hmmmmm…

  1. Today, I literally went home and inspeced all of my bottles, trashbags, and most of my containers to see how recyclable they were! It’s so cool how chemists learned about polymers and have been able to incorporate that into man-made items for human use! “Too cool for school” Mrs. Skinner, Too cool!

  2. These polymers are interesting the way they are constructed with the branch things and connectors or even the just side by side ones
