Physics 1-15-15 Momentum Concept & Problems Review

PHYSICS: Here’s a new way to study collisions! Somebody’s having way too much fun with veggies!

Here’s the review of some concepts from today, but from a different year. I thought it might be helpful to get a look at some of the problems we didn’t get to in class – not that you need them!

God bless you as you study for your test. I’ll be praying for you!

Hon Chemistry 1-15-15 Electron Configuration & Blocks of the Periodic Table

HON CHEMISTRY: Wow! You learned a lot today! Don’t we serve an awesome God?!? You probably knew the periodic table was really organized, but did you realize that it was THAT organized? Awesome!

Practice what you learned today. You’ll get the hang of it in no time. Let’s look at one more type of electron configuration notation tomorrow!

Hon Chemistry 1-14-15 Quantum Numbers & Electron Configuration

HON CHEMISTRY: Wow, you did a great job today! Did quantum numbers start making more sense once you are started using them? Good work today on orbital notation and electron configuration notation. I think you’re going to be seeing arrows and numbers in your sleep!

Don’t forget to use the Aufbau “chart” that you learned to draw!! We’ll move on to some short cuts tomorrow!

Chemistry 1-13-15 Fission & Fusion & Test Overview

CHEMISTRY: Hey guys! Here’s the laaaaast part of the charter – fission and fusion, and the short overview we did on the test tomorrow. 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!!

Physics 1-12-15 Collisions Problems Review

PHYSICS: Who knew ping pong balls could be so much fun! So why did they shoot so far- did you figured it out?

On to working more of the problems tonight! How are you doing? Check for connections between the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy. You can do it!

Help session Wednesday morning, 7:15ish A.M.

Hon Chemistry 1-12-15 Intro to Quantum Model

HON CHEMISTRY: Happy Monday! Great start on quantum mechanics today!

Here are the video clips that we watched in class today. You really may want to watch them again as you study for the test.
The Electromagnetic Spectrum (not the song!)
Emission Spectrum of Hydrogen
Animated Quantum Video is the one that explains all about why scientists began to believe that electrons could be acting as waves
Quantum Mechanics explains more about the role of the men we studied today in the development of the quantum model of the atom

You will be responsible for the information in all the videos. And they’re all really good, I promise!

Chemistry 1-12-15 Applications of Radioactivity

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 today – applications of radioactive isotopes. We’ll finish fission and fusion tomorrow, and then test on Wednesday! Click here for a copy of the Chapter 21 Stuff to Know & Study Suggestions sheet.

Physics 1-8-15 Collisions & Bouncing

PHYSICS: Collisions – they’re all around us and they all obey the law of conservation of momentum. 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!

Hon Chemistry 1-8-15 Bohr Model of the Atom

HON CHEMISTRY: I figured anybody who ditched his honeymoon to finalize his work on atomic theory deserved to have his picture on our website. (And, by the way, great job making like electrons today – way to role play!)

Here’s a link to some great video clip that begin to show the connection between our lab on spectroscopy, the hydrogen emission spectrum, and how we can identify elements. And don’t forget the watch the other clips from this chapter! They’ll be very helpful as you study!! Spectrum of the Stars, The Emission Spectrum of Hydrogen
