Thursday Snow Day Instructions 2-26-15

Posted on by

Happy Snow Day! Yay, you get to do chemistry and physics in your pajamas today!! Sipping a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, watching a chemistry or physics lesson online – it doesn’t get much better than that!!

You must watch lessons for any day you were not in class – the vodcasts are listed by date in the posts below this one. For regular chemistry and physics, that means the vodcasts for Wednesday & Thursday. For honors chemistry, it’s just the lesson for Thursday. Interact with the vodcast! Take notes, make a list of any questions you have, and then do the homework.

I love you guys! Hope you have a great day!!!
A Snow Day

Physics 2-26-15 Pascal’s Law

Posted on by

PHYSICS: Did you realize that fluids could produce that much force? Make’s you wonder at the awesome way God designed those beautiful under water sea creatures to withstand so much pressure, doesn’t it? This little creature is a lionfish from the waters of Lembeh, Indonesia.

Oh, and here’s the lecture on Pascal’s law and hydraulics and the like.

Hon Chemistry 2-26-15 Ionic Bonding

Posted on by

HON CHEMISTRY: Hey guys, here’s the lecture for Thursday on ionic bonding. If you are not in class for whatever reason – the play, basketball, SNOW!!!, you are required to watch this vodcast. Homework for Thursday night is due Friday – or the next day we are in class.

Keep in mind that when you write ionic bonding, you’re not trying to arrange a single structure like you do with Lewis structures. Instead, you’re writing an equation that shows electrons being lost by one atom and gained by another atom. And make sure you put the dots in the right order!

Also important, pay close attention to the comparisons of ionic and covalent bonds – and WHY! And whatever you do, stay away from bubble baths if you have mortal enemies!

Chemistry 2-26-15 Ionic Radii & Electronegativity

Posted on by

CHEMISTRY: Here’s the lesson for Thursday and the last of the periodic trends – not car trends, periodic trends! Now on to some serious preparations for the test!!

Remember, you are required to watch this vodcast. The homework from Thursday will be due Friday – or the next day we are in class.

Don’t forget the Chapter 5 Stuff to Know sheet on Edline. It will be a great reinforcement as you begin to study and complete your notes on the properties and uses of the elements!!! It will be a great review as you are preparing for the test!!!
