PHYSICS: So, how is the balance in your life? Here’s the lesson from Thursday on net force, equilibrium, and equilibrants. Were you experiencing a little déjà vu?
Great job today! Thank you, Hannah and Mary Addison, and Jonathan and Patrick, for being such good sports!!!

PHYSICS: Remind me again why didn’t that pen go flying across the room instead of dropping into the bottle? Hmmm…..
So what do you reckon is the inertia of this car? Great start today relating mass to inertia! Now go forth and apply what you know to find the mass of that spool of copper wire!

HON CHEMISTRY: Are you starting to see numbers in your sleep? Here’s our discussion on writing chemical formulas with polyatomic ions. The same………but different?
Tons of memorization for this chapter – monatomic ions, polyatomic ions, and this is just the beginning! Start now!!

CHEMISTRY – Are you ready? God bless you as you study! Here’s the overview of the test that we did in class today. Speaking of videos – have you watched the video clips on Cu, P, and Si? You can find them at www.periodicvideos.com.
Make sure you aren’t just reading your book and notes. First, memorize the facts, then go back and make sure you can apply the concepts. Study examples, make your own examples, practice making questions. And don’t forget, if you are getting lost with everything you need to know, or if you’re not sure how to study, click here for the Chapter 1 Stuff to Know & Study Suggestions sheet.
Also, don’t forget the great review games that are in the Student Premium section of the online textbook. You can do this – I believe in you! I’m praying for you!!

HON CHEMISTRY: Great start on writing and naming chemical formulas! What’d you think? Do-able? Absolutely!!
Today we concentrated on binary ionic compounds today; tomorrow we’ll do compounds with polyatomic ions. We’ll go kind of slow to begin with, but make sure to take time to practice, practice, practice, and learn it step by step. You’ll be as lost as ball in high weeds if you let yourself get behind!

PHYSICS: Great job today presenting your Alternative Assessments! So what’s your theory about the cause of motion?
I love Newton’s first law – the law of inertia! One reason – you get to meet Julius Sumner Miller!
So where do you see the law of inertia in action in your world? Hey, if mass is a measure of the inertia of an object, could you use what you know about mass and inertia to find the mass of an unknown object? Hmmmm……..

CHEMISTRY – Happy Friday! Here’s our overview of the elements and intro to the periodic table. Did you feel like it was mostly review?
How is the element handbook search going? You will be responsible for that information – both search 1 & 2, on the test. On the first part, tell enough to show what distinguishes that element as the type that it is – physical and chemical properties, where it can be found, what it’s used for, anything particularly unusual about the element, but don’t go into minute detail – just the main facts. You for sure don’t have to copy information from all the tables in the book.
Here is the link for the video clips on copper, phosphorus, and silicon that you will need to watch for the Element Handbook Search and for the TEST!! www.periodicvideos.com. The information on these video clips will be on the test.
Speaking of the test, have you had a chance to check out the chapter 1 study suggestion sheet on Edline? Let me know if there is anything you need help with before the test! (And you’re still learning the symbols of the elements, right?!?)
🙂

CHEMISTRY: Pretty intense couple of days this week, huh? You know, I’m really proud of you! It’s one thing to be able to follow a set of directions, but it’s a whole other thing to be able to come up with the directions on your own! That’s a difficult thing to learn how to do, and you are doing a great job developing that skill.
Any questions about writing the lab report? Be sure to save it as a PDF to your Google Drive and turnitin.com. It might be a good idea to review the Digital Lab Report manuscript form.
Be careful that you give me pertinent details on your procedure. Don’t be too general, give details. Also, if your plans changed, tell me that too. And then, after you write your own conclusion, don’t forget to include all Analysis & Conclusion questions after your own Conclusion – No Extension questions.

CHEMISTRY: Here’s a mixture that looks like it might be worth investigating – bacon caramel popcorn! I mean, I like bacon and I like caramel popcorn, but bacon caramel popcorn? Hmmmm….
So now that you know about mixtures, could you figure out how to separate one? Keep these notes handy!
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Be double sure and bring the vLAB: Separating Substances to class Tuesday. Print front and back if you can to save paper!
Thank you for your hard work this first 9-weeks! Have an awesome Fall Break!!!

PHYSICS: I love, love, love walking in on you help each other! Warms my heart!!
Here’s the vodcast from class – test overview and some of the relative motion problems from the homework, and a very quick look at #37, how far above the mountain is the missile. Below that is the vodcast from the help session – #62, the rocket problem.
God bless you as you study! Help session tomorrow, Wednesday, 7:20ish A.M.
