REJOICE, a Savior is born!!
Well, exams are over, grades are in and Edline has been updated. I pray that you’ll have a wonderful, restful, and joyful Christmas break. Thank you for your hard work and diligence this semester. You are the greatest students in the world!
I love you! Merry Christmas!!
God bless you as you study for your chemistry, honors chemistry, and physics exams! How are you studying? Best advice? Practice, practice, PRACTICE! Be active in studying – don’t just read over the material. Review games on the online textbook, reworking old homework problems, re-working those flash cards you’ve made – all good. Watching vodcasts of old lectures might not hurt either!
Chemistry Exam Help Session Thursday morning, 7:20ish A.M. EXAM ROOM ASSIGNMENTS are listed below.
IMPORTANT – Bring your exam review packet (and textbook, if you checked one out) to the chemistry room before you go to your exam room!
UPDATE: Here are the room assignments for Thursday’s exam:
Hon Chemistry Rm. 132 (Ms. Holbrook’s room)
Chemistry 2 Rm. 302 (Mr. Wilson’s room)
Chemistry 3 Rm. 303 (Mrs. Tapp’s room)
Chemistry 4 Rm. 304 (Coach Henderson’s room)
Chemistry 6 Rm. 301 (Ms. DeFrehn’s room)
Hon Physics Rm. 132 (Ms. Holbrook’s room)
Don’t forget to bring your completed exam review packets when you come on Thursday. Click below for a copy, if you need it. I’m praying for you!!
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10
PHYSICS – Now this is a lot of grocery carts! I’m not going to even think about how much work would be done in moving them!
No audio on today’s recording! So, here’s the vodcast of the work we did a couple of years ago on the problems and questions from the Chapter 5 Worksheet 2. It doesn’t have all the problems we did in class today, so below that I’ll post the vodcast from today in case you want to just see what we did – remember on that one, no audio!
Help session tomorrow morning at 7:20ish A.M. God bless you as you continue to prepare for the test! I’m praying for you!!!

HON CHEMISTRY: Wow! What do you think about fusion? Can you now begin to understand the destructive force of the hydrogen bomb? Just another reason you might not want to plan a trip to the sun!
We put the final touch on a lot today, and guess what? We’ve wrapped up the chapter! How are you doing on studying for the test? It will cover the beginning part of chapter 3 (through average atomic mass), chapter 21, and you will most probably also have a set of chemical formulas to write and name.
Below the vodcast from today’s class, I’ve put the help session from this morning. Practice everything! And did I mention, PRACTICE!! I’ll be praying for you!

And from this morning’s help session…
PHYSICS: Did you have a good day today reviewing work, energy, machines, etc.? I wish I could have been there to watch you! Here are the answers to the Review Worksheet 2. Most were worked with g as 9.80 m/s2. Also, I think #19 must be at constant velocity.
3) 1090 J
4) 1350 J
5) 79%
6) 917 W
8) 9.57 kW
12) 420 N
14) 1300 J
18a) -125 N
18b) -2190 N
18c) 0.360
19) 4390 J (assume cart is moving at constant velocity)
HON CHEMISTRY: Radioactive isotopes all around! Did you ever dream there were so many applications of radioactivity? This is a pic of a test used to check on blood flow through the heart during a stress test. Fun, huh!?
So what’s this about you probably having an radioactive isotope in your house?!? Don’t forget to research how smoke detectors, especially those with Americium, work!

CHEMISTRY: God bless you as you study! Here’s our overview of the test from today. Also, did you find the Chapter 7 Stuff to Know sheet on Edline? Be sure and use it to guide your studying. I know it seems like a lot, but you can do it!
First priority – make sure that you have memorized EVERYTHING. Then, practice!!! Go to sciencegeek.net and make sure you can write and name chemical formulas. Practice, practice, practice!!! Then start practicing the different kinds of problems – do at least three of each one of them. And also try those on sciencegeek.net. That’s always some good practice. I’ll be praying for you! You can do it!!

HON CHEMISTRY: Wow! We made artificial elements! Well, on paper at least 😉
So you can take something that’s not radioactive and make it radioactive? Here’s the lecture from Monday. We’ll finish fission and talk about fusion on Wednesday!

To My Beautiful Chemistry Students: I miss you today! Here is the assignment for Friday:
How can chemistry – or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics be important to your everyday life? TONS of ways, and this year we’ll be using Science In the News to research just that!
IMPORTANT guidelines for the assignment:
IMPORTANT #2: When you are finished today, put your laptop up in the correct slot and plug it in!!
HON CHEMISTRY: So what do you figure is the half-life of a banana? But I digress…. Here’s the lecture for Friday on half-life problems. Keep thinking these problems through – listen to the story they’re trying to tell you, and you’ll do great.
Have fun with the half-life simulation lab! Be sure and post your data in the Half Life Lab web post by the time listed on the syllabus. Don’t forget to include pics and your graph! The lab report is to be submitted as a PDF 2X by the due date listed on the syllabus. 🙂
