PHYSICS: Here’s our short review of from today of some of the momentum concepts and problems from ch 6: #10 from the worksheet – the rollercoaster, and #47 from the textbook – the billiard balls. Below that is the help session from this morning – more about bouncing.
God bless you as you study for your test. I’ll be praying for you!

CHEMISTRY: Hey guys! Awesome job with empirical formulas, and now you’ve conquered writing molecular formulas! Here’s the lecture from Thursday. Don’t you think that molecular formulas are just like writing empirical formulas but with a twist at the end?
The hardest part is that it’s not a set formula for you to plug and play, but if you’ll keep in mind that you’re really just looking for subscripts which are just moles, you’ll be able to think it through. Percent to mass, mass to moles, moles to smallest whole number ratio – then the twist at the end if it’s a molecular formula
Have you started preparing for the test? It will be over ALL of chapter – plus the small bit from chapter 3. Be sure and checked out the Stuff to Know sheet for all of chapter 7 under the Test Info tab!
CHEMISTRY: So, would you like to be Greg on CSI? Great review of percent composition and good job with the beginnings of empirical formulas today!
Let’s crank it up a notch tomorrow! 🙂

HON CHEMISTRY: You realize what we did? We finished all 17 types of reactions today!
Are you working on memorizing all 17 types of reactions?! But don’t just memorize them. Make sure you can apply them as well. When you start to work any equation, first determine what type of reaction it is, then figure out what rule applies and follow it to determine the products. I believe in you! You can do it!! (and yes, I realize I am repeating myself, but I do and you can!)
PHYSICS: Great job with some of the more advanced momentum and energy problems! Here’s a look at the student in the middle of a frozen pond, bird on the wire, and car crash with coefficient of friction.
Ready for the test? Take another look at some of the concepts!
PHYSICS: Great job on the problems so far!! Here’s our look how kinetic and potential energy get involved – dart in the block of wood and the bird on the swing. This cute little bird isn’t on a swing, but he is one I came beak to nose with on a mission trip to Costa Rica!
What about even more practical applications? Hmmmm…..
CHEMISTRY: Great job today! Way to apply chemistry to your everyday life!!
I think you’ll find that percent composition problems are super easy to catch on to. First, though, be sure you know which “type” of percent composition you’re trying to fine. Also make sure you can write chemical formulas (I won’t give them to you!) and that you’ve memorized the formulas for acids and those chemical names and formulas for common substances. It’s just plug and play from there! 🙂
HON CHEMISTRY: Moving right along with the 17 types of chemical reactions, here are the single replacement reactions – and you also got a head start on the activity series!
This makes 15 reactions so far, and we’ll do the rest tomorrow. Careful though, memorize, but don’t just memorize them. Make sure you can apply them as well. When you start to work any equation, first determine what type of reaction it is, then figure out what rule applies and follow it to determine the products. I believe in you! You can do it!!

PHYSICS: Collisions – they’re all around us and they all obey the law of conservation of momentum. Here’s more specific information about the proper way to differentiate and name them.
Great job with the conceptual review and setting up the problems! As you practice tonight, be sure and check for connections between the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy. 🙂
CHEMISTRY: So how many molecules are in one drop of water? Good job figuring that out today!
You’ve got some great tools to use – be sure you know what to use and when to use it. Remember that math is a tool. Can you show me WHY you use it. HINT: Q Formula!! Best way to learn that? Practice, practice, practice!!
