HON CHEMISTRY: Wow! Great video, but do you feel like you have information overload!?
Here is the lab safety video we watched in class. It does have a ton of info, and the thing is, you absolutely must know it – and not just for the test, but also throughout the year in lab. It’s a really good idea to watch it again and take notes as you go.
HOMEWORK: First though, lets talk about homework.(Don’t forget to check your syllabus to see what else is due tomorrow and Monday!!)
Lab Safety Contract –Since we’ll be in lab so much, it’s important that you write your own lab safety contract. Here’s how you do it::
- From the first couple of pages of the Safety Packet that you got in class (or it’s also here under the Lab tab), hand write the lab safety statements as your contract.
- They must be handwritten on notebook paper. You only have to write the first part of the rule that is bold. There are 29 in all and they almost all start with “I will…”.
- At the end of your contract – after the last statement, hand write the following statement at the bottom: “I agree to abide by these rules.” Then sign underneath and date it.
- Scan your final signed document as a PDF and submit it into your Chemistry Shared Folder. The assignment name is Lab Safety Contract.You must have this safety contract submitted to do lab for the rest of the year! Due Monday!
It has recently been discovered through a process called gravitational microlensing that our galaxy may also include cold planets. It has also been discovered that increased heart rate can lead to bad decisions do to the increase in adrenaline.
There has been a new discovery of a type of bacterium that eats plastic. It specifically feeds on polyurethane. It is said that it could help with the pollution in oceans and around the world.
Scientists have been studying an ancient super volcano in Indonesia. These volcanoes stay active for thousands of years after a super-eruption, and they can be devastating.
Scientists have been studying a grave found in 1968 with the individual inside, dated back to 1050-1300, having 1 Y chromosome and 2 X chromosomes, not matching to the usual genders and chromosomes. Along with that, the object in the tomb, including clothes (usually buried with women) and 2 swords (usually buried with men), hinted toward the belief that this individual did not associate strictly with either gender, possibly being one of the first non-binary humans
