HON CHEMISTRY: Great job today! Remember it’s like baby steps, first binary ionic compounds, and now, formulas with polyatomic ions. Begin learning them now! And practice, practice, practice!!
Another great idea, click here for a copy of the Hints for Naming Chemical Formulas Flow Chart, or find it under the Worksheet/Handouts Tab. Follow it every time you name chemical formulas!!
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 with a short look at 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: So what changes motion? Here is our look at Newton’s 2nd law.
One of the most important things to remember – net forces produce acceleration. Now let’s see where you can take it!
CHEMISTRY – Are you ready? God bless you as you study! Here’s our overview of chapter 1 and the test – good stuff!!
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, Chapter 1 Stuff to Know Sheet under the Test Info tab.
Don’t forget the Chapter 1 Pre-test. It’s due Friday morning at 8:00 A.M. Scroll down here on the web site for the web post from yesterday to find it.
If you want some interactive practice for the test (GREAT IDEA!!) here are a couple of great reviews from The Physics classroom. These are optional, so sign on as “Guest” if you want to do them:
Chemical vs. Physical Properties
Metals, Nonmetals & Metalloids
Classification of Matter
Also remember there are 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!!
CHEMISTRY: Here’s some GREAT practice for the test – a Chapter 1 Pre-Test. Fill in your answers below. When you are finished, be sure and click Submit and check to see which ones you missed.
UPDATE: This is the new Thursday night homework (and you can also work ahead). Use it to study for the test! It’s due by 8:00 AM Friday morning. Let’s see what you know! 🙂
Here is the link: Chapter 1 Pre-Test
CHEMISTRY – Wow! Do you realize what we just did?!? We finished the chapter!!! Did you feel like today was mostly review?
There are three elements that you will research for the test – Cu, Si, and P. A great resource to research the elements (and the only one you need besides the textbook) are these video clips on copper, phosphorus, and silicon that a group of chemistry researchers have put together at www.periodicvideos.com. Watch these and take notes. The information on these video clips will be on the test.. If you can’t get the phosphorus video to work, use this link on YouTube https://youtu.be/LSYLUat03A4
Hey, have you had a chance to check out the chapter 1 study suggestion sheet? 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?!?)
🙂
PHYSICS: Great work today thinking through these problems! How you look at problems from the beginning can make a huge difference – huh?
A couple of things that work for me when doing equilibrium, etc., problems – first, draw them. Then go back through and separate resultants into components. If an object is in equilibrium, then there are no net forces – all the forces in the x direction balance – everything left equals everything right, and all the forces up equal all the forces down.
You’ve got all the ammo you need, now go forth and conquer pumpkins! And Zorba!!
Answers for the Equilibrants II worksheet are below:

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!
PHYSICS: So, how is the balance in your life? Here’s our discussion of net force, equilibrium, and equilibrants. Were you experiencing a little déjà vu? Great job today!

CHEMISTRY: Great discussion today of how energy in involved in physical changes and chemical changes. Applications, applications! Make sure you can apply what you learned today.
