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 your unknown!
CHEMISTRY: So how do you know if something is a physical or a chemical change? Applications, applications! Make sure you can apply what you learned today!
Don’t forget that we’re changing the syllabus – we’re finishing notes on chemical properties and changes tomorrow, but still do the homework for tonight that’s on the syllabus – it’s review. Also, we’re moving the Observing a Candle activity to Thursday.
PHYSICS: What makes a bowling ball move? Or stop moving? What’s your theory about the cause of motion? And how can we make use of this concept of inertia? Hmmm….

CHEMISTRY: We’re finally starting what chemistry is all about! Here’s the lesson from Monday. Can you apply the branches of chemistry and types of scientific work? As you go through the chapter, make sure you have the vocab down, and be sure you’re able to apply what you learned each day!
Now….how would you describe this copper ore? Let’s talk about that tomorrow!
HON CHEMISTRY: Happy Wednesday! Great job today on asking questions to classify matter! How are you doing on the examples of homogeneous and heterogeneous matter? Here’s a question to think about again, can you tell me three different types of homogeneous matter?
And no, this isn’t part of a moonshine still, but it is copper and I thought it looked kind of cool! Speaking of….why do you think they use copper coil in stills??
HON CHEMISTRY: Great discussion today on the difference in heat and temperature! Can you apply what you know? So why did that paper cup of water not burn in the Bunsen burner flame? And you boiled water in it? How cool is that! I mean hot…
CHEMISTRY: Today you will begin Graphing Exercise 1. Don’t forget if you get stuck, you can always go back and check the EXCEL Online Graphs Tutorial handout or watch the vodcast from last Thursday.
Here are the instructions for Tuesday – (You are going to be dreaming about graphs!!)
IMPORTANT: A rough draft of your first graph (graph J) is due tomorrow by class time. The entire assignment must be submitted by this coming Monday, October 18, 8:00 A.M.
FIRST: You will be doing Exercise 1 with Excel Online. Students can use this for free! Your first step is to go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/products/office to sign up for a free Office 365 account with your school email and get FREE access to Microsoft Office products. Using Excel online, you can do this assignment at school or at home and access it with your own computer, tablet, phone, etc.
FOR TODAY: Click below for the files you need for today. You can also find these handouts under the Worksheet tab.
Excel Online Subscripts & Superscripts: If you ever need to add subscript or superscripts to the axis labels in Excel online, you can copy and paste whatever number you need from this set in to the axis title.
⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉
Now go forth and conquer graphs!!
CHEMISTRY: Today you are going to learn (or review) how to make graphs using Excel Online.
Here’s the recording from class today. If you were absent, you need to watch the vodcast and make a sample graph along with the recording. If you were in class on Thursday, you’re all good – there is nothing else for you to turn in.

PHYSICS – Great job today working through the monkey-hunter problem!
Do the problems make more sense now?Now go and tackle #36. Don’t give up on it. It’s tough, but you can do it!
If you need some inspiration – here are links to some Monkey-Hunter videos
MIT Physics Demo – Monkey and a Gun
The (Human) Monkey and the Hunter
Quick – list 10 things you remember from the 8th grade about interpreting and reading graphs! Not to worry – today you’re going to begin reviewing those important concepts and techniques. Here is your assignment for today, Tuesday:
IMPORTANT: Today’s assignment is one that you will have to complete at school. The program is on the school laptops and on the computers in the computer lab.
Holler if you have any questions!
