PHYSICS: Can you believe it?!? This is your LAST web post comment!! This is where you put it and here are the three things I want you to talk about:
1) How did physics grow you? What did you learn about yourself?
2) What advice do you have for future physics students?
3) What could we have done different this year that would have helped you learn physics better?
Can’t wait to hear from you!! 🙂
HON CHEMISTRY: Hey guys, welcome to chemical bonds! How did you do on using electronegativity to determine bond type? Make sure you add the scale and also the diatomic molecules to your “things I have to memorize and know how to use for the test” list.
Hon Chemistry 2-15-17 Intro to Chemical Bonds & Covalent Bonding from Tammy Skinner on Vimeo.
CHEMISTRY: Hey guys! Here’s our discussion from Friday. More information on the applications of radioactivity, fission and fusion
Have you started studying? The test will be Tuesday, May 2. Be careful and don’t take the test for granted! And don’t forget to check out the the Chapter 21 Stuff to Know & sheet.
Make sure you keep practicing half-life problems and nuclear equations. Also, make sure you’ve memorize the nuclear symbols for alpha particles, beta particles, positrons, neutrons, and protons. And then there are tons of notes on the conceptual stuff. Properties of radioactivity, people, types of radioactive decay, applications of radioactivity, definitions, definitions, and definitions!

CHEMISTRY: Radioactivity all around! Here’s the lecture from Thursday, the first part of our discussion on the applications of radioactive isotopes. We’ll talk about more applications tomorrow.
Are you ready for the test? The test will be next Tuesday, May 2. Be careful and don’t take the test for granted! Make sure you got a copy of the Chapter 3A and the 21 Stuff to Know & Study Suggestions sheet to help you get organized as you study.
Memorize everything and practice everything! And did I mention, PRACTICE!!

CHEMISTRY: Before we start talking about applications of radioactive isotopes, we need to know more about what we’re dealing with – and that includes units! From Wednesday, here’s a quick overview of the units you need to know.

HON CHEMISTRY: Great job thinking through the half life problems today! Were you listening…or are you thinking?
PHYSICS: So why do instruments that are playing the same note sound so different? Here’s our discussion of harmonics. (Plus another lesson on beats at the end.)
CHEMISTRY: Have these banana’s been through too many half lives for you?? Great job thinking through the half-life problems! Be sure and practice, practice, practice! They aren’t super difficult, but if you don’t practice, you’ll be as lost as a ball in high weeds!!
Two changes – I’ve cancelled the half life lab and there is no homework on half life. We’ll be doing the homework together in class tomorrow.
I can’t wait to read your projects and find out what you did to survive!! Speaking of – did you do more than just survive? Here’s where you post you comment for the week.
Web post topic – What did you learn from the Lost… Project (this time only, discuss things not related to chemistry). What did God teach you through the project?
Go!
I’m praying for you as you finalize your project this weekend. I believe in you! You can do it!!!
Here are a few hints and advice – lots more great stuff is on the Final Notes & Advice sheet under the Project tab!
1. Make sure you internally document everything! That includes anything you talk about. Also, make sure your illustrations have an internal documentation typed/written on them. (Yes, you have to have illustrations! If you don’t something’s wrong.)
2. As a chemist, you must talk about all 23 items – why they would be good to use or why you would not want to use them. NEVER say you had no use for the item. You will not get credit if you do.
3. Don’t wait to do your Works Cited page last. Do it before you finish the final draft of your paper. It takes a while to compile a Works Cited and if you don’t have one, I cannot accept your paper. It would be better to have a few mistakes in your paper than to not turn in a Works Cited.
4. Save as you go! Go ahead and save a copy of your latest rough draft in your Shared folder – label it rough draft for now. This way, if something happens in your drive or if your computer crashes at the last minute, I’ll be able to see that you have been working on your paper.
5. Get someone that you trust to read over your paper and check it against the project guideline sheet that I gave you – especially the Manuscript Form Checklist. They’ll be able to help you find things you might have left off.
You can do great things! I believe in you and I can’t wait to read your paper!
