Chemistry 1-18-24 Polymers

CHEMISTRY: Happy Snowpocalypse! This lecture on polymers finishes the chapter! Did you realize molecules could be that large? And so many of them. But don’t you think polymers are cool? Here’s the lecture for Thursday. Interact with the vodcast! Answer out loud, take notes, make a list of any questions you have. For Friday, you’ll do the “homework” that usually goes with that lesson. Read the post for Friday to know more about the assignment.

In the meanwhile, don’t forget that you’ll have a test pretty soon after we get back. Check the syllabus for the date – and continue studying and practicing for that!

Some items for contemplation: how does the function of something relate to its structure. For example, why are certain plastics recyclable and others not…and what about dishwasher and microwave safe? Hmmmmm…

Hon Chemistry 1-18 & 19-24 Stoichiometry

HON CHEMISTRY: Today you get a head start on the next chapter – and you get to see why it’s so important to be able to write and balance chemical equations! Interact with the vodcast! Answer out loud, take notes, make a list of any questions you have. For Friday, you’ll do the “homework” that usually goes with that lesson.

In the meanwhile, don’t forget that you’ll have a test pretty soon after we get back. Check the syllabus for the date – and continue studying and practicing for that!

So what do you think about reaction stoichiometry? Were you able to apply what you remembered about moles from earlier this year? Don’t forget the keys! Now all you need is some practice and you’ll have it down pat!!

Physics 1-18 & 19-24 Torque & A Look at Rotational Equilibrium

PHYSICS: Happy Snowpocalypse! Today you get a head start on the next chapter. Here’s a short look at torque and another kind of equilibrium. Interact with the vodcast! Answer out loud, take notes, make a list of any questions you have. For Friday, you’ll do the “homework” that usually goes with that lesson.

In the meanwhile, don’t forget that you’ll have a test pretty soon after we get back. Check the syllabus for the date – and continue studying and practicing for that! And if I’m not mistaken – there’s a lab report due soon? Hmmmmm….

So how’s the balance in your life right now? 😉
