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…
