CHEMISTRY – Great job today! Here’s a great refresher on lighting a Bunsen burner! By the way, in lab today, did you get to see a green flame when you put the copper wire in the flame? The electrons in the copper atoms were being excited and they gave off a green flame. Cool!!
Below is a slideshow with .everything you wanted to know about a Bunsen burner and how to light it. Be sure and view the slide show BEFORE you take turn in your lab sheets and take the test.
Tomorrow we’ll continue with Parts 4 – 6. Be sure and read ahead before you come to class! Also, make double dog sure you are keeping up with the observations in each part and answering ALL of the questions at the end of the lab on pg. 17 – 18. There are a TON of them! Check your syllabus for due dates!
CHEMISTRY: Today you are going to learn (or review) how to make graphs using Excel Online.
Here are the instructions for Tuesday.
IMPORTANT: Your sample Excel graph must include a unit (either for the independent or the dependent variable) that has a superscript or a subscript in the unit. This is so you can practice doing this step. Your sample graph is due today by the end of class.
FIRST: You will be making your sample graph with Excel Online. Students can use this for free! Make sure you have signed in to your Office 365 account. Click here to log in https://www.office.com/ (If you haven’t signed up for a free Office 365 account with your school email, STOP and do that first using the instructions are on this weeks syllabus.) 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: Today your assignment is to make a sample Excel graph that you will eventually turn in to your Chemistry Shared folder. The name of the assignment is Graphing with Excel Sample Graph. Click below if you need the files you need for today. You can also find these handouts under the Worksheet tab.
INSTRUCTIONS for SAMPLE GRAPH: Copy my data from the Excel Tutorial to use for your graph. Make the independent variable Volume (cm³) and the dependent variable Mass (g). Follow the tutorial for instructions on how to make your sample graph. Read below for how to include superscripts and subscripts.
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.

Now go forth and conquer graphs!!
