HON CHEMISTRY: Great job with quantum numbers today! Wow, it was a lot. Confused yet?

Don’t worry! Today you learned all the background information about quantum numbers. Monday we will begin putting it all together 🙂

Here are some video clips that begin to show the connection between our lab on spectroscopy, the hydrogen emission spectrum, and how we can identify elements – including the one from today on why it’s all important. They’ll be very helpful as you study!!

The Electromagnetic Spectrum (not the song!)
Emission Spectrum of Hydrogen
Animated Quantum Video is the one that explains all about why scientists began to believe that electrons could be acting as waves

PHYSICS – Here’s our very short look at simple harmonic motion and pendulums. Now head off and start playing with the pendulum simulation.

PHYSICS: So what do you reckon is the spring constant of a trampoline spring? Here’s our discussion from Friday on simple harmonic motion and springs.

Did you figure out what was wrong with that problem? 😉

Great discussion today on the Lost in the Danakil Depression project. Here’s the recording from today. Good stuff!

DUE Monday, March 25, by class time. This first worksheet is due for ALL 23 the items on the list. Submit Google Doc to your Chemistry Shared folder. Make your own copy before you start filling it in: FIRST Lost… Project Research Sheet

Welcome to a great adventure! You’ve learned so much this year – not just concepts, but skills, and you’re still learning! I can’t wait to see how you are going to apply it all!

Here’s the place where you can post your questions about the “Lost…”. First answer – the due date is Tuesday, April 16.

A really useful hint? Go back and re-read the project again – this time with a highlighter. It’s amazing how much I miss the first time I read something. So what’s your next question?

Here’s another copy of the first part of the project, if you need it:

Lost in the Danakil Depression – Regular Chemistry
Lost in the Danakil Depression – Honors Chemistry

DUE Monday, March 25, by class time. This first worksheet is due for ALL 23 the items on the list. Submit Google Doc to your Chemistry Shared folder. Make your own copy before you start filling it in: FIRST Lost… Project Research Sheet

CHEMISTRY: Here’s our super short look at the homework from today. It’s important enough to post and review though, because we talked about ways I’d ask you to apply these concepts on the test!

PHYSICS: Good review today, are problems and concepts starting to come together? So here’s a look at some of the concepts and problems from chapter 8. And don’t forget about the hollow ball! And lift!

Help session tomorrow morning, 7:30ish AM
