Every nine-weeks you may do extra Science In the News summaries for extra credit.
Regular Chemistry can do TWO extra Science In the News summaries every term.
Honors Chemistry & Honors Physics can do ONE extra Science In the News summary.
Each extra Science In the News can count up to 5 points each on a major test. (And that’s a lot!)
Click below for the assignment. Extra credit is due at the end of the nine-weeks.

My goal for 4th term is to have at least a 90 average. I plan to achieve this goal by watching vodcast, completing homework, and going to help sessions.
My triumph this week is completing all of my homework on time. I accomplished this by not waiting until the last minute to do my homework.
My triumph this week was that I completed all of my chemistry work. This is because I checked the syllabus daily and paid attention in class.
My struggle this week was staying organized for my chemistry project. I overcame this struggle by planning out and following what I need to get done on my chemistry project.
This week I struggled with getting started on my project. I finally found ensign research to confidently begin my project.
How many particles are in a Tritium atom? – 4
Can Isotopes be created or must they only occur naturally? Isotopes can be made radioactively and usually have very long lives.
How many particles are in a Tritium atom? – 4
This week I struggled with half life problems. I overcame this struggle by watching vodcasts and working practice problems.
Chemistry made me more mature. I learned that I needed to make myself a strict schedule in order to keep up in the class. I would tell future chemistry students to study hard. I think ms Skinner and ms Jackie did an excellent job and could not have done a single thing better
This week I give myself a 1/5. I wasn’t very productive, and I didn’t manage my time responsibly. I feel like I wasn’t very motivated to do much of anything. I think it is because for two weeks my schedule with remote was kind of lax, but it was hard getting back into full swing after such a long “break”.
This week I really struggled with rest. But I have prayed to the Lord and he provided with some beautiful snow days.
