Week of Nov 26 to Nov 30

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving break.  We have lots to do in the next 4 weeks leading up to Christmas break.  

As usual, all plans and assignments are subject to change.

Chem-I

Monday, Nov 26:   COW #8 assigned (the Halogen group) and due on Friday.  Continue with History of Atom timeline and Keynote Unit 3 B.   No Homework is planned for Tuesday.... but.... reminder that Project Prep will be graded on Wed/Thurs. If you're actually reading this, you may want to see hint on Friday's agenda that will come in handy for Friday's Sub-Test.

Tuesday:   Quick review of history.   Covering/reviewing "Basic Atomic Structure"(Atomic number, Mass Number, Protons, Electrons, Neutrons, Isotopes.... possibly introducing Atomic Mass calculations.  HW for Wed/Thurs will be a worksheet on all of the above.  Also, project prep to be graded.  I will also be asking each project group to tell me their general plans for their video theme.  Note that COW will be due on Friday AND we will be having a Sub-Test (a.k.a.  Half-Test) on Unit 3 to date (history, subatomic particles, atomic structure, isotopes, atomic mass).  This Sub-Test will be open note.


Wed/Thurs:    Finishing Unit 3B Atomic Mass Calculations.   I expect to be giving you approx 45 minutes to work on projects.  I will be checking and grading progress of each group during this time.  Reminders for Friday:  COW due, Sub-Test on Unit 3 A and 3B.

Friday:   COW due.   Sub-test.  BONUS HINT:  understand historical significance of Nov 22 and Dec 7.   Looking ahead.... I don't foresee any homework over the weekend...but.... a good chance to work on project (script and/or storyboard is due Dec 5/6).

Monday:   passing back and going over quiz on gas laws we took before break.  Assigning projects.

Tuesday:  working on Projects.   Make sure you document all work.

Wed:   Lab Activity on Ideal Gas Equation (known as the Bic Lighter lab).

Friday:   Finishing lab write-up as necessary.  Working on projects.
