Week of March 25 to March 29

Last week of March.   Two weeks left in 3rd quarter and three weeks until April vacation.  Wow.

As usual (and certainly happened last week), all plans and assignments are subject to change and/or adjustments.

Chem-I

Monday:   we will go over the test on Unit 4.  We'll also check on pop quiz given friday.  I apologize for making an absolutely crappy quiz at the last moment and will make amends. 

We will be starting Unit 5 on Chemical Compounds with a preview and comparison of Ionic vs Molecular compounds (in preparation for a lab).  We'll also be covering electronegativity differences as a means of predicting bond types.    Homework for Tuesdayday:   Pre-lab questions and Electronegativity worksheet (odds only).

Tuesday:  Pre-Lab questions due and worksheet on Electroneg differences due.   We will be going over the worksheet and starting the lab activity on Differences between Ionic and Molecular Compounds.

Wed/Thurs:   Continuing with lab activity.  Should be able to complete and turn in by end of period (note, though, that Thurs is an early release day so may affect the timing of finishing lab).

No classes on Friday due to Conferences.   No homework foreseen for the weekend.



Chem-II

Monday:   quick review of neutralization, equivolents and normality.  Introduce titrations and titration problems.   In class problems on titration calculations.   NOTE:   probably a quiz on Tues on all of the above topics.


Tuesday:   Probable quiz on neutralization, equivolents, normality and titrations.   Starting lab on titration.


Wed:  Completing the lab.

NOTE:  Test on Chapter 19 next week  (Tues or Wed).
