Sorry about being not keeping up on the chemistry blog the past couple of weeks. 

As usual, subject to change and/or adjustments.


Chem-I:

Monday:  Memorial Day

Tuesday:   Tests on Unit 6 chemical rxns returned and go over.   Starting problem solving with conversion factors (using simple things like money, time and primitive barter societies).  Homework for Wed/Thurs block is doing the worksheet on conversion problems using "factor-label" method to show work

Wed/Thurs:   Worksheet on conversion problems due.  Going over problems stressing the importance of setting up problems using labels and canceling out units (i.e. factor-label method).   Starting the final unit on The Mole Concept (intro is on Keynote and posted on Catchem wiki).   Lots of analogies, samples and examples.   Some book problems on Mole-Particle problems are most likely going to be assigned for homework (check on assignment board at end of class).

Friday:  Reviewing mole-particle.  Going over any homework.  Mini-lab activity:   "Just how big is a mole?".  This will have a challenge problem for opportunity to earn extra points.  Due by end of period.   Probably no homework for the weekend.
