Last week before break. Lots of snow on the ground and real cold. Certainly feels like winter now.
Don't expect any change in plans, but.... all plans and due dates are subject to change (in extreme situations).
Chem-I (periods 2,3,6): Project videos are DUE MONDAY. I need a copy of your video either on DVD, flash drive or I will need to see the completed video. Any video that is not turned in to me by the time I leave GHS (4:30 PM) will be late and points will be deducted accordingly. We will be doing a practice round of "peer scoring" using a past video. Remember that your project's final grade is 50 % teacher evaluation, 25 % peer evaluations, 25 % group "self-evalution". Individual adjustments will be made as necessary based on individual effort as part of your group. Presentations will begin on Tuesday and continue through block day. It is my hope that your project will be scored by Friday.
Chem-IA (per 7): SAME as above.
Chem-II: (per 1): Science career paper due MONDAY. Group presentations on 15-2, 15-3 and 16-1 will be done on Monday. Career project presentations will begin on Tuesday and continue to end of the week.
Let's have a great week and a fantastic vacation.

Week of Dec 9 to Dec 13, 2013
Two more weeks until vacation. Sitting here on Sunday morning wondering, like most of you will be, too, what Monday's weather forecast will bring. My guess (for what it's worth) is that we will have school with a possible delay. I guess we'll find out on Monday morning:)
*UPDATE: My weather predictions were half right, half wrong.... school was, indeed, held, but early release at 11 AM. See adjustments** added Monday evening.
Reminder that Wed is an early release day with 60 min blocks for periods 2, 4 and 7. Thursday will follow a "wednesday block" schedule of per 1,3,5,7.
Speaking ofpotential messy weather, as usual, plans, assignments and due dates are subject to change and/or adjustments. **
Chem-I (periods 2,3,6):
Monday: ASSIGNMENT DUE: read/sss section 5-1 and do problems on page 149 numbers 22 through 29. COW #10 (Final COW) assigned (the organic Alkanes) and due on Friday. We will starting unit 3C (and keynote 3C) on early atomic models. Thomson, Rutherford and Bohr. No direct HW due on Tuesday. There will be a pre-lab due on Wed/Thurs and there will be a quiz on Friday on 3C to-date. Project videos due NEXT MONDAY (Dec 16th) (** period 6 see below)
Tuesday: Review/continue with Bohr models. Lesson on "Bohr Models: Beyond the Basics" introducing concepts that lead to the Quantum Mechanical Model. HW for Wed/Thurs is pre-lab questions. Due Friday: COW #10 and a Quiz. Due Monday: Videos. (** For period 6, we will do a quicker version of covering Bohr Models before moving on to "Beyond the Basics". Prelab still due on block day).
Wed/Thurs blocks: Pre-Lab questions due. Lab Activity on Flame Tests. Possibly some time to work on projects, too. Due Friday: Labs, COWs. Due Monday: Videos. We will be presenting videos and grading projects next week.
Friday: COW due (Alkanes). Quiz on 3C to-date (early models, drawing Bohr models, beyond the basics concepts). Note that videos on DVD or flash drives will be due on Monday.
Chem-IA: period 7
Monday Tuesday. Pre-lab are now due on Wednesday. We will do the lab on Wednesday and follow the updated plans below due to early release on Monday.
Tuesday: COW #10 (Final COW) assigned (the organic Alkanes) and due on Friday. Reminder: Project videos due NEXT MONDAY (Dec 16th). We will be doing a lab activity on Flame Tests during Wednesday's block. Labs to be turned in on Friday. We will begin Unit 3D on Quantum Mechanical Model today (Key Note 3D). When? Who? Based on? Comparisons to Bohr's Model.
Wednesday block: Lab Activity on Flame Tests (originally scheduled for Monday). There may be some time to work on projects, too. Due Friday: COWs., lab reports. Due Monday: Videos.
Friday: Last COW due (alkanes). Project work. Videos due on Monday on DVD or flash drives.
Chem-II: Period 1
Monday: lab activity from 15-1. Due Thurs: Section summary group presentations. Due Friday: Career papers. Due Monday Dec 16 will be career presentations.
Tuesday: Finish lab if necessary. Work on Section Summary group projects (15-2, 15-3 and 16-1) which are DUE on Thursday (note Wed blocks will be on Thursday this week).
Thursday: Section Summary Presentations on 15-2, 15-3 and 16-1. Note: Career papers due on Monday. Presentations begin on Monday.
Friday: Papers Due. Preparing for presentations (Everyone MUST be ready on Monday).
