Week of March 17 to March 21, 2014
St. Patrick's day and the first day of spring all in one week. Now all we need is the darn temperature to go up and the snow to melt.
May be a good idea to know "stuff" about St Patricks Day and the first day of spring.
As always, assignments and due dates are subject to changes and adjustments. I will try to update the blog as needed.
Chem-I (per 2,3,6)
Monday: Reviewing half-life problems. Starting Transmutation Problems. Several in class examples. No HW for Tuesday, but...... Quiz on Block Day on half-life and transmutation problems. Also due on block day will be the following: Read/SSS Section 25-3 in textbook and do problems 15 through 20 on page 813.
Tuesday: continuing transmutation problems. Doing a worksheet of practice problems. Note quiz and book assignment for block day.
Block Day: Assignment from 25-3 Due: Read/SSS Section 25-3 in textbook and do problems 15 through 20 on page 813. Quiz on half-life and transmutation. Finishing the Frontline documentary on Fukushima. HW due Friday will be described, but will be research having to do with current/future status of nuclear power in the US.
Friday: Starting topics of fission and nuclear power production.
Not sure if there will be any assignments for the weekend.
Chem-IA (per 7)
Monday: going over quiz from last Thursday. Begin covering fission and nuclear power (Keynote Unit 4). Assignment for Tuesday: Research the current status of nuclear power in US: what percentage of power comes from nukes? how many active nuclear power plants are currently in US? What is the status for any new nuclear plants?
Tuesday: Checking/sharing/reporting on research. Continuing with nuclear power, fission and fusion. Assigning Editorial for Friday.
Block day: Finishing unit (fusion???). Watching History Channel documentary on the Manhattan Project. Note: Editorial due Friday.
Friday: Editorials due. In class activity (to be graded): Town Meeting/Debate.
Note: Test on Radiation Unit next week. Either Tues or Thursday.
