What a gorgeous early fall weekend we just had. It's amazing how the leaves change to beautiful reds, yellows and oranges due to the lack of chlorophyl production that occurs as the day's length shortens and the nighttime temps drop.
It's hard to believe it, but we are now half-way through the first quarter.
As always, assignments and due dates are subject to changes and/or adjustments.
AP Chem (per 1):
Monday: pass back test and go over. Book assignment due Tuesday (new text): Read and "AP"SSS section 10-7, 10-1 and 10-2 (in that order) and do problems page 437 numbers 75 thru 89 odds and page 436 numbers 1 thru 23 odds.
Tuesday: Assignment from 10-7, 10-1 and 10-2 due. Starting to cover Kinetic Theory. In class activity: "What happened.....".
Wed Block: continue with Kinetic Theory and relationship to temp and pressure. Finish "can" activity. Doing 55 Gallon drum implosion.
Friday: (with sub)The class has already been given tasks to complete a short (but high quality) video on the concepts of Kinetic Theory, temp, presure, atmospheric pressure and Implosions. This video will be turned in to Mr. Cat on Tuesday.
Note that on Monday, October 6, the class will divide up into three groups to produce a demo (either live or video) where they will show one of the three gas laws "in action". One group will be assigned Boyles Law (pressure-volume relationship), a second group will be assigned Charles' Law (Temp-Vol relationship), the third group will be assigned Gay-Lussac's Law (aka "the rigid container" law which deals with temp-pressure relationships). Use of google and youtube is ENCOURAGED. Final demos (live or video) are due on Wednesday, October 8th.
Chem-I (per 2,3,6):
Monday: COW due: Magnesium. Cow demo: comparative reactivity of magnesium with various reagents. Finishing P and C lab (teacher demos) and working on conclusion questions. Note that labs will be due on Tuesday. HOMEWORK IS TO FINISH conclusion/results questions 1 thru 4. Numbers 5 and 6 will be done Tuesday and labs turned it. We will finish unit 1 and review on Tues. Unit test will be on Wed/Thurs block day.
Tuesday: Labs due. Reviewing for Unit One test.
Wed/Thurs block: Finish and turn in lab report on the P and C lab. Quick review. Unit one test. When done students will work on COW and/or assignment from Chapter 3 due on Tuesday (College visits by Jrs on Friday/Monday).
Friday/Monday: Jrs will all be on college visits on either Friday or Monday. Therefore the following is due on Tuesday, Oct 7th: COW #3: Calcium and assignment from Chapter 3: Read/SSS Sections 3-1 and 3-2 and do problems page 79 numbers 18 thru 27 and page 97, 98 numbers 57 and 80.
Chem-IA (per 7):
Monday: Sig Fig calculations worksheet due. Going over worksheet. Covering percent error and density. Starting short lab activity on Density Determination. HW: None???? Note: COW #3 on Calcium due next Tuesday.
Tuesday: Finishing Unit 2 and reviewing for test. Continuing with Density Determination lab. Test on Thursday.
Thursday block: TEST on Unit 2. Several groups will need to "re-do" their labs using the CORRECT techniques with sig figs!!!
Friday/Monday: Jrs will all be on college visits on either Friday or Monday. Therefore
the following is due on Tuesday, Oct 7th: COW #3: Calcium and assignment from Unit 3: Read/SSS sections 4-1 and 4-2 in text. Problems p 122 numbers 34 thru 45.
