First off, I want to commend all our students, staff, coaches, parents and everyone associated with GHS. Last week was a challenge to say the least and, while it was tough and the loss of a fellow student will linger for a long time, the GHS family did itself proud.
Now, on to the FINAL WEEK of the first quarter. Hard to believe. If any of you have any make up work, you MUST get it taken care of by Friday at 2:15 PM or grades of zero will be entered. Incompletes will only be offered in extreme circumstances after a given student has discussed his/her situation with Mr. Caterina.
As always, assignments, due dates and general plans are subject to changes and/or adjustment.
Let's have a great week.
BTW: don't forget that "All Hallow's Eve" falls on Friday. BOOOOOO!!!!
AP Chem (per 1):
Monday: Homework due from sectin 10-8 in text: Read/SSS 10-8 on Graham's Law and complete problems 10-82 through 10-90 evens. Charles Law lab will be returned (Bic lighter lab still needs to be grades as of Monday). We will be covering Graham's law via a Youtube lesson and working on Graham Law problems. Homework will be to finish Graham's Law problems worksheet.
Tuesday: Reviewing for test on Unit on Kinetic Theory and Gases. Lots of practice problems.
Wednesday: Exam on Unit. This will be the final grade for the 1st quarter. NOTE: ASSIGNMENT DUE ON TUES, Nov 4th: Read/APSSS ALL of Chapter 11. Complete Problems on pages 473-475 numbers 9 thru 71 odds. (answers in back of book).
Friday: SCUBA science with guest, Paul Rollins.
See above for assignment due on TUES.
Chem-I (per 2, 3, 6):
Monday: Due today: COW (#5) on Copper. Going over COW. COW #6 on Zinc will be due next Monday, Nov 3rd. Labs due on Density Determination. Begin Reviewing for UNIT 2 test/handouts. Test will be on block day. Reminder that Class Partic and homework grades will be finalized this week as the quarter comes to an end.
Tuesday: Reviewing for test.
Wed/Thurs Block: Test on Unit 2. Final "big grade" of first quarter. Starting assignment from Chapter 4 due on Monday (see Friday)

Thurs Block: Review Bohr's models/examples/isotopes/similarities. Cont'd with Bohr: Beyond the Basics (the "bridge" to Quantum Mechanics"). Some class time (approx 40 min) will be set aside for Project work on making storyboards/writing scripts. There will very likely be a quiz on Friday on SubUnt 3C to-date (stuff from this week). This quiz will probably actually count as a 2nd quarter grade.
