Week of March 23 to March 27

Is it really spring?   As cold as January out there this weekend with very little relief in the forecast.  Note that Friday is no school for students (teacher inservice day).

As always, plans, assignments and due dates are subject to changes and/or adjustments;


AP Chem (per 1):

Monday:   Finishing lab on electrochemistry.  Assigning "independent study" on thermochemistry unit.  (See info below ***)

Tues/Wed:   Working on Thermochemistry unit:   Read and complete note pack and calorimetry problems from sections 5-1 through 5-6.    Due on Monday.

(No class on Friday due to inservice) 

 While you should read and take notes on these sections, I strongly suggest that you watch the  "Videos for Thermodynamics" from Bozeman Science site.
