Nuclear Chenistry

Quiz on Tuesday. You will be quizzed on the first 12 elements. You have to know their atomic number, position on the periodic table and name and symbol.

We are starting nuclear chemistry. For links to:

• Notes to the unit by Mark Rosengarten. Or to all his units. 
• Chem textbook. To get this material you have to be logged onto a gasd.org account.
• Class notes:
• Two per page, full color
• 6 per page, black and white.

For Wednesday (Thursday, due to PSATs) students have to develop a list of vocabulary for the new unit. Do not use words from previous units. Have a list of 10 words and their definitions. You have to know what these definitions are, and they should be written in your own words. Copying definitions and not understanding them will receive no credit.

Friday there will be a quiz on vocabulary and types of radiation.

 

The makeup test is online at Castle Learning. You have until Monday morning 11/2 at 8 AM to complete. Students that score 85 or above will have the averages of this and their original score as their test grade.

The Spectra lab is due for the 2nd period class on Wed, and for the 6th period class on Thursday.
On Friday we will have a test on the Atomic Structure unit.

Forensics - Poisoner's Handbook

We are watching the movie Poisoner's Handbook. You can go here to watch, in case you missed part or want to see it again. We will do the activity related to the Poisoner's Handbook in media lab.

This assignment will be due Monday, 10/26. Complete one section for full credit. Complete an additional section with 9 or 10 correct answers and get 20 bonus % credit. 8 correct gets you 10 % bonus.

Atomic structure

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

We started a lab on atomic structure. For a copy, click here. This lab will be due on Friday, 10/16, for the second period class; and Monday, 10/19 for the 6th period class.

We will have a vocabulary quiz on Thursday, 10/15 and a heating curve quiz on Friday, 10/16.

There is a makeup test on Castle Learning. Students will have until midnight Wednesday 10/21. To improve the grade students must complete by this time with a score of 85 or above. If a score of 85 or above is attained the Castle Learning grade will be averaged with the test grade, and the score will be recorded as this average. There is nothing to lose, and it is good practice for important information.

Forensics

We are putting together, literally, evidence from a crime. The worksheet that is due is here. This report will be due on Monday, 10/19.

The documents to solve the case can be found here.
