This is the lab on Uranium decay chain. This lab is due for both classes on Thursday, 11/5.



The notes for the nuclear chemistry unit links: 

• 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. 

 We will be having a test on Nov 10. This test will be a combination of the school 1st quarter test, which is cumulative, and a test on the nuclear unit. The makeup on Castle Learning will be on the nuclear materials, only.

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.
