Dec. 22, 2010

Physics: today we were in the computer lab, analyzing data from the Atwood's Machine Lab. For Monday after break, students are to have their graphs and data tables in their lab books, relationships identified, and line equations written.

AP Chemistry: We spent the hour working on post-lab for the Molar Volume of a Gas Lab. This will be due Tuesday after break. We will also be starting CH 10 when we get back.

Chemistry: Today we went over the assigned ionic nomenclature problems. We reviewed what students are supposed to do to write those equations, and come up with the correct names. After questions, I assigned the rest of the WS for homework tomorrow.

I also assigned the making of flash cards for naming ionic compounds. Students are to make flash cards of all transitions metals and polyatomic ions on their yellow-green cheat sheet. One side should have the name, and the other side the symbol and ionic charge. They should also make these for all group 14 elements.

Physical Science: We took the Unit 8 Exam today. We will look over tests tomorrow.
