We are now back from vacation, and with that, the end of the semester is quickly approaching. I will give details about final exams at some point next week.
Physics: Today we discussed the results of our Atwood's Lab from last week. Lab books will be due tomorrow, and we will also be taking a short quiz based upon this lab, and the relationships built from Newton's Second Law of Motion.
AP Chemistry: Today we began discussing shapes of molecules, chapter 10. The chapter quiz will be either Friday or Monday.
Chemistry: Today we went over the assignment from before break, naming of ionic compounds. We also played the game "Go Fish for Ions." This is a card game, similar to "Go Fish!" only using cards with cations and anions on them. It helps students learn how to name ionic compounds.
Physical Science: We did an exploratory lab today called The Slinky Lab. In this lab, students used Slinky's to create different kinds of waves, and then make some observations based upon them. This lab is a lead into our study of the basics of waves, their properties, and behaviors.
