With the exception of Chemistry I, there is no new work assigned over break. Have a great Winter Break, and a Happy New Year.
Chemistry: Complete the Naming Ionic Compounds WS assigned today, and make your flash cards. All of this is due on Monday, January 3, 2011!

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.

Physics: We collected all of the data we needed for the Atwood's Machine Lab. We will be heading to the computer lab tomorrow to graph and analyze data.
AP Chemistry: Today we did the Molar Volume of a Gas Lab. We will work on this lab more tomorrow during class. Just a reminder, that the Chapter 11 Take-Home Quiz is due on Jan. 17. Break might be a good time to work on some of it!
Chemistry: We corrected the Binary Molecular Compound Nomenclature assignment. Then we discussed Ionic Compounds and their nomenclature. I assigned WS 2, odds only, for tomorrow.
Physical Science: We discussed the review assignment for tomorrow's exam.

If you have a student that is going to be missing class prior to break, please have them check with me on what work they need to get done.
Physics: We began Unit 5 today, and set up to collect data for a new lab today. Tomorrow we will be collecting data in lab.
AP Chemistry: We took the Chapter 9 quiz today, and collected homework. We will begin the Molar Volume of a Gas Lab tomorrow.
Chemistry: We discussed the results of the Conductivity Lab, and then talked about molecular compounds and covalent bonding. I assigned WS 1 for tomorrow.
Physical Science: After discussing results to last Friday's Solubility Lab, I assigned the Unit 8 Review for tomorrow. We will be taking a test on this material on Wednesday.

Physics: We did the problems that students brought in for class today. The problems were well thought out, but trig functions still pose an issue. Tomorrow is the Unit 4Exam, so studying those functions is a nessecity.
AP Chemistry: WE finished discussing material from Chapter 9, so tomorrow in class we will have homework time. The Unit Quiz will be on Monday.
Chemistry: We did the Conductivity Lab in class today. The Post Lab questions are due for class tomorrow.
Physical Science: We finished notes on Unit 8. Students were assigned WS 3, which is due tomorrow at the start of class.

Physics: On Monday students were to discuss the unit review assignment given to them on Friday. They prepared whiteboards for the force diagram problems, which we discussed today in class. Tuesday, they watched a video. Today we discussed the review assignment in class and took questions. Students were assigned to make their own force problem, complete with solution for class tomorrow. This will eb the final review before the unit test on Friday.
AP Chemistry: On Monday students were to finish their Activity Series lab, which was collected today. On Tuesday, students were assigned a Take-Home Unit Quiz, which is due on January 17. They then were to start reading Chapter 9 for class today. We will be taking the Chapter 9 quiz and collecting homework on Monday. The next lab, which is the Molar volume of a gas will be on Tuesday of next week.
Chemistry: On Monday this classes watched a video. Yesterday, lab groups got together and discussed the lab results from Friday's Sticky Tape Lab. Today we looked at what students had discussed, and follow-ed up with some notes on electrostatic forces in atoms.
Physical Science: On Monday these classes watched a video. On Tuesday, students were to read Chapter 8, Section2 in the text book, and work on Worksheet 2. Also, the section questions were assigned as extra credit. Some students took advantage of this, many did not. The assignment was due at the end of the hour. Today, we did lecture notes on the same section from the book, as students had many questions about this material. I gave them back their Worksheet 2 assignment in case they wanted to make any changes.
A note about commendations and deficiencies: Since I was absent when these were due, only deficiencies were printed off for this quarter. I had them done prior to the weekend. Many students were inline to receive commendations, but I was not able to get them printed. I apologize for this, and if you have any questions, please let me know.

Quick Post
I have been out of school for the past two days due to illness. This is why there have not been any posts over the last couple of days. I will write a big report on what has been going on, later this afternoon.
