Monday/Tuesday November 29/30th

Hello and welcome back.  I hope your thanksgiving day break went well and you all ate heaping handfuls of food and good cheer.  Though, I know you can't really eat cheer.

Today in class we finished off our Chemistry Notes Part 2.  Looking at covalent bonds and the wonderful properties of water, I showed a couple of demo's the helped solidify how chemical bonds are formed and broken.  We should have understood that energy is needed to make or break chemical bonds, and often times, when you use a small amount of activation energy, we can often get out more energy than we initially used.  This is the case with the human body's breakdown of glucose molecules for energy.

Refer to the last post on where to download the powerpoint and note sheet if you weren't here for either.

Tomorrow, we're going into the lab to look at the cohesive properties of some chemicals and then we'll test on Friday.

I repeat: TEST ON FRIDAY!!!
