Monday/Tuesday, November 8th & 9th

Hello and I hope your weekend went well.

Today we finished up the lab we started on Friday, exploring elements.  You should have all 8 stations filled out and the lab should have been turned in today.

We came back in to the classroom and I gave you your HOMEWORK; a 5 page packet reading about the periodic table.  If you didn't get in class, you need to see me after school to pick one up.  We will have a reading quiz over the reading next class period, Wednesday.

If you weren't in class to receive the packet, you can get the same basic information from this wonderful website: http://www.chemicool.com/ Check it out, a lot of really neat and great information.

We next went on to the crux of our unit, learning about the atom.

I handed out the first notesheet for this unit.  You can download it: Atom Notesheet One

And, to go with that wonderful notesheet, download the powerpoint presentation as a .pdf right here: Atom Notes, set one
That should get you a lot of the information you need.

Tomorrow in class we'll do a fun demonstration to show how atoms are related in the periodic table and, if there's time left over, talk about what makes chemistry so cool.
