Chemistry 11:  We looked at the answer key for the "States of Matter" WS and we went over the Scientific Notation WS.  A short survey was completed, so your instructor knows a little more about you.  We read through a list of lab safety rules and we categorized the rules as A (all students know this already), S (some students know this), F (few students know this) or ? (if you are not sure of the meaning).  We began reading sections 1.1 to 1.6 in Hebdon Chemistry 11 and completing the map that is described in the reading. More time will be given for this task tomorrow.

Chemistry 12:  We began by reviewing the Rates WS answer key and some of the key terms learned Wednesday (rate of reaction, spectrophotometer, etc).  We read sections 1.1 and 1.2 in Hebdon Chemistry 12 and completed Unit 1 # 1-9, which is due Friday.  

Science 8:  We reviewed the classroom safety equipment (name and how to use it) as well as the classroom safety rules.  Time was spent learning the names of lab equipment, and we made a 3 column table where we write the name and function of 10 pieces of equipment, along with sketches.  Tables need to tidy and easy to read, with rows and columns that line up.  In the final minutes we talked about how in Science that questions are answered by performing experiments.  We brainstormed how we would use the equipment to decide which travel mug (Mr. Gale's silver thermos or Ms. Wood's fancy peach colored mug) is better at insulating hot chocolate.
