Tuesday Sept 7th

1st Honors
Today we learned about the atom, and it's history. We made atomic snowflakes and handed in worksheet 1.2. We were assigned worksheet 1.3 on dimensional analysis. We were reminded that the extra credit "skittles, m&m's, or Rhees'" are due by Monday. We were told to go to the web site and read through the following:Your Text…More on the periodic table:

Today I pushed 3 worksheets that were due till next time, but I added the significant figure worksheets (2). We performed the % composition of gum - due next time. We were assigned Element posters due on Monday. See term project and element project under 1st term for more information. If you forgot your numbers e-mail me. A-day posters are 8" x 8". We learned about the atom and made atomic snowflakes which if they weren't finished are due next time.

Second Week of School...

Wow, where has the week gone. We are following the calendars. Please make sure that you are keeping up.

The grade book is current as of 4:30 pm today. If you don't agree please see me soon. Please let me know if you can't see the calendars. I have reloaded Regular and AP Calendars.

AP notice that I have pushed back the due date on the assignments. Please do the problems that you can...we will be doing more notes next time and hopefully be caught up on the lecture portion.

Please let me know ASAP if you don't understand anything. That is for ALL CLASSES!

I will post the pink shoes only sign on lab days as a reminder... make sure that you are looking at the calendar. Remember that I told you to keep a pair of shoes available at school if you like to wear flip flops. I will try to remind you the day before...but I might forget.

August 26 Thursday

Regular Chemistry - 5, 6 and Honors chemistry 8th
Today we did part of a power point up until the mass slide. (Not 8th)

We did a 1.1 Mixtures- Chromatography lab (regular straight line chromatography and honors radial chromatography) and learned how to write it up a lab. (In honors we set up our lab notebooks).

We got a large periodic table, lab equipment sheet, and hazardous materials sheet. We had questions answered on the online assignements.
Chem 1 is the textbook.

We also got an assignment to make a density column with three layers of liquid and 2 floating object due Wednesday next week. 50 points. Each additional layer or floating object is 5 points up to a total of 100 points.

Remember that extra credit candy M&M's , skittles, or Reese (12-16oz) deadline is coming up.

http://www.davis.k12.ut.us/webs/showell/resources.htm You need to answer the first three questions and the last four questions of the first section in a google document www.google.com/a/davis.k12.ut.us and submit it to me. Login with the year you graduate first initial and last name. The password is your pin#. Then choose docs. Then on the left hand side of the next page is a button that says create new. Choose document. It will bring up a word document. Type in your answers to the 7 questions. When you are finished, there is a button on the right side that says share. Share it with me at showell@dsdmail.net

Chem Think http://www.davis.k12.ut.us/webs/showell/resources.htm - is a tutorial and online homework assignment. You will need to register and then do the tutorial and the questions under the Introduction.

I hope this clears things up.

First two days....

Wow! AP, Honors, and Regular Welcome back!

Sorry we have been having computer problems. I hope that most of the issues are taken care of. We will be getting our computers in our room updated I hope soon.

I now have loaded on the web site a quick link to the google docs hopefully this will solve some of the problems that most of you have been encountering.

I have also loaded the calendar/assignment link under each of the different chemistry classes. Individual months for all classes are not updated. However I have put the term up. It is in a word document and has the links that you need for your homework. It will be continually updated. AP yours is under Term 1. Honors and Regular yours is under your calendar choice.

We have for the most part been following the calendar...except AP your books were not passed out today as they should have been. Next time. Work ahead on the Chem Thinks because we will need to do the book work assignment that you missed doing today because you didn't have a book. Also, look at the chapter 1 power point. We will go through it next time.

Please remember to name your documents Term period assignment# last-name first-name Example: 1 3 1 Hess Jacob I am having many documents turned in with no name attached. If you want credit make sure you have saved it correctly before you share it with me.
