Class Blog 12/10/13

Right when we walking into class Mrs. F gave everyone a Band-aid and told us not to open it. We then all went to the back of the room and turned off the lights. On the count of three we all ripped our Band-Aids open, and if you were looking closely, you could see a small glow, or light, be given off.  It was a fun opening experiment at the beginning of class to get the day started about electrons and how they can give off light while jumping to different levels of energy in an atom. 

We then continued our notes from yesterday in our journals. They are posted in the Unit 6 Notes folder on moodle

The notes may be very confusing for you, but do not worry. Try the homework at home whether you understand it or not. This is a class were we need to get use to not getting it the first or second day. 


Classes were 40min today because of the Sports Assembly, so it was a shortened period 


Tuesday, 12/10 Homework

1) The worksheet "Electron Configurations and Orbital Diagrams" (posted in the Unit 6 Handouts folder) has 4 pages to it; do only the FIRST TWO pages for homework tonight.  I gave this out yesterday, but the handout is dated as today since I did not assign it until today.  Today's notes are posted in the Unit 6 Notes folder; they (and your text) should help you.  I will check in both tonight's homework and last night's homework (the Quantum Numbers worksheet) tomorrow in class.

2) Have you read "Bill Bryson -- The Mighty Atom" (posted in the Unit 6 Notes folder) yet?  You really should.

3) The review packet is now due on TUESDAY, 12/17, NOT TOMORROW.  Our unit test will take place on THURSDAY, 12/19.

4) Plan for a quiz on everything in Unit 6 (so far) on FRIDAY of this week (the lucky 13th).  :)

Enjoy your late arrival tomorrow!
