Students learned how to draw electron configurations using the following rules: Aufbau, Pauli Exclusion Principle, and Hund's rule. We also learned the shorthand notation and orbital diagram notation. They were assigned the Electron configuration Notation WS (56 pt) for homework. We will cover valence electrons and complete the WS on Wednesday as well as have the Electrons in Atoms Voc. Test on Wednesday. They will have the Electrons in Atoms Voc. Test on Thursday. They will have the Solid, Liquid and Gas Chapter Test on Thursday. Once again, they were reminded to pick up the 1st Sem. Exam Rev. Guide to prepare for the 1st Semester Exam next week.
Solid, Liquids, & Gases
Student learned about the relationship between volume and temperature of a gas as long as the pressure remains constant (Charles Law). We learned how to solve for each of the variables in Charles Law and how it affects tires and balloons. After finishing the Charles Law WPWS (40 pt) students completed the Solid, Liquid, and Gas Crossword Puzzle (42 pt) for homework and to prepare for the Solid, Liquid and Gas Voc. Test on tomorrow. They will have the Solid, Liquid and Gas Chapter Test on Thursday. Once again, they were reminded to pick up the 1st Sem. Exam Rev. Guide to prepare for the 1st Semester Exam on Monday, Dec. 16.
Electrons in Atoms
Students continued the notes and discussion from the PowerPoint "Electrons in Atoms" as we covered the Quantum Theory of the Atom, orbital shapes, Pauli Exclusion Principle and Hunds Rule. We completed class as students began the examples of Electron Configurations WS. Students were reminded orally and on the board of the Electrons in Atoms Voc. Test on Wednesday and Chapter Test on Thursday. They can pick up their 1st Sem. Exam Review Guide at any time during the week.
Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Students completed the Boyles Law Word Problem WS (40 pt) in class. They were reminded of the "Solids, Liquids, and Gases" Vocabulary Test on Wednesday and Chapter Test on Thursday. They were told to pick up the 1st Sem. Exam Study Guide whenever they were ready. We will begin answering questions on Thursday after the Chapter Test.
Electrons in Atoms
Students learned about the photoelectric effect and how it benefits us today as we began to see light as a particle. We learned about Einstein's contribution to the light theory and how atomic emission spectra help us identify energy.
Solid, Liquid, and Gases
Students took notes from the PowerPoint on Diffusion, Buoyancy, and Pressure. Students were allowed to complete a word problem worksheet on how to calculate the pressure on an object w/force and area. The Pressure WPWS (20 pt) was due tomorrow.
Solid, Liquid, and Gases
Students went over the way in which energy can change the state of matter in a substance. We also began talking about changes in states of matter.
Electrons in Atoms
Students went over how to read the Electromagnetic Spectrum and the properties of waves. We went over amplitude, wavelength, speed, and frequency and how they determine wave properties. They were assigned a Wave Speed Word Problem WS (30 pt) for homework.
Electrons in Atoms
Students began notes on "Electrons in Atoms" from the PowerPoint. They were reminded to have a calculator for class tomorrow. The objectives for the early part of the chapter were emphasized as well as the current structure of the atom and scientists who discovered the parts. They were reminded to have all of the information from the 1st day in preparation for the 1st Semester Exam in 2 weeks.
Solid, Liquid, & Gases
Students took notes from the PowerPoint on the Kinetic Theory, states of matter, their definitions and relations of energy among the states of matter. We will be moving rapidly to cover all of the material on Solids, Liquids and Gases prior to the 1st Semester Exam. They were reminded to have a calculator for class on tomorrow.
