Events in the classroom of Coach Grayson, MMS Football, and MMS Basketball
11-30-17
Students took notes and discussed the theory and reasons why chemists believe light is a wave, then began to discuss the Photoelectric Effect and how light can be a particle.
12-1-17
Students took notes on the Quantum Theory and how it relates to Electrons in Atoms.
Students took notes on Boyles Law after discussing the effects of Boyles Law on gases. Then we worked 3 practice problems using Boyles Law's equation. We also used Algebra to determine V1, V2, P1, and P2. They were assigned the Boyles' Law Word Problem WS for homework/classwork. We also had a Bronze grade (calculator in class) today.
Students will receive their 1st Sem. Exam Rev. Guide on Tuesday of Next Week.
We went over the PowerPoint explained Archimedes Principle and its factors. Then, we went over Pascal's Principle and how it is used in the real world. Then, for homework, they completed the Pressure Word Problem WS (30 pts).
11-27 (Monday)
Students completed the Electrons in Atoms Review Questions (60 pts) in class, and had the Vocabulary (76 pts) for homework.
11-28 (Tuesday)
Students then began taking notes from the Electrons in Atoms PowerPoint discussing the parts of an atom, the problems w/Rutherford's model of the atom and the electromagnetic spectrum. We concluded class discussing the properties of transverse waves (wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed)
11-29 (Wednesday)
Students continued taking notes on the properties of waves and how we determine the relationship between frequency and wavelength. We then learned the speed of the members of the electromagnetic spectrum and how it differs from the visible spectrum. Then we had a worksheet on how to calculate wave speed using frequency and c. They had a Wave Speed WS for homework (30 pts)
11-27 (Monday)
Students took notes on the states of matter emphasizing the Kinetic theory, and the states of matter (definitions) and examples.
11-28 (Tuesday)
Students continued taking notes from the PowerPoint emphasizing the way that the Kinetic theory draws the states of matter and the involvement of energy in the changes of states. We concluded by stating defining, and describing the 6 Phase Changes in the states of matter.
11-29 (Wednesday)
We took notes and discussed the involvement of energy in the phase changes, how to read graphs and thermal expansion.
Students took the "Structure of the Atom" Vocabulary Test (50 pts) and the Chapter Test (100 pts) today. Have a wonderful, joyous and FULL Thanksgiving. Be sure to be thankful for all that God has blessed you and your family with!!
Students completed the Solid, Liquid, and Gas Review Questions (60 pts) in Class today. Have a Happy and Festive Thanksgiving to all!!!
We finished the PowerPoint on Structure of Matter where students learning about the three types of nuclear reactions w/radioactivity. Then they began the Structure of Matter Ch. Assessment (90 pts). We took the Structure of Matter Voc. Test (50 pts) at the some point during class. They will have the Structure of Matter Chapter Test tomorrow.
Students received their Classification of Matter Chapter Test (100 pts) and Vocabulary Test (34 pts)back. Then, we completed the Solid, Liquid, and Gas Vocabulary (40 pts) in class.
Students took the Classification of Matter Voc. Test (34 pts), we went over the answers and then they took the Classification of Matter Test (100 pts).
