Tues-Day 1
Bio- we began our Regents review by attacking the January 07 LE exam; I'm glad that the class is taking the review seriously because we all can learn a lot about how to take a test while also reviewing our course material in general. Over the next three weeks, save each of these annotated exams so that you can clearly see the connection between key words in the questions and the correct answers. Note the EXTREME words that are commonly used in WRONG answer choices. See, from our practices, how to properly construct a DETAILED correct answer that addresses all of the points required by the question.
I'll post the rest of our exam with proper annotations on Blackboard.
PLEASE practice taking your tests the way that they are annotated/marked up/drawn on in class. This method will ensure that you maximize your score and improve your understanding of these tests.
Chem 7- I'll hand out the hard copy of the nuclear review packet BUT I scanned a copy of the packet with basic answer key; download it from Blackboard.
We discussed the nuclear fission process that goes on in nuclear reactors as well as the uncontrolled fission required for a nuclear bomb. We looked at some of the benefits and problems of nuclear power. We contrasted nuclear fusion with nuclear fission and saw how these energy releasing processes convert nuclear mass into energy i.e. E= mc^2
Chem 8/9- I'll hand out the hard copy of the nuclear review packet BUT I scanned a copy of the packet with basic answer key; download it from Blackboard.

We then discussed food irradiation, which safely destroys bacteria on perishable foods without the use of chemicals/pesticides.
