Mon-Day 1
AP Chem- looked over our generally well-written and calculated Gas unit exam. Please heed the advice to avoid careless errors on future tests. You are putting a lot of time and effort into your tests so you might as well go full throttle and check that you are doing things in detail with special attention to test-taking skills. Avoiding test skills costs you not only points, but also TIME because you spend time on questions that do not even exist.
We started thermo today by going over some basic definitions and formulas. It is very important that these concepts MAKE SENSE to you from the beginning because you won't know what SIGNS to use or how to relate the various state functions as we get more practically into the unit. Study and review the notes each day; you can also check out the many tutorials that I am posting for this dry, direct, INSIDE-the-box unit.
Bio (all) - we discussed translation, transcription, mutations and the various test skills for tomorrow. I just posted another practice quiz and unit summary as well as the solutions to today's worksheets. The hw's looked pretty solidly aligned with the state objectives for the Regents and for your similar test tomorrow so good luck, follow the test skills advice, and I look forward to seeing you show off your knowledge.
