Thurs-Day 1
AP Chem- took the Thermochemistry Unit Exam, which also included a descriptive chemistry set. We will finish the rest of Thermodynamics i.e. Entropy and Gibbs Free Energy when we do the penultimate unit in our course (in April!).
All units from here on in are more challenging and more heavily tested on the AP exam.
Tomorrow, we begin the Bonding Unit, the second-longest unit in the course and the MOST important unit in qualitatively understanding chemistry. The bonding unit is the logical extension of the two units on atomic/electronic structure and periodicity. Now that you know Zeff and OPEL's, you will be applying that knowledge to every single conceivable bonding or intermolecular attraction phenomenon.
Understanding of the bonding and intermolecular attraction unit, per se, means that you truly understand chemistry.
Bio 6/7- we started two experiments today: one was on photosynthesis and noting changes that occur in a carbon dioxide saturated solution when plants are placed in light; the other experiment involved observing changes in solution due to the anaerobic/alcoholic fermentation of sugar by yeast cells. We will view and explain the results of the experiment, tomorrow.
Bio 8-we started one of two experiments today: one was on photosynthesis and noting changes that occur in a carbon dioxide saturated solution when plants are placed in light; the other experiment, which we will do tomorrow, involved observing changes in solution due to the anaerobic/alcoholic fermentation of sugar by yeast cells. We will view and explain the results of the experiment, tomorrow.
