Bio - we reviewed the female reproductive system as well as the ovulation process.
Our main focus was the complex and magnificent hormonal regulation of the female reproductive system / menstrual cycle.
I posted a great animation that shows, pretty simply, the hormonal and physical changes that occur during each of the four phases: the follicle stage, ovulation, the luteal stage, and menstruation.
We did a reinforcement lab in which we took images of the significant events of the cycle and organized them in sequence on a calendar.

AP Chem - did two review problems involving acidic and basic salts and then discussed Lewis acid-base theory to show how metal oxides form basic solutions and how non-metal oxides form acidic solutions.

For the test tomorrow, there won't be questions regarding Lewis acid base theory but you can expect questions on the following topics:
Bronsted acid base theory: conjugates, predicting and explaining whether products or reactants are favored for a given acid-base reaction, given Ka's and/or Kb's.
Strong and weak acid pH, pKa, or [HA] questions, given sufficient information.
Strong and weak base pH, pKa, or [B] questions, given sufficient information.
Polyprotic acid equilibria calculations.
Acidic, basic, or neutral salt predictions with explanations based on hydrolysis reactions.
Relative strengths of acids explained in terms of bond strength AND bond polarity.
Acidic or basic salt pH calculations.

STUDY the NOTES FIRST. Then practice doing the problems as we do them IN THE NOTES.
Thank you.
