Wednes-Day 2
AP Chem - after the most brutal traffic delay in the history of Long Island...
we spent our half-period introducing the physical structure of particles in the gas phase, and the relationships/quantitative Laws that exist between pairs of variables.
We discussed the reasons for these laws, and how there are no simple liquid laws or solid laws due to the variety of differences among substances in those phases.
However, to a large degree, all collections of gas particles/molecules of any substance "look" and behave very similarly, quantitative relationships/Laws can be measured and verified.
Bio - we finished up the various cell organelles and their respective life functions; we then compared and contrasted prokaryotes (no nucleus cellular organisms, mostly bacteria) and eukaryotes (true nucleus cells/organisms).
We then compared and contrasted plant and animal cells.
In 7/8, we began our plant cell vs. animal cell lab.
