Just a little update with regards to classes so far.
Periods 1 & 8: Active Chemistry & Community. The classes are beginning to start work in their "logbooks." The "logbooks" are notebooks in which all their chemistry work is put in on a daily basis, like a chemist would do in research. The main laboratory experience for the week will be using electrolysis to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. Also, we will be experiencing the chemical properties of each.
Periods 1 & 3: Chemistry 431. The classes have been working through introductory material regarding the classification of matter, comparing and contrasting chemical and physical properties, and how to work with numerical measurements in calculations. The lab of the week will be to determine the density of carbon dioxide gas from Alka-Seltzer. By the end of this week we should be at a point where a little test would be in order. Details will follow.
