Test(s) Monday!

Honors Biology and Academic Chemistry…

Both classes have their Unit 2 test on Monday. I would really rather not do a test right after a weekend, but if you have concerns or questions please ask me on Friday! (remember tomorrow is our Day of Service and Friday’s classes are shortened for Counties and Mass)

The study guides are posted, and I will post answer keys to them this weekend.

Biology… pay special attention to the Vocab List.

Chemistry… pay special attention to the calculations (# of atoms, molar mass, % comp, and energy transfer).  Go back through my older posts (Like this one)for review.

Sorry to disappoint, but…

Try not to be too upset that I’m not there.

I have a family emergency and won’t be able to come in today. I will try to have the tests graded ASAP but the important info is what you will be doing today in my absence.

Chemistry: Follow the directions on the board and find the video and documents on the Chem. Semester 1 page.

Biology: Complete the steps listed on the board in order.

  • Complete the warm up on a new “Note”: 
    1. What is an atom?
    2. What is an element?
    3. What is a bond?
    4. T/F – In the living world of anything determines it’s function
  • Watch this YouTube video over the notes we were going to take today
  • Do the “Periodic Table Labeling” on the back of your packet
    • The instructions are located at your table (please leave them there neatly at the end of the period)
    • Colored pencils and markers are located in the back. Please take what you need, share, and return the items when you’re done
  • Complete the Chemistry Practice tables in the middle of the packet as homework

Please stay on task and do not disrupt others who are trying to work… or you might have this guy show up to class on Wednesday

From the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services

We have been contacted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to give input into what could potentially become a national crisis. To this point, the threat is real but the problem is still a few months from coming to fruition.

Key West Needs Water

The tiny tourist destination is on the verge of a crisis. Please read the details in the attached powerpoint and forward your plan on to Mr. Kubuske. After all the plans have been gathered, we’ll send them on to our contact in Washington.

Lab Safety… it’s no Accident

Today we’ll be going over some important information about your safety in a Lab setting. After review the Lab Safety rules (check the documents page for your specific class for a PDF version), take a look at the image below. See if you can spot some incidences of failing to follow lab procedures for safety.

Reminder there will be a “Common Sense” Lab Safety Quiz tomorrow for Biology and Chemistry
