HON CHEMISTRY – Who knew we’d be doing geometry in chemistry?!? Here’s the lecture on molecular geometry, with a little practice at the beginning on polyatomic ions and resonance. Molecular geometry is super easy. Make sure you know how to draw Lewis structures, then determine the type of ABE structure and you’ve got it. Easy-peazy!

HON CHEMISTRY: Hey guys, great job with Lewis structures, multiple bonds, resonance, and polyatomic ions today. Wow, that was a lot! Here’s some good advice – don’t take shortcuts. Learn the proper steps on the easier molecules, and you’ll be able to do the hard ones. And if it’s still all Greek to you, don’t worry! Keep practicing and you’ll get it, I promise!! Don’t forget to count electrons and don’t forget CONS!

PHYSICS: Did you realize that fluids could produce that much force? Make’s you wonder at the awesome way God designed those beautiful under water sea creatures to withstand so much pressure, doesn’t it? This little creature is a lionfish from the waters of Lembeh, Indonesia. Oh, and here’s the lecture from Monday on Pascal’s law and hydraulics and the like.

HON CHEMISTRY – I just love dots! Here’s the lecture on drawing Lewis structures. Practice, practice, practice. You can do it! Warning: before you know it, you’ll be seeing dots everywhere!

Chemistry in poetry – who’d of thought of such a thing? Any questions? Don’t forget to print out the Periodic Table of Poetry Mini Project requirements – you can find it posted in the project section under the tab at the top or on Edline. And then, you sign up here by posting a comment with your element. The person who signs up first gets that element. Only one person per element for all the classes! Christian Wilburn is first with carbon!

Here are a few samples I found at wordchurchscience.edublogs.org These are just for fun, though!! They below don’t follow the guidelines you have to follow from your project sheet!
