September 4th

Today we went over lab safety and signed the safety contract.  We went over the course outline and the late policy.  We looked at how to organize and perpare a lab book and the marking rubric.  Together we learned about the different branches of the "chemis tree".  Employement as a chemist in a variety of fields and the differences between pure and applied chemists.  We examined what chemist do all day and where you might find them.  Hopefully you have been inspired to continue your studies in Chemistry.  You worked on a review of grand nine and ten chemistry going over the basics.  We also looked at Tom Lehrer's rendition of the Periodic Table.  You were assigned a book and will be responsible to bring it to class with you every day.  You also need your lab book, a scientific calculator, blue or black ink pens and a pencil.

Today you had an iPad Quiz on the Periodic Table based on yesterday's class.  Once completed we went over lab preparation for tomorrrow:  combining alkali metals with water – what could be more fun than explosions?  We went over safety once again and you were reminded to wear closed shoes and bring hair ties.  Your lab book must be ready to go before you can start the experiement.  We also went over how to prepare your lab book once again.  See the handout from September the 4th.
