- Review topics for unit 2 on Dynamics of Chemical reactions and Ocean Acidification from the course outline
- Review the topic of ocean acidification from the NOAA website: https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/acidification.html
- Relate the topics on this webpage with the topics listed on the course outline. How do they relate? Post your ideas in the “post” section of Edmodo
- There will be no lessons provided during our scheduled Spring Break (April 4-12)
- Answer to yesterday’s warm-up:amount remaining = 1/8 = (1/2)^3; 3 half-lives; time needed for decay = (4.46 × 10^9 years)(3) = 1.34 × 10^10 years
- Half life lab; lab due Monday; see Edmodo (lessons folder) for further instructions
- Post lab quiz Monday: what did you learn? Definitions; how do nuclides differ from one another?
During this trying time coping with our lives being affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and the school closure, I want to reassure you that I will still be providing high quality lessons that West Campus students have grown accustomed to. I will be posting the lesson agendas and objectives daily on my website (wcscience.com) for students and parents to have access to. I will also be using our Edmodo platform for other lesson elements. Students will be able to upload their work to that platform, where I will provide constructive feedback on how they may improve their work. The situation being dynamic I will be waiving late penalties as long as the delays are reasonable. Students may complete work on lined paper if they are unable to print the hardcopy of the material and upload photos using their smartphones or computers. Further instructions will follow in the days ahead.
Please stay safe and healthy during our extended absence from school. Please log onto Edmodo daily to keep up with your work. If you need to contact me you may e-mail me at s_mapplebeck@yahoo.com. I will be active during weekdays between 8 am to 3 pm.
Sincerely,
Scott Mapplebeck

- Given the concept of nuclear chemistry, you will know that the scale of energy changes in a nuclear process is much larger (hundreds of thousands or even millions of times larger) than the scale of energy changes in a chemical process.
- Given the concept of ultraviolet radiation, you will be able to describe how shorter wavelength electromagnetic radiation (ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays) can ionize atoms and cause damage to living cells.
- Complete lab
- Lab debrief; lab due on Thursday
- Lab quiz on Thursday; you should know the following: definitions from objectives, type of reaction, safety hazards, safety precautions, and the procedure for reagent disposal
- Submit Stoichiometry problem set
- Bring Modern Chemistry to class for rest of unit
- Bonding quiz on Tuesday
- Bonding lab debrief; lab due today
- Bonding lab post-lab quiz on Wednesday; know: how to draw Lewis structures and structural formulas from the lab, what the parts of the lab kit are used for (the ones discussed in the lab), and what are the functional groups in alcohols.
- Reaction of sodium and water
- Van DeGraaf generator
- Notes: Metallic Bonds
- Read 195-196; Do 1-4 page 196 (Modern Chemistry)
- Bonding lab tomorrow
- Bonding quiz on Tuesday; know: types of bonds, properties of bonds, how to draw Lewis dot structures, how electronegativity is used to determine bond type, octet rule, how to determine the number of valence electrons
