Test Day!!

We have completed our second unit test in honors chemistry.  Today unit 2 portfolio and vegium lab was due.  This means I will be a very busy chemistry teacher for the next few days grading all of the assignments.  Students received their unit 3 portfolio and the next lab today.  On Friday, we begin our nuclear chemistry unit.  Pre-lab questions for " Characteristics of nuclear radiation" will be due on Friday.  We have also begun our first formal lab report.  A rough draft of an introduction and hypothesis will also be due on Friday for peer editing.  I'm including a website to use for a sample introduction on the blog- http://www.writing.engr.psu.edu/workbooks/labreport2.html#introduction
If you are struggling with what to write, please check out this site.   It is important to remember the following when writing an introduction:  why is this experiment being done, what is already known about the experiment, and what is the specific purpose of this experiment.  Finally, you will also need to write two separate hypothesis for the lab.  This must be in the if....then... format.
Looking forward to Friday,
Mrs. E
