Vegium - Calculating Average Atomic Mass

Today we finished the chapter on the atom.  We reviewed the different models of the atom.  (Don't forget you need to be able to compare and contrast these models for the test on Wednesday).  We also learned to calculate the average atomic mass of an isotope.  This was the last skill of the unit.  The lab on candium found on page 120 in your textbook was completed and all calculations and all analysis questions should be completed for next class.  Don't forget to wrap up your listening skill portfolio for this unit.  My best advice for preparation for the test on Wednesday is to begin to study tonight rather than tomorrow.  Cramming information into your brain will not work.  Remember you need to apply the information for a test.  Make sure you review the labs - what was the purpose of the labs, what skills did we learn through our labs.  Draw as many diagrams of the concepts as you can.  Pictures help you to remember the concepts learned in class.  Study with someone.  Have them test you on the information.  Review the key concepts from your notes.  What have I emphasized the most?  Think of examples for each concept!!!
Email or post questions to the blog.  Good luck studying!!

This weekend I will participate in the community crop walk.  I walk because they have to.  Image of well in TZ
