Today ends our homecoming week. I hope all my students enjoy the game tonight and the dance tomorrow night. In class yesterday, we furthered our understanding of decay. From watching a music video to practicing on whiteboards, we should all have an understanding of the following types of decay: alpha, beta negative, and positron. We also practiced electron capture and bombardment reactions. I have graded the quizzes and I am really happy with the overall results. Nice job everyone! Please don't forget to continue to review these reactions and the graphic organizer that we did for a bell ringer. The graphic organizer is a great study tool. How many test questions can you develop from this? Remember - if you dream of the question than I can too. Although it might be a scary journey, begin to think like a teacher. Develop your own test questions. Try to answer them. When you begin to anticipate the test questions, you are actually studying. I will be grading the lab reports over the weekend. Looking ahead to next week - we will begin our study of half-life on Tuesday and do a lab activity. We will finish the unit on Thursday with more practice and activities. The unit test will be October 17. This will also be the day that the portfolio is due. Nuclear projects will be due October 19.
Have a great three day weekend. Enjoy your day off!
Until next time,
