Water, water everywhere and the Back Bone of Life!

Tests have been scored folks and they generally look good with both classes achieving a "B" for the mean score (actually this tells me two things - either the tests were too simple, or you guys are seriously studious [ I like the latter explanation]).

Next week we should be starting Organic Chemistry (or a very simplified version of O-Chem) which will put us on the road for some fun lectures.

I'll post those notes below the ones on water below. 

Also note these cool links:

Moles and Grams and Molecules Tutor!

How do we know the structure of the atom anyway?

And the electrons!

Here are the Notes:

Those Bieber-esq bosons

Hello class,



Just a few announcements with this post of notes:

Killifish will have an exam this Friday (Sept 13) covering SI units (prefixes and sizes), Dimensional analysis, Graphing, and the Scientific Method.

Mummichogs will have their exam the following Monday (Sept 16).

Be sure to turn in your Water Properties essay tomorrow to my mailbox.  Only under extreme circumstances (not having ink or paper is not a good excuse, use your homeschool's printer if you need to) will I accept them electronically.
