Agenda

By Chemistry In The Earth System
    • Safety Quiz
    • Submit Density problem set
    • Math concepts quiz Wednesday; multiple choice format
    • How to use your digital textbook
    • Unit 1 Anchoring Phenomena: What distinguishes the minerals in a mountain?
    • Crystal formation video

    ▫Why are some of the crystals square shaped?

    ▫What happens when two crystals touch?

    ▫What would happen if you removed a crystal from the solution?

    • In your notebook, list examples of rocks or minerals that you are familiar with

    ▫What do you think causes the differences in the color of the minerals in the Rainbow Mountains?

    ▫What do you think caused the rock layers to have so many different colors at different periods on Earth?

Agenda

By AP Biology
  • Chapter 3 summary
  • Complete your work with the chemical model kits to demonstrate a knowledge of carbon and its properties; How can carbon form single, double, and triple bonds? Make models simple organic compounds (methane, ethane, propane, 1-butene, benzene); form isomers; form functional groups (see page 64-65).  Again, you should diagram, and photograph
