Friday December 14th

You all rocked chapter 8! Next up, molecular models - ooh-la-la!! Okay, seriously, it IS fun to build them. So, your homework over the weekend is to read Ch. 9 up to p. 357. Va, you'll present 12. Molly, you'll present 20. Adam, you'll present 24. Marlia, you'll present 30. On Monday, I'll be at a doctor's appointment and you are expected to impress Ms. Crock with your chemistry know-how and give present your answers to your homework. Ms. Crock will bear witness to this and report back to me. If there is time, you'll make a molecular model of glucose and be able to explain to each other and Ms. Crock the most stable/likely bond geometries of that molecule. On Tuesday, I'll give a lecture on Ch. 9 on bond polarity, orbital hybridization, and molecular orbitals. Lab day will be modeling day (with a substitute teacher). Friday, you'll have a quiz. I'll be gone both Thursday and Friday, recovering from knee surgery. So, to some degree, we'll all be suffering a little bit, but come out stronger! I will provide you all with an extra credit opportunity on Tuesday for doing over winter break. Have fun next week!

Hope your surgery goes well and we'll be good little chemists for Ms. Crock and the sub.
