Monday January 7th

Welcome back! I hope you were not too disappointed in the lack of things left for you to do the last few days of the week before break. And I also hope that some of you tried the extra credit options! At any rate, we have a lot to get done before the AP exam. It looks like we will need to tackle a chapter per week until April 25th or so, and then review before our exam. The exam date is May 13th (don't worry, its a Tuesday). That leaves us some time to review and take a few practice tests before you go into it. But first, this week. We begin chapter ten, which is a nice transition back to school life because it is pretty easy to understand and a bit of a review for you all. Homework Monday is to read pages 399-412. There is only one exercise for each of you and all you have to do is show how the book's answer makes sense by showing the calculations and the work. Marlia and Va will do the practice exercise on page 412 (the one about the natural gas storage tank), and Adam and Molly will do the practice exercise on page 413 (the one about the oxygen in a cylinder). See you Monday!
