Ions, Isotopes, and Stable atoms. Oh MY!

We had a competition in class to see which groups could name the most ions, isotopes, and stable atoms given the amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons.  The groups all worked feverishly for 11 minutes and here are the winners.

1st period:  Emma, Gabby, Ilse, and Kassandra P.

3rd period:  Georgina, Jose, Fernando, and Damien  Yea!

5th period:  Jason, Ray, Albert, and Nana

7th period:  Sarah, Jazzel, and Daniel

No homework today.  You can thank me later.  I’ll post the class averages from the quiz we took today on the blog tomorrow.  Stay tuned!

9-16 Daily Update o’ Fun!

Today, we did a bunch of little things and had no homework.  Nice day!  I showed a video that shows the fun of mixing the alkali metals of group 1 on the periodic table with water.  The explosions were pretty awesome.  The link to the youtube video is in the links section.  Check it out!

We also had a competition to see how many atoms each group could sort today.  The points gained from this competition will go on tomorrow’s bohr model quiz.

Speaking of which:  TOMORROW.  QUIZ.  OVER BOHR MODELS.  STUDY!

I had so much fun meeting all of your parents today!  Beware students, I know your parents now!  hwa hwa hwa.
