Day 124
Hi class,
Don't forget to comment below by 8 am on Monday.
The quiz on sections 10.7 through 10.9 will be administered during class on Monday. In preparation for the quiz, review the lecture notes and the homework problems. In particular, you need to understand the kinetic-molecular theory and its application to gas laws, molecular effusion and diffusion, and the deviation of real gases from ideal behavior.
The presentations on chapter 18 are due by 10 pm on Monday. There are many ways you can get your presentation to me. You can use email, dropbox, or Google Drive. You can also hand me your presentation on a USB drive during school on Monday. The sooner you send me your presentation, the sooner I can give you feedback.
The point of this project is to determine whether you can interpret a college-level text and teach the information to your peers. Therefore, you should present your information as a lecture. Below, I have provided the grading rubric and a few notes that we discussed in class on Friday.
Grading Rubric
Time: 5 pts
Delivery: 15 pts

Notes
1) Do not read straight from your Powerpoint or Prezi, etc. Use your slides as an outline. You may bring note cards if necessary.
2) You do not need to cite images, but you do need to cite information that is not in the text. You can either create citation slides at the end of your presentation, or you can hand me a works cited page. You may use MLA format for your citations. On the citation slides or page, indicate that all images were reproduced without permission.

Hi class,

The homework will be due on Thursday instead of tomorrow. The homework problems so far are 77, 81, 83, 85, 89, and 93.
We will discuss van der Waals equation at the beginning of class tomorrow. For the rest of the class period, you will be free to work on your projects with your partner, so you may bring your laptop to class tomorrow.
Some of the material today was hard to understand in one sitting, so I have posted a video below that does a decent job of explaining why gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressure and low temperature.

Day 120
Hi class,
Don't forget to comment below by 8 am tomorrow.
The project will be due on Monday at 5pm instead of Sunday at 5 pm so that you have all of Sunday to work on the project as well. This means the presentation schedule has been shifted back one day. Your presentation should take 35 minutes plus or minus 3 minutes instead of 40 minutes. There will now be a 10-minute Q&A after each presentation. Every student in the audience must ask at least one question, and the presenters must be prepared to answer these questions.
The link to the pdf version of Chapter 18 on the last blog post is working now.
If you were not in class today, we went over section 10.7 and the first topic of section 10.8. The homework on sections 10.7-10.9 will be due on Wednesday. The homework problems so far are 77, 81, and 83.

Day 119
Hi class,
Don't forget to comment below by 8 am on Monday.
I would recommend getting started on your project this weekend. If you were not in class the last few days, here is the pdf version of Chapter 18. You can grab a hard-copy on Monday. Below, I have outlined your approach for this project.
1. Meet with partner (see last blog post) and create game-plan.
2. Read your assigned section of Chapter 18.
3. Determine what information will be covered in your lecture from the Chapter 18 reading.
4. Research outside information to supplement the information in the reading. (Don't forget to cite sources. Wikipedia can be used as a tool but not as a source.)
5. Your presentation can include images, videos, etc.
6. Compile a list of ten homework questions. (You can use some of the questions from the textbook or use the textbook questions to form your own questions.)
7. Send me your presentations and your homework questions by 5 pm on Sunday, March 30.

Hi class,
Don't forget to comment below by 8 am tomorrow.
Today, I informed the two students in class about a future project. I have broken-down the class into the following pairs: Mariah and Symphony, Cole and Haley, and Ben and Shaji. Each pair must read their assigned section of chapter 18, create a 40-minute lecture on that section, present the lecture in class, and compile a list of ten homework problems to accompany their lecture. Cole and Haley have section 1. Mariah and Symphony have section two. Ben and Shaji have sections 3 and 4. You must email me your presentation and list of homework problems with solutions by 5 pm on March 30th. The presentations will take place the week of March 31st. Cole and Haley will present on Monday. Mariah and Symphony will present on Tuesday. Ben and Shaji will present on Wednesday.

Hi class,

The exam on chapters 3, 4, 5 and most of 10 will be administered during class tomorrow. You may fill-out the provided index card as a cheat sheet for the exam. Do not memorize how to work specific problems. Instead, understand how to get from what you are given to your solution. In sum, use dimensional analysis. If you have any questions, you can email me anytime before midnight.
The keys to the quizzes are available through Google Drive. Each of you should have received an email with a link to two zip files that contain the keys. (Ben, I wasn't able to send you the link. What is your email address?)

Day 114
Hi class,
Comment below by 8 am on Monday.
As you know, the nine weeks exam has been moved to this Tuesday. The exam will still contribute to your Quarter 3 grades. Since the exam is worth 100 points, this test can really help or hurt your grade. You are allowed to bring a cheat sheet, which I will discuss in further detail on Monday. You can also ask me any questions at anytime via email or in class on Monday.
