Hello!

Welcome back to school! I am excited to start a new year here at Lower Moreland. Almost all of the work my calss does is online at Edmodo.com. Your students have all signed up for edmodo already and I am in the process of getting parent codes out to all of you. I will have the codes available on back to school night next Wednesday, but if you would like them before that, please let me know.

Until then, please fill out this form

Thanks,
Mr. Engleman

Here we go again

Ok...Here we are starting back to the last month of the first half of the year. Could you believe it? It certainly goes by quickly. The Chemistry final will happen during the final week of January. Between now and then we will cover more periodic trends, chemical bonding, and chemical reactions. Please ask for help if you are confused. I am available after school everyday for you to ask questions. Don't waste time! The final will be here before you know it.

SPD

s=2

p=6

d=10

For the question that was asked in per #4. Here is the answer I found for you.

The orbital labels s, p, d, and f originate from a now-discredited system of categorizing spectral lines as sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental, based on their observed fine structure. When the first four types of orbitals were described, they were associated with these spectral line types, but there were no other names.

Here are some links that my help you as we go forward in chem. I did not make these, but a teacher at the University of Texas did. Electron Configurations. andThe periodic table.

Back.

Hello Parents, I have been posting so much stuff on Edmodo, and the students seem to enjoy it so much, that I have been missing out on posting on blogger. Well I am back.

Here you go..
Periods a-4 and c-6
Monday Homework was that the students were to read the lab posted on edmodo and answer the pre lab questions.
Tuesday: The students made some Physical and Chemical Changes in the lab and for homework they had some questions to answer about them.
Wednesday: We talked about another technique that is called distillation. The students were assigned a pre lab to read and pre lab questions to answer. The document is available on the edmodo site.
Thursday: We are going to carry out our lab work that was assigned on Wedneday. This lab will take two days.
Friday: We will finish the lab, and the students will answer the questions and complete the lab report by TUESDAY

Period 8
Tuesday the students worked on developing a lab procedure that will help them separate a salt and sand mixture. The procedure was worked on in class, and they must refine the procedure for homework.
Wednesday The students started to follow their salt and sand procedure in class. They worked until they had followed half of their lab procedure. They will continue their separation techniques in class on Thursday.
Thursday The students will complete their lab that was assigned on Wednesday. They will answer the 8 questions that are attached at the end of the lab.
Friday: We will do some Halloween science.

Parents Night

Hello Parents,

It was great to get to meet you tonight, and I hope to meet the rest of you that may not have been able to make it. I am really looking forward to a great year with you and your students. Please feel free to email me, but please identify your self as Robbie's mom, or something similar. We get many e-mails, and sometimes it is hard to identify who the folks that send them are.

Please remember to do your homework if you have not done it so far! I appreciate it!

Thanks,
Mr.E.

First full week

Monday-Finish the safety videos and our guided video notes. The link to the videos can be found on the class Edmodo.com site.
Tuesday-Safety Quiz. The magic number here is 80%. You must get at least an 80% to continue on in the course. I will work with you if you did not get there. After the Quiz, we will start with conversions and measurement. There will not be homework
Wednesday-Retake the safety quiz and continue with Measurement and Conversions. We will continue our work with both measurements and conversions. Homework will be a conversions practice sheet. You will be assigned your book and given instructions for the online component of the book. Fill in the form on Edmodo with your book number.
Thursday- More practice and discussion of Scientific Notation, Measurement and Conversion. Homework is 36 conversion practice problems.
Friday-We will review the measurement practice sheet and work on our measurement and conversion paper slide movie. If your phone shoots video, or your carry a digital camera that can shoot video, that is all we need! Bring it to class! Homework will be to finish the paper slide video if not done in school. The video will be uploaded to edmodo.com by Monday morning.

8th Period Only:
Monday: Finish the safety videos and our guided video notes. The link to the videos can be found on the class Edmodo.com site.
Tuesday-Safety Quiz. The magic number here is 80%. You must get at least an 80% to continue on in the course. I will work with you if you did not get there. After the Quiz, we will start with conversions and measurement. There will not be homework.
Wednesday: We will look over our individual brain storming session build a group around our concept. Then we will agree on a set up for the challenge and build it. You will also get a copy of the online book instructions. You must set up an online textbook account and send me a copy of the confirmation. Thursday: We will finish our lab setup and run it. I want to see if we could move water from one location to the other against gravity without touching the flask or beaker. Will you make it happen? Lets see! The sheet for this is available on edmodo. Complete the sheet, and email it, print it, or drop it on edmodo.
Friday: You need to have submitted a copy of the online book account info by now. You will start working in your groups to make a paper slide video about measurement and conversions. If you have a phone that shoots video or a digital camera that can shoot video, feel free to bring it to class.
