Week Three: 1/22 – 1/25

Week Three:  1/22 – 1/25

Chemistry I Lesson Plans - We will continue to look at electron configuration, shorthand, orbital, and dot notations for quantum numbers to give the location of electrons in the electron cloud.  These positions determine the reactivity of an atom and predictions can be made about properties of an element based on the outer shell electrons.  Lasers will be used to determine the distance between tracks on a CD.  Nanotechnology is introduced in this way.  Orbital notation and electron dot notation are added to our notes.  In-class practice of these notations takes place this week while some groups work on the laser labs.

Tuesday:  I am gone this day.
