Thursday? What did we do today? Hmm... let me think.
The Chemistry students did a couple of things today. We got the new Learning Objectives for the second unit of study - More Periodic Table and Atomic and Molecular Structure. We then talked about how incredibly huge the number 602000000000000000000000 is. Yeah, that's a big number. That thing is called a mole. It's just like the word dozen (which means 12) - it just means a bigger number. Did you know that a mole of hockey pucks weighs the same as the moon but a mole of silicon only weighs 28 grams? You don't? Well, get to class then you would! The students also worked on an assignment about how big that number really is. Check out the mole presentation below.
The AP Biology students did a little microscope practice today. We observed our own epithelial cells which were carefully extracted from our mouths. We also checked out prepared slides of blood and onion root tip cells all in preparation for the Mitosis and Meiosis Lab which begins tomorrow.
