Time marches on and so do penguins.
The chemistry students had their first assessment today, a short quiz on unit conversion and the Measurement Lab. Hopefully, everybody did ok - we'll find out soon. The students also got their first Periodic Table and we went over some very basic stuff. I also mentioned how important it was not to memorize it. Why you ask? Because no one ever asked a chemist, "Hey, what's the atomic number of Berkelium? And no looking at the Periodic Table!" That has never happened. And hey, life is an open book test, isn't it?
The AP Biology students were once again subjected to a lecture on material that should be review from chemistry. We talked about large biomolecules like carbohydrates and lipids. We will continue our discussion on Thursday with proteins and nucleic acids.
Tomorrow is a Collaboration Day and it's a minimum day! Hurray!
