Glenn Seaborg is credited with being the discoverer or co-discoverer of these elements: plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium and his namesake, seaborgium.  Jeez, did the guy ever just watch TV?  I bet he would have liked Breaking Bad if he did.
The chemistry students worked on the Periodic Table activity and were introduced to the idea of periodicity, the way the Periodic Table shows trends among and between groups of elements. Congratulations to Jacob Funk who did a fine job explaining Rutherford's classic gold foil experiment.
The AP Biology students reviewed material for their quiz on Chapter 6 and the Mitosis and Meiosis Lab, which will be given tomorrow.  We also saw examples of videos at khanacademy.org and bozemanscience on youtube and how they can be used for review on a variety of subjects.
