Never trust an atom they make up everything!

We have been busy budding chemists in Mrs. J’s chemistry class! We are currently beginning our third unit in which we will be studying atoms, electrons, and the periodic table. As I tell my students the first half a semester is adding the ‘tools’ to our ‘chemistry toolbox’ these are the last tools we will be adding. It is finally starting to feel more like chemistry around here! Students were asked to create a timeline of the history of the atom. This week we will be exploring just how tiny an atom is and then what an isotope is. We had some repairs to our chem lab the last week and a half or so, so its been a while since we have been able to go into the chem lab in order to do labs so we are excited to get back in there this week! Twice!

As always I encourage students to be completing all classwork/homework daily and then spending an additional 5-10 minutes reviewing it. Those extra few minutes are the difference maker in your success! Remember what we have been talking about TAKE PRIDE in your work. DRIVE is key, if you put in the effort success will follow.
