Homework for Monday, Feb. 22

• Periodic Table Handout
• Question # 4, asks you to draw a Bohr Diagram that illustrates the difference between neon isotopes. The question should say neon-20 and neon-22. The number that follows is the mass number of that particular isotope. Based on what we discussed in class about isotopes, you should be able to describe how and why neon-20 and neon-22 differ...

Science 10

On the eve of our first real lab in Science 10 I thought I would post a video that talked about the difference between Physical and Chemical Changes. This one is a little simplistic, but it gets the point across with some examples and great visuals if you still are a little confused by the two types of changes...Remember to read Page 16 in your textbook and wear appropriate clothing for tomorrow's class.

After wrapping up our discussion of the scientific method in class today I mentioned the Stanford Prison Experiment that completely changed our way of conducting sociological and psychological experiments on human beings. Here's a trailer of a major motion picture that was made last year depicting the experiment. Don't worry our experiments won't be anything like this...Let me know what you think.
