Donut Sale

SHS Viking Academic Team will sell Krispy Kreme donuts 2 for $1 during all three lunches Tuesday 9/6.  In fact, we'll sell donuts every 1st and 3rd Tuesday.  Great donuts, great price, great team.  Thanks for your support!

 If this isn't the video you need there are lots more at brightstorm.com
They have math, chemistry, and physics that I have used. Great way to study if you learn by listening! There are videos that would help in 3 different units at brightstorm.  Check out "Introduction to Chemistry", "Matter", and even the phase change video in "Kinetic Molecular Theory." The KMT videos are a bit more detailed than you need right now, but there is a good explanation of our heating curve graph.

Another new terms set posted

All 32 terms are in the flashcard set at quizlet!
You need to know ALL of them for the test, but Wednesday's quiz is just the new words.  Hard work pays off; keep studying.

New Terms Set Posted

Quizlet flash cards for Friday's quiz are posted. You can study lots of ways but I like the "test" feature.  Your test is NOT matching or multiple choice so study some more after you think you've mastered the words in quizlet. The quiz will actually have 11 questions and you only have to get 10 correct to make 100%.  Have fun studying.

Tonight's Homework

Rounding trouble?  You may have to use scientific notation on a few of these.  If you are rounding to TWO digits then you look at the 3rd significant digit (from the left) to decide if the second digit stays the same or rounds up.  Ex.   5.067  would round to 5.1 if I were asked for only 2 significant figures.

Dimensional Analysis -
1.  Set up your unit following the format below.

    given  x  unknown  = unknown
                    given

2.  Write a 1 beside the larger unit in the conversion factor. It may be in the top or bottom of the fraction.

3.  Look at your metric prefix scale (number line) and count how many spaces the unit prefixes are apart.
        kilo to centi  is 5 spaces apart so write 10^5 beside centi because it is the smaller unit.
        micro to milli is 3 spaces so write 1000 beside micro because it is the smaller unit.

4. SOLVE! Use your calculator if you need to. Multiply the given by the value on top of the fraction and then divide by the value on the bottom of the fraction.

Answers 1. 0.056 L  3. 1.2 x 10^-4 or 0.000 12 cg  5. 430 L

PTSO night

Welcome back Parents - Aug 29th.  Mark your calendars and get a copy of your kids schedule as well as their tips about getting from place to place.  (There will be schedules here if needed.) While there is never enough time to finish conversations that night I always look forward to meeting parents. And as a parent it always helps to "walk in their shoes" for a brief time. If you have to miss for some reason I'd love to get an email at frchambers@spart7.org so that we start a line of communication. I want every student to know that we are working together to give them every chance to succeed.
