CHEMISTRY

Welcome to Chemistry!

May 26-29 - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

    1. LAB LOCKERS! If you have something in your lab locker that you need. Please email me today and I will put it in a bag and take it to the front office for pickup on Wednesday, May 28. Anything that remains in lab lockers will be donated.
    2. This is it! The last week of school! I have missed each and every one of you during the school closure. I hope you are well and I hope you have the most amazing summer ever! Please stop in some time next year and say Hi. Or, if you see me out in public (once "out in public" becomes a thing again) yell at me and say Hi! TAKE CARE!!
  1. Home Science Labs
      • This is the last assignment of the year. When this is done, so are you (unless you haven't completed all of your missing work...)!
      • Q2: "Billings Senior High science teachers deliver hands-on learning during COVID-19"
      • Pick up your "Home Science Labs" kit at the Senior High main office.
        • See the picture below so you can pick up your kit without having to ask the secretary where they are.
        • Please only take one kit.
        • The labs are all due Tuesday, May 26th before 11:00 pm
        • The purpose of doing this is to have something hands-on and fun for science to finish out the year. These labs are a replacement for the Chemistry Final and the Chemistry Lab Final - so they are mandator (and they are super easy and super fun and you get to keep all of the stuff!! Yay!!!)

April 30 - Thursday

    1. NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!! Get out and get some sunshine!
    2. Checking In
    • I need to let you how much I appreciate you taking the time to check in with Batman each day. It is a good reminder to me that you are out there, even though I don't get to see you every day. I also appreciate that so many of you have taken the time to add a comment and remind me that you have a life outside of this computer screen! I love reading them! And, it is really interesting to see what time of the day you are jumping into chemistry! I am surprised by who are the "morning glories" and who are the "night owls"! If you need anything at all (food, an air 'high-five', help with chemistry, anything!) let me know. And, stay safe!
    • Check-in with Batman!
    1. Office Hours
      • Where did your office hours go, Mr. Beals? When I started with the Zoom office hours not many teachers were using zoom so it was a good platform to see your faces and say hello! But, according to some of your classmates, as more and more teachers are using zoom it has taken up more and more of your time (I supposed this depends on which teachers you have). I don't want to put too much on your plate so I have left office hours open - which means I will gladly schedule a zoom call with you anytime - individually or as a group. Just let me know. I will have formal office hours in the coming weeks by class period (more on this later).
    2. Labs
      • You know how much I love labs! I think the most important part of this class is DOING science, not just learning about it. So...
      • I am working on a "Home Science Kit" with some equipment and simple, fun, labs that you can do at home!! Don't worry, everything you need will be in the kit. And, you get to keep all of the fun stuff as a memento of your time in chemistry (at school...and at home)! Oh, and there will be no formal lab write-ups (more info soon)!
      • Next week I will send out a form to find out if you want to pick up your "Home Science Kit" at Senior or if you want me to drop one off on your front step.
    3. Assignment from yesterday
      • Check your answers to be sure you are doing the problems correctly. If you are confused or unsure why you are not getting the correct answers, please email me and we will schedule a time to help you.

    1. FYI: The School Board voted last night to keep schools closed through the end of the year and to continue online learning through the end of the year. So, we will continue on our path of remote learning. I will update you soon with more information as we start to figure out what curriculum and learning objectives are deemed "essential" to complete by the end of the year. For now, we push forward with Stoichiometry!

      1. Complete the following practice problem on your assignment:
          • Nickel reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce nickel(II) chloride and hydrogen gas. If 5.00 g Ni and 2.50 g HCl react, determine the limiting reactant, the mass of the excess reactant after the reaction is complete, and the mass of nickel(II) chloride produced.
        1. Check your answer here.

      3. Pg 403 #29

April 27 - Monday

    1. Thank you:
    • I appreciate how hard many of you worked on your TCOD3 project. I especially appreciate that so many of you were able to be creative with your projects, improvise, and get it done with all of the changes in your lives. I am proud of you and I am grateful to have young people like you in my life.
    • Some people love the TCOD3 project, some people absolutely hate it, and most people fall somewhere in between. Regardless of whether or not you hate or love the project, I hope you can see the value - that you are exploring how chemistry is involved in (literally) everything around us.
    • If you look at the issues facing humanity today, it is people like you (the motivated, talented, hard-working, intelligent people) who will fix the problems. It is people like you that will find a vaccine to this problem and to other problems that will undoubtedly occur in the future.
      • Without people like you, who will grow up to be independent, creative, thinkers-and-doers, the issues that face humanity will never be overcome.
      • So, I thank you for being incredible young adults - in these darker times, the future looks bright - because of you.
    1. You have only one assignment for Chemistry today: Check-in with Batman! and let me know how you are doing. Take the rest of your chemistry "class time" to catch your breath. Tomorrow we will jump back into stoichiometry.
