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.

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!

      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.

    1. Scientific Naming Ceremony!!
    2. FLIR Infrared Scavenger Hunt
        • Day 1: Brainstorming
          • I work with FLIR to explore ways that infrared cameras can be used to "see" things like they've never been seen before! For me, the fun is in figuring out how science can also be artistic and interesting through the use of infrared cameras.
          • In this activity, together we get to explore the world in a way like nobody has seen it before - we get to experiment with infrared!
        1. Brainstorm experiments or activities you could perform during a class period to see if infrared would show us something we've never seen before. (examples: Invisible Labs)
        2. Think big, think crazy, but also think about what you could do safely at school (there are limitations!). The goal is to see something nobody has ever seen before! We will record it and share the best ones with all of the chemistry classes.
          1. Basically, think of a testable question that can only be answered by using the an Infrared Camera - it is OK if it doesn't work out as planned when you perform the experiment.
          • Click here to fill out the form.
        • Day 2: Start a new lab in your lab notebook titled "Infrared Scavenger Hunt"
        1. Select a suggestion from your class period as something you can test in IR.
        2. You will perform the experiment, demonstration or activity with the class.
        3. Check with Beals before continuing.
        4. Write a testable question based on the suggestion.
        5. Write down the suggested image or experiment AND the name of the person who entered it.
        6. Write down a detailed plan (procedure) for getting an image/video of the suggestion. (Include materials). You will be performing your experiment or activity for the class so make sure you are prepared and have done your research!
        7. Check with Beals before continuing.
      • Day 3: Do it! (only after you have approval)
        1. Record it with the FLIR T540 and Sony Video Camera.
        2. Answer your question based on your findings

          • I work with FLIR to explore ways that infrared cameras can be used to "see" things like they've never been seen before! For me, the fun is in figuring out how science can also be artistic and interesting through the use of infrared cameras.
          • In this activity, together we get to explore the world in a way like nobody has seen it before - we get to experiment with infrared!
        1. Brainstorm experiments or activities you could perform during a class period to see if infrared would show us something we've never seen before. (examples: Invisible Labs)
        2. Think big, think crazy, but also think about what you could do safely at school (there are limitations!). The goal is to see something nobody has ever seen before! We will record it and share the best ones with all of the chemistry classes.
        3. Click here to fill out the form.
        • Day 2: Start a new lab in your lab notebook titled "Infrared Scavenger Hunt"
        1. Select a suggestion from your class period as something you can test in IR.
        2. Check with Beals before continuing.
        3. Write a testable question based on the suggestion.
        4. Write down the suggested image or experiment AND the name of the person who entered it.
        5. Write down a plan for getting an image/video of the suggestion. (Include materials)
        6. Check with Beals before continuing.
      • Day 3: Do it! (only after you have approval)
        1. Record it with

Chemistry Review

I am in Las Vegas presenting at the Consumer Electronics Show. If you are interested, you can catch the presentations live and see what is new in the world of electronics at: https://www.BealsScience.com/InvisibleLabs

UPDATES:

I have gotten several emails about the FInal and the Review so please read:

  • The Review is not a graded assignment. The questions have been selected because they best represent the questions on the Final. Spend time where you need the most practice, spend less time in the sections you are comfortable with.
  • You may use a 3x5 inch (or 4x6 inch) notecard on the Final.
    • I had intended to put up all the equations on the board for the Final but realized that I did not leave it for the sub. So, you may fill out your own notecard with any information and equations you need. You may use the front and the back. Do not use a notecard larger than 4x6 inches.
    • All notecards will be turned in after you'd finished the final - no sharing of notecards.

Why Infrared? FLIR is trying to inspire the next generation of thinkers and doers be exposing young people to the latest in technologies in the thermal world. Thermal sensors are an important part of the consumer sector as sensors in self-driving cars, aerospace engineering, smart watches, advertising. The engineers who developed this technology never imagined these uses. Imagine the uses we can't even imagine right now! This is your future.

This is why I partnered with FLIR to create Invisible Labs with Craig Beals
