Elements+and+Water

- quickwrite; "List four properties of life," "Is a plant seed living or not? Explain your answer." (notes: movement is not one of them, ultimately difficult to define) - nature of subject from IB - cont. "Chemistry for Biology Students" - - seating chart
 * 8/26/10**

HW

 * order [|IB Course Companion, Second Edition] if you have not done so
 * if you need to review chem., read pg. 20-26 in Raven and Johnson book over the next couple days
 * read pg. 44-46 in "Tiger" book

- Properties of Water lab
 * 8/27/10**

HW
Tiger book DBQ (data-based question) pg. 44

- Bell Ringer - check DBQ and go over (2nd period only) - finish Properties of Water lab
 * 8/30/10**

HW; finish lab activity questions
- go over DBQ (8th period only) - hand back quickwrites and explain I, C, zero - go over lab (polarity leading to hydrogen bonding, leading to thermal, cohesive and solvent properties)
 * 8/31/10**
 * cohesion and surface tension (waterstrider, nanorobotic waterstrider, water spider, mosquito larvae)
 * solvent properties (transport of nutrients and wastes and medium for metabolic reactions)
 * thermal properties (moderating temperatures and coolant; alcohol vs. water)

- hand back "bell quiz" - discuss lab and thermal properties of water - large organic molecules - "Biology for Chem. Students" movie
 * 9/1/10**

HW; pg. 47-50 in Tiger book, quiz Friday over "Chemical Elements and Water"
- organic molecule lab - 3D glucose
 * 9/2/10**
