Electrons

Physical Science spent the period discussing electrons and the structure of the electron cloud. The properties of the electron were described and the history of our understanding of electron cloud structure was reviewed. We'll get into the finer points of electron levels tomorrow and have time to laud the value of the valence electrons. Depending on the time required for that material, we may have time to start examining the periodic table. Our activity on Friday will allow us to relate atomic structure to periodic table organization. Make sure to have the 4.1 section review completed tomorrow so that we can go over the answers.

Physics and Honors Physics worked with Atwood's machine, which provides a mechanism for examining Newton's 2nd Law of Motion for interacting objects. Tomorrow - collisions!
