VIDEO: HEAT OF SOLUTION LAB (ANALYSIS)

In a previous lab, Mr. Hatfield walked students through the steps needed to collect data in the 'Heat of Solution' Lab. 

In this VIDEO, Mr. Hatfield explains how students will analyze the data from this Lab for two reactions, one exothermic and the other endothermic.


Mr. Hatfield will demonstrate how to use the data from "Trial #2" shown on the whiteboard in class.

Students will then use Q =mCdT to find the energies (q) for both reactions in Joules, then discuss how those energies can be used to find the enthalpy of reaction, where dH (delta H) = -(q) / mol

VIDEO: HEAT OF SOLUTION LAB

In this VIDEOMr. Hatfield walks students through the protocols and procedures of the 'Heat of Solutions' lab, which uses calorimetry to measure temperature changes ('delta T') in water based on chemical reactions involving sodium hydroxide or ammonium chloride:

WEEK 14 AT A GLANCE

Students:  here is your 'Week At A Glance' for Week 14 of instruction in our Chemistry classes. 

 


I also want to say that, due to the unexpected and difficult-to-anticipate demands of 'Simultaneous Instruction', be advised this is a VERY general plan.  

When attempting to do a Lab in the physical classroom, there is a very different experience for in-person learners vs. distance learners, but we want to make sure we are working to promote EQUITY.  

So, to make sure that all students have an opportunity to take part in an actual lab experience, we may have to either make opportunities available during Student Support, or shuffle the times required in scheduled class periods.  This is my pledge to all of you.

WEEK 13 AT A GLANCE

Students:  here is your 'Week At A Glance' for Week 13 of instruction in our Chemistry classes. 

 

I also want to say that, due to the unexpected and difficult-to-anticipate demands of 'Simultaneous Instruction', be advised this is a VERY general plan, and we may need to make serious tweaks to the plan as we go along in order to provide equitable opportunities for all learners.

REVISED BULLARD SCHEDULES: 'SIMULTANEOUS LEARNING'

I'm providing some illustrations here to assist students as we make the transition to 'Simultaneous Learning', where some cohorts of students (A, B)  will spend some days as distance learners and other days as in-person learners, while other cohorts are either full-time distance learners (C) or full-time in-person learners (D).

This week, freshman and seniors will make that transition.  Next week, sophomores and juniors will be found in all cohorts, as well. The first graphic makes the differences between Week 13 and Week 14 of the spring semester clear:



Here is Bullard's Schedule with these cohorts for the rest of the spring semester:

STUDENT SUPPORT AND TUTORING

STUDENTS: Mr. Hatfield will continue to offer STUDENT SUPPORT at 2:15-3:15 throughout the rest of the semester.  You may attend that everyday it's offered if you like.   


This week, STUDENT SUPPORT is available every day EXCEPT Thursday.   SATURDAY SCHOOL, which was offered on April 10 and 17, will not be offered again this semester.

You can also take advantage of ongoing tutoring offered at Bullard for all subjects for the rest of the semester through Zoom, by clicking HERE.   Here is the schedule of offerings at Bullard:
