__ reflect on this: __ "Kites rise highest against the wind-not with it." - Winston Churchill

i think today's quote is saying that you should be a leader not a follower.

__ exit slip __ : Today we used the molecular model kits to build various molecules. Did you find this useful, interesting, fun, etc? Explain

It was interesting, but it wasn't useful because we can't tell if there's a double bond or triple bond if we don't have the kit.

May 1st, 2012. warm up: How do you know when you should do a double bond or a triple bond on a molecular model?

you have to do a double or triple bond when there's extra holes in the model.

__ Reflect on this: __ : "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." - Aristotle Onassis

this quote is saying that even when we're at our lowest point dont just give up, try harder to get to the top.

__ exit slip __ : What is the relationship between number of holes in the colored ball and the valence electrons for the molecular model? In other words, why do hydrogen balls have only one hole while oxygen has 2?

The number of holes represent how many valence electrons is needed in an atom in the molecular atom. Hydrogen only has one hole because it has one electron, Oxygen has two holes because it has 6 valence electrons, and it needs 2 more (the holes) to be complete.

May 2nd, 2012. __warm up__: How did working with the molecular models help you understand things better? Be Specific! What did it help you understand?

The molecular models helped me with understanding double bonds and triple bonds.

__ reflect on this: __ "Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your sunshine." - Anthony J. D'Angelo

this quote is saying that you always have to keep your head up and stay positive.

May 3rd, 2012. __Warm Up:__ How is it that we are able to walk, breath, eat, sleep, etc? What makes all of these things possible?

May 7th, 2012. __warm up:__ What is a natural resource? What are some natural resources that you can think of?

A natural resource is something that is useful for us and is natural. for example, the sun is a natural resource because it isnt man made and it gives us warmth, grows our plants and more.
