New assignments are available on the assignments page. We start off the New Year with a "paper" lab — there is no pre-activity assignment, and you do not need to print off the "element cards" or the "graph paper". All will be waiting for you! |

Some lab groups had some difficulty with the precipitation reaction well plate spilling when they tried to turn the plate over to view the results. I took pictures with Elmo of a nicely done plate viewed on a black background and a white background. These may help you interpret your results. |

Using my SmartPen with no audio, I wrote out a VSEPR table like the one we did in E-block, started in G-block, but haven't yet started in F-block. You may find it a useful resource for the Molecular Modelling activity you are working on during my absence. I suggest you print off a copy!
