5 balancing
5 naming compounds
5 sigfigs

I think that this resource is awesome: Chem Team. There are a lot of practice problems and tips on how to solve problems. It can be wordy, but helpful.

Practice worksheets HERE!

Hope this helps! Remember, I'll be out of town Monday to Wednesday afternoon. I'll be in early Thursday. Don't hesitate to ask Ms. Strand for questions...she's really helpful!

Biology...Those Yeasties Beasties!

Hey Bio students! Welcome back from an extended Christmas Break. Love that snow!!!

If you recall, we were studying yeast population growth in solution and counting yeast cells each day. Today, we are going to summarize our data and put it in a google document, found here:

2008 Yeast Data

You will use this data to write your lab report using the format from UNCU's LabWrite. You have your data, hypothesis and this blog to help you out.

The Lab Report is due next Monday, January 12th!
