A New Tool

I have been playing around with Evernote, a combination desktop/web tool for capturing and managing notes of all types. You can add tags (of course). You can search and collect all kinds of notes, pictures, sounds, etc. It can search for words within pictures.

Do you think we can use it for class? What could we do with it? Would you like to try?

Let me know what you think.

Molecules - "Dot" Diagrams

This picture has several examples of "dot" diagrams. I think if you practice with these, you should be fine for tomorrow's test. Remember, you are only concerned with the electrons in the outside  layer.

You can also click here for a reference for doing these diagrams.

Don't forget that it is more important to study well from the study guide.

Molecular Models Software

Hi guys!

Here is a link to the software I used to show you how molecules work.

There are instructions for how to install and use it.

Human Body Systems Project

Here is a set of good web resources you can use to research/teach each other about the rest of the human body systems.

And here is a list of the questions to keep in front of you as you are working:

1. What are the parts?
2. What do the parts do?
3. How do the parts work with other parts?
4. How does this system help the body maintain homeostasis?
5. How do diseases teach us about how the system functions normally?

Here is a link to the assignment.

Enjoy!
