Honors Chem HW assignment for Thursday, Jan. 19th

This is an honors-only assignment; meaning, you do not have to complete it if you are in the regular chemistry classes (1st, 5/6th, 7th, 8th):

1) Read an article in a scientific magazine or science book (3-5 pages) and, after reading the text, identify at least eight words that you did not know the definition for.

2) Write these words down, and then look up and write down their proper definition. NO one-word 'summary'-style definitions; it should be clear that you know the part of speech of the word (ie, verb, noun, adjective) and what it means.

3) Use the word in a sentence of your own making.

HW for this week -- Scientific Method packet

Your HW for this week, which we started on in class on Tuesday, will be due when you come in to class next Monday (Jan. 23). There is no electronic assignments this week, only that you complete, with correct answers, the number of exercises in the packet to give you the grade that you want:

180 pts correct = check (85%)
240 pts correct = checkPlus (95%)
300 pts correct = checkDoublePlus (105%)

As is usual for HW, we will grade your work on the packet together, in class, on Monday. Good luck with your interim tests this week!
