Wednesday

The crystal lab was very intriguing. I plan on using a portion of this in my AP Chemistry course. I think seeing actual crystal through the microscope will have more substance than seeing them on a flat piece of paper. The determination of the amount of energy involved when burning a piece of good was good but I would go into much further in my chemistry classes. The amount of work we did in class would be appropriate for younger students. Donna's demo. today with the cards was excellent. I discuss the difference between precision and accuracy in my classes. This was not only educational but drew in the idea of magic which made it very entertaining.
