Physical Science 20 - Sept 3

Today we finished looking at the course outline and we talked about classroom expectations and procedures.  After all that, we got started on some chemistry.  I reviewed some stuff that you should be able to recall from previous science classes.  How to use the periodic table, what information we can get from the periodic table, how to count protons, neutrons, and electrons, etc.  Then we got into nomenclature.  Nomenclature is a fancy word for naming compounds and elements.  This once again should be review for you from Science 10.  We didn't get too far though through this.  We stopped on slide 9 of the Nomenclature Powerpoint.  Tomorrow we will continue on with this through to the end of multiple cationic charges.  We will be going pretty fast through this stuff as it should just be a review.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

We also watched a video at the start of this section that introduces naming to you.  The video can be found in the Physical Science 20 Video link on the right hand side, but I have also embedded it here.  Enjoy.
