9/21/09 Properties of Matter



Today in class:

  • We finished unit 1 Introduction. The notes for this unit and all future units will be available, online. I will have it in three formats. Click the links to get each format:
    • 2 slides per page, in color
    • 6 slides per page, grayscale
    • The entire PowerPoint presentation, with all media. This is in compressed (zip) format. You will have to unzip the file. Many computer operating systems do this automatically. If you have difficulty you can download one of the many free programs to do this, search for unzip. This file includes a file to allow you to view the program, even if you don’t own PowerPoint. If you have any questions, ask, I will try to help you through it.
  • Collected the lab that was due.
  • Continued with notes from the next unit, Periodic Table.
